Dr. Rachel Mepani comes from a long line of doctors and decided to follow in that family tradition. When it came time for her to choose her profession, she viewed medicine as the best way to help others.

She chose her specialty of Gastroenterology and Hepatology because the diseases encompassed within the field are fascinating to her.  She also enjoys the balance between performing procedures and seeing patients in the office and the hospital.

She finds that the most rewarding part of her job is making patients happy by helping to alleviate their symptoms and easing their worries. If Dr. Mepani were not a doctor, she might have been an accountant, as she majored in accounting at Ohio State University (where she fulfilled pre-med requirements as an undergraduate).

Outside of her medical practice, Dr. Mepani loves spending time with her husband of 20 years and 3 children. She volunteers at her children’s school and in the community. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, golfing, playing tennis and pickleball, swimming, and traveling.

“I feel very lucky to have found such a great work-life balance and a wonderful medical practice to be part of”, Dr. Mepani said.
