Overview

Philosophy of care

I really enjoy forming a long-term relationship with my patients, through all stages of life. I like to focus on personalizing each plan of care, whether for her pregnancy or for any gynecological issues. I enjoy discussing options so we can make decisions together.

Dr. Kurachi provides routine and high-risk obstetrical care including annual well-woman visits, office-based care and surgical procedures. She promotes and supports natural childbirth and has a special interest in minimally invasive gynecological surgical options.

Outside of work, Dr. Kurachi enjoys listening to and playing music, cooking, baking, hiking, traveling and spending time with family.

    It was extremely helpful to have the doctor draw my uterus & illustrate my condition & what the treatment would be. This was my first appointment with Dr. Kurachi & I feel great about having her as my new OBGYN doctor.

    I went in in a very vulnerable place having been struggling so much recently. I felt empathy fatigue from the provider and I dont think all my health concerns were considered when making recommendations for my health. I received a dm that seemed very judgey and not very receptive at all after my visit.

    Dr.Kurachi was very informative and helped explain my condition to me better. She drew pictures and gave me comparisons so I could comprehend the issues better.
