Mrs. Runkle lives in Raleigh with her husband and son. They enjoy exercising outside, cheering for NC State athletics, and regularly attend Hope Community Church.

“I have a particular interest in obstetrics, its blessings and its difficulties; however, in gynecology, I enjoy contributing to a woman’s awareness of her body and assisting her to care for it to her best ability. I enjoy forming trustworthy and educated relationships with women throughout their lives. Having the privilege to provide care in the fields of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a gift. Arbor ObGyn is a wonderful environment in which to practice.”

OB Care

Rachel is a great provider. I feel like she really takes her time to address any questions and I feel like after I leave I’ve “seen the doctor” and I feel good about where things are in my pregnancy. She makes sure that I understand everything and feel comfortable.

IUD Insertion / Removal

I was having trouble with my IUD causing pain. Rachel took my concerns extremely seriously and was able to move my appointment up to prevent further discomfort.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Visit with Dr. Rachel Runkle was fabulous as always! While getting labs done, blood spurted out of my arm/needle and onto my clothes/chair. Not a biggie and I got most of the blood out but I've never had that happen and lab lady kinda froze when it happened causing more to spill out. She seemed angry about the whole thing rather than apologetic.. Def not wearing an all ivory outfit to get blood drawn again.

Gynecological Exams

The nurse who checked me in ( I cannot recall her name) was an absolute delight. Fun and enthusiastic, you can tell she really enjoys her job. Rachel is always amazing. She takes time to listen to my concerns and provides thoughtful and valuable feedback. She was the first to recommend an endo ablation and I am so grateful she informed me of the option, since I had never heard of it. I’m three months post op, and very satisfied with the results.

Fertility Evaluation / Treatment

I’ve always been impressed with Arbor. I’ve been a patient for about 18 years (minus 6 while living away from the Raleigh area) and I’ve always gotten the BEST care at this office. Rachel was so gracious as I cried about my fears being a 35 yo woman without a baby who desperately wants one and was able to give me names of fertility clinics and encouraged me to have a convo with them to discuss options. Arbor is truly one of the best OBGYN offices
