Excellent bed side manner, honest and thorough, everything you want in a medical professional.
Listened to what I had to say and took that into consideration.
He was a great physician who took the time to explain what was happening with my ankle.
Quick and efficient appointment once with Dr. Acevedo.
I do not feel Dr Acevedo listened to me today. I was truthful with my answers and told him I was in intense pain. He always seems to be in a rush to leave the office yet my appointment was 45 minutes late. He said on my last visit I needed surgery yet it doesn't seem to be important even though I can't even walk some days. Physical therapy seems to be more important. But I feel if he had taken the time to listen to me he would have known I do all those exercises multiple times daily at home as well as in bed at night trying to exercise this foot to improve it but he didn't allow me to tell him any of that. Disappointed in today's appointment.
Very kind and patient
Easy to get along with. Gave me my options and informed my of what the next steps would be prior to surgery.
Very informative
Did his thing in a very professional way. I was in and out sooner than later.
I wish he would have explained a little more I don't have the money to get was hewants me to get so this is going to take longer I don't have money I need something I can get with my insurance
