I so appreciate Dr Acevedo's care and guidance in treatment. He excels in helping me understand my situation and treatment options. The PA's are awesome as well. I feel informed and listened to.
Dr. Acevedo was honest with me about my condition and the need for treatment, or in this case non-treatment. I appreciate his candor and his positive personality. I would recommend him.
My kind of guy. Office staff is super efficient with my time. (Bar is set low for medical offices in general to be fair). In and out in about a hour and 1/2. He is no nonsense and straight to the point while remaining personable and I like that.
Great doctor. Very thorough, complete, and professional. Staff all did a great job!
