Testimonials

“After one visit with Rachele Khadjehturian, I received a wealth of information that helped improve symptoms I had been living with for years. I went from waking up more than three times a night to maybe twice a week, with no pelvic pain—and now I know what changes I can make if symptoms return. Rachele listens closely, never makes you feel embarrassed, and brings compassion, deep knowledge, and exceptional bedside manner. Mostly, I can sleep at night again—and that has made a huge difference in my life.”

– Diana, Urology Patient, WestMed

Dear Westmed,

You have a rare gem in your urology department: Khadjehturian. In my many visits to doctors and other medical practitioners, I have never encountered one so invested in the overall wellbeing of the patient. Rachele takes the time to listen, truly listen, and it’s obvious that she cares on a deeper level. She is honest about whatever reality I may be facing, but she also inspires a wonderful sense of empowerment. When I leave her office, I feel like I have some control over what’s going on in my body. Armed with the information Rachele has given me (her knowledge about women’s health is unprecedented in my experience) and inspired by her “can-do” attitude, I feel hopeful about my future.

Thank you for exposing me to this one-of-a-kind practitioner.

Sincerely yours, — Long-time Westmed patient

To Whom It May Concern:

In March, 2019 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It was so bad that I couldn’t walk from my bed to the bathroom. I was treated by Dr. Jack Berger with Cimzia shots once per month and 6 methotrexate tablets once a week. Dr. Berger is caring and listens carefully to all of my concerns. helped me a great deal. I felt so much better, but still was having trouble with my pelvis/bladder hurting.

I went to Dr. Blair and was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, which I learned was a form of Rheumatoid Arthritis of the bladder.

I was referred to Rachele Khadjehturian F.N.P. when I was feeling my worst. I cannot tell you how impressed and delighted I was to have made her acquaintance. She assured me she could help me and she then proceeded to do just that. I was in pain and distraught when I met with her for the first time. She was kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable about remedies. She gave me literature about pelvic health (who knew there was such a thing!) and recommended that I start using coconut oil for my dryness, encouraged me to drink more water and work on eating a healthy diet. All of these suggestions made perfect sense to me and I did clean up my act. In addition to these remedies, she recommended that I have a compound shot into my bladder, which consists of gentamicin, heparin, lidocaine and sodium bicarbonate for the pain and discomfort. I now have this shot once per month and feel much better ever since I started this regime.

I would highly recommend Rachele Khadjehturian to anyone with pelvic or urinary issues. She is delightful and a true professional in every way.

Thank you.
— Kathleen M.

I had a wonderful appointment- so thorough and she really explained everything to me and was so kind!

“A simple thank you is not sufficient to acknowledge the help that you gave me over the past month. I have had a very painful and frustrating two years trying to address the vaginal issues that I developed as a result of the Tamoxifen regime that I have been on for the past four years and the aggregate issues that arose from lack of adequate treatment.

My frustration arises from the lack of knowledgeable help available for women who are experiencing pelvic issues regardless of the cause. Few medical people (or general public for that matter) are aware of the existence of your specialty in order to make a referral and even fewer have the ability to treat the issues adequately themselves.

You have most certainly mitigated my pain and furthermore, have given me tools and meds to be able to handle things myself unless I get into more trouble, in which case I will contact you. Fortunately for me, they have just opened a pelvic health center at the Women’s Institute of the Boca Regional Hospital in Florida if I need something that can’t be handled by a phone call to you.

I sincerely hope that by the time that I get back in the spring, there will be a similar pelvic health center right here in Westchester. I cannot emphasize enough how necessary this is. Most women, even under the care of the most dedicated physicians, feel so alone with vaginal issues. We try to educate and help each other but that’s not really sufficient since there is such a wide range of issues at all ages.”

Attentive, respectful, thorough, thoughtful listener, Dr. Khadjehturian is a physician who is living her true calling, to not only care for the physical well being of others with the utmost proficiency, but with her spirit, to infuse in others a positive outlook for living a healthy life.

Dear Rachele,

I cannot thank you enough for helping me get through this phase in my life! As you know, it’s been very challenging for me to deal with all the symptoms of menopause, and you have been instrumental in alleviating the discomfort I have experienced! The hormone therapy is working wonders for me, and I feel better than I have in a very long time. The testosterone, progesterone, and oxytocin have made a huge difference in every aspect of my daily life!

I am truly grateful to you for introducing me to all the options that I never would have sought, were it not for the information you have shared with me! You have educated me in every option you have

offered, including supplements that have worked in conjunction with the hormone therapy.

Once again, thank you for helping me to get some normalcy back in my life! I will be forever grateful!

Sincerely,
— Lisa

Good Morning Pam,

Please see the compliment for NP Khadjehturian below:

“From the moment I met her, she was absolutely sweet. She is wonderful, she explains everything in detail, and is down to earth. I had been suffering with a medical condition for years without any relief but the moment she performed the procedure, I have not had any issues. She was absolutely phenomenal throughout the entire procedure and she made me feel comfortable. I just cannot say enough about her; she is relatable and I just want to commend her or being a wonderful person and being the one to completely take this pain away that I have been dealing with for years. She has been extremely helpful and she continues to go above and beyond for her patients. I just want her to know how grateful I really am.”

Cudos NP Khadjehturian! Thank you for everything you do.

Thank you,
— Amber

— John Whalen, RN

Prior to my recent retirement as a nurse practitioner in obstetrics and gynecology, I had the privilege of working with Rachele for several years. We practiced in a large multispecialty group which is not always conducive to personalized care. Many women had more complex health issues and Rachele was my “Go to” for a second opinion. Rachele never failed to take that “extra” time though in obtaining a careful, in depth history. She will work with you to create your best plan of care.

Rachele’s compassion, expertise and enthusiasm are why I would recommend her with complete confidence.

There is a GRACE and HOPE residing in suite 205, in your Rye, NY offices. She goes by the name of RACHELE E KHADJEHTURIAN, F.N.P. Let me explain my perspective. 

After being treated for Urinary Tract Infections (UTI’s) in May 2019, June 2019, July 2019, and twice in September (2019), I found Rachele Khadjehturian. Before finding Rachele, in May, June, July, and September, I was treated with rounds of antibiotics, only for the bladder pain and dis-ease to return. I was running to Urgent Care and Westmed (when I could drive the 40 miles from South Salem, NY) to seek treatment. I am a 71 year old, otherwise, healthy woman, who began having UTI’s at the age of 17, and having them on and off in my adult life (once a year or so). I was well acquainted with the pain of a UTI’s, and felt the 2019 diagnosis was correct, but the syndrome snowballed. However, my urine cultures came back negative. Red flag. Possibly NOT a UTI… 

Por unos cuantos meses estaba sufriendo de incontinencia urinaria, los orines se filtraban de una manera que yo no podía controlar, ocurría cuando estornudabas, me reía, hacía ejercicio o simplemente se goteaban sin hacer ningún esfuerzo, era una situación muy difícil, me sentía sucia e insegura y siempre andaba con toallitas sanitarias en mi cartera para cambiármela regularmente porque sentía que las personas podían olor la orina a través de mi ropa; no encontraba manera de resolver ese problema hasta que decidí ir al Doctor urólogo.

El día que visite a la Doctora: RACHELE E. KHADJEHTURIAN estaba muy contenta porque instalamos una buena conversación y conexión y me explico las posibles causa de este problema y empezó a restringirme y quitarme ciertos hábitos alimenticios, al mismo tiempo me enseñaba el ejercio clave para ayudar a fortalecer los músculos alrededor de la vejiga, me puso un tiempo de 3 semanas para hacer estas recomendaciones. De verdad que no estaba muy contenta con la esta visita médica, pues yo fui a buscar una medicina para este mal y ella solo me dio concejos y recomendaciones, pero aún así me sometí con disciplina a sus recomendaciones e increíblemente Justo a las 3 semana en mi segunda visita ya este problema casi había desaparecido y estaba muy emociona decíendole lo mucho que me había ayudado sus consejos. Jamas pensé que ciertos cambios en mi estilo de vida y alimentación podían hacer tanta diferencia.
