About Me

I'm Rachelle Gorrell, DO, a board-certified family medicine physician with Phelps Health. Additionally, I serve as the division chief of primary care. Since 2001, I have served patients in the St. James area.

My collaborating providers are Family Nurse Practitioners Chris Durbin, Sydney Fryer, Helen Litz, Ariella Martin, Megan McBride and Craig Tatom.

I chose family medicine as my specialty so that I could help families and people of all ages. I enjoy caring for different generations of families and getting to know everybody.

In seventh grade, my science teacher encouraged me to become a doctor. I initially wanted to become a teacher, and in many ways, I am, as I educate patients about their health.

I can help patients with diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease, and I also offer wellness visits. At Phelps Health, we can take care of most concerns that patients have, without sending them out of town.

My hope is that you, as a patient, feel that your health concern is addressed, but also that I treat you as a whole – from head to toe. I want you to feel comfortable talking about any problem.

I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.

Dr. Gorrell is an exceptional doctor. Her nurse and the staff at Forrest City Family practice were and are like family. I've been a patient there for over 20 years. Thank you.

The receptionist even helped me set up My Chart to be able to use this communication. Previously, I was not able to get it to work for me. I commend that spirit of helpfulness over and beyond duty, only. My heartfelt thanks!

I wish the vaccination process could have gone quicker. A nurse was teaching an MA how to give them so it took forever when I had already been there for about an hour. While I was there, the baby wanted to nurse. So I appreciate the time to do that while I talked to Dr Gorrell.

When registering for an appointment on the app it doesn't go through to the office. I feel like it's a waste of time if I have to answer all the questions again when I get to the appointment. Not sure what's happening.

Done well

I just really appreciate how efficient they are from taking phone calls to walking in for an appointment. You know, I could tell there were a lot of people there the other day, but there was hardly any wait time at all, and everybody just gets in and out smoothly. No one was upset. And, you know, I just really appreciate Dr. Gorrell and the nursing staff. The lab tech was great with me, and then one of the nurses in the back, I had to wait to do a urine sample because I was having trouble going to the bathroom, and they were just so patient with me. Just all around a great experience. Very lucky to have this provider. I moved to the area seven years ago and started going there because of my soon-to-be husband, and I could not be happier. She has seen me through some major surgeries with knee replacements.

It was nice to have just my doctor and me during this visit. Usually, there is a medical student present...which is fine. I love how Dr. Gorrell answers all my questions and concerns. She's stellar!

Dr. Gorrell has been my provider for 19 years. She listens to my concerns and takes the time to explain things in terms I can understand. She involves me in decisions about my care. I drive past the numerous clinics in Salem and Rolla simply because I trust Dr. Gorrell and her staff.
