Rachelle Meaux, M.D.

"UPDATE and Reply to Dr. Meaux's reply: I was finally referred to an Endocrinologist after monitoring a lump in my throat. I have an upcoming consultation with an ENT to schedule surgery to remove a 4.6 cm mass (I have multiple) from my thyroid. My response to Dr. Meaux's reply would be to take a proactive approach in your care, like listening to your patients and being curious about our concerns regarding the bodies we are living in, rather than a reactive one like putting the responsibility back on the patient in the form of "you should have said something". Dr. Meaux was my first and only gynecologist from the year I turned 18 until the year I turned 38. I have always had a problematic cycle, to which I was always told that "that's just your cycle". I never questioned it until I got into my late 30s. The last time I went for my yearly check up I was having even more problems with my cycle and had gained a large amount of weight. My body temperature averaged around 96, and I had absolutely no energy or appetite. I brought these concerns to her attention, and inquired about an ablation for my cycle and possibly being referred to someone to look at my thyroid (I have a family history of thyroid issues). I thought that since she had been my doctor for 20 years that she could see the pattern and notice the weight gain and be willing to help. She was not. She told me that since I hadn't had children that she wouldn't consider an ablation, and that my cycle was just my cycle. The conversation ended there. Her solution to my questions about my weight, energy, and appetite was to give me samples of an appetite suppressant. I left devastated. I knew I would never go to her office or refer any woman, specifically those without children, to her. I have since found a new gynecologist who upon hearing my concerns at my first visit, performed and ultrasound and found polyps in my cervix and uterus. He scheduled a procedure and within a couple of weeks I was living a better life with a cycle that didn't control my life. Seems like if you aren't having children or looking for pills or procedures to alter your physical body then she's not the right doctor for you. I hadn't spoken about this until recently and was encouraged to leave a review."

"Dr. Meaux is a great doctor and a very caring person. She really takes the time to listen and address concerns. She did my surgery and I am now feeling better than I have in years."

"Wow! I was about to schedule an appointment here, but saw all the negative reviews and walk out. This doctor has a lot of personal issues that make her patients feel so neglected. I’m scared now!"

"I give Dr. Meaux 5 stars, she is amazing! She has been my doctor for years. She is professional and has years of expertise. She performed my laparoscopy and is an excellent surgeon !"

"Dr. Meaux is so kind and patient when explaining procedures and answering any questions you have. When I had my surgery I knew I was in excellent hands and felt so much better having her as my doctor!"
