About Dr. Kapelow

Dr. Rachel Kapelow is a native New Yorker who completed most of her education in the Big Apple. After an internal medicine residency at Jacobi Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, she completed her rheumatology fellowship at Hofstra University at Northwell Health.

During her training, Dr. Kapelow authored many peer-reviewed articles, specifically in topics related to autoimmune conditions and inflammatory arthritis. She has extensive research experience in evaluating the efficacy of ultrasound-guided injections and preventing osteoporosis fractures. Dr. Kapelow is an advocate for her patients, helping them navigate through the most challenging illnesses. She is grateful for the myriad of state-of-the-art treatment options available to help her patients get back to leading productive lives. 

Growing up in New York City, Dr. Kapelow enjoyed visiting local galleries and museums. Painting is a fantastic outlet for her to unleash her creative side. As a professionally trained ballroom dancer, she understands how arthritis can affect a person’s life and is dedicated to improving her patients’ day-to-day living. 

Leaving the blistering winters behind, Dr. Kapelow, her husband, and their two sons are soaking up the beautiful South Florida weather and local activities.
