Dr. Rachael Compeau received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at the University of Michigan Flint in 2006. After graduating nursing school and becoming a Registered Nurse, she worked in the Intensive Care Unit at McLaren Flint for 18 months and then transferred to the Operating Room where she practiced as a circulating and scrub nurse for 8 years. She obtained her Registered Nurse First Assist (RNFA) certification through NIFA and Certified Nurse of the Operating Room (CNOR) after 2 years in the operating room. She first assisted in numerous services including, urology, general, gynecology, oncology, vascular, neurology, plastics and also became proficient using the da Vinci robot. During that time, she became a Certified RNFA. After first assisting for 4 years, she made the decision to broaden her scope of practice by going back to school to become a nurse practitioner.

After she completed her DNP, she worked in orthopedics for a short time then settled into a family practice position at the Genesee Community Health Center serving the underserved population in Flint, Michigan.  After being there for just under 2 years, she realized that her heart belonged in surgery. She joined Comprehensive Urology with Dr. Sabry Mansour in April 2019.
