Felt a little rushed but understand due to the amount of people in the waiting room.We'll see how all turns out with his theropy revcommendations
good Doctor
He is prompt and efficient. I Was in and out quickly.
Ok, good instruction to remedy calcaneal R heel spur. 3rd flare up this year. Conservative treatment- give it a month with exercises,heel lifts and medication.
I was referred by my podiatrist for surgery due to scheduling, Dr. Acevedo didn’t agree with surgery which I respected, however I don’t feel he took the time to explain the decision or additional diagnoses he found, I felt rushed and felt he was annoyed at my questions. I was hearing the additional diagnoses for the first time and had some questions regarding his recommendations. He let me know he was running behind. I just would have like the delivery to of been different maybe explaining a bit more, and allowing me to process the new information.
Exceptional! Was patient answering questions and concerns. I feel he truly cares.
He's very dismissive and rushed the appointment. He's Boastful about being an expert, lacking the ability to patiently hear the patient out. I've experienced so much better elsewhere.
Very polite, very patient to explain everything
Spent almost no time in the room with me. Barely looked at the foot. Put in my visit notes that fracture is displaced (it is not) and coded it like that incorrectly as well. Placed notes that we talked about things that were not ever discussed in our very brief visit, and my relative is a witness to that. Seemed to be in a rush to leave the room and did not even pull up the images to go over them with me until I asked.
Consulta, fue bueno
