He is doing a Great Job !! For me !!
Very kind and professional. And he knew exactly what to do to alleviate my foot pain!
He is phenomenal! Explains everything I details that are easy to understand and follows up everything extremely well.His smile is incredible too ...
I was not satisfied with the less than 10 min. in; out quick assessment on the present condition my left compared to the MRI of JUN2023-2024, a stage 2 tear in ligament. What are names of the muscles; ligaments affected? I have had PT before with little to no improvements. He said I do not need surgery just therapy. He mentioned no meds for pain or how to manage swelling or how long it will take for the muscles; ligaments to heal? This was a 2 year ago left ankle injury MAR-APR2023
Buenisimo

Thorough, nice bedside manor.
Always a pleasure seeing Dr. Acevedo. Thanks for everything.
