There is hardly any waiting time when I go to see Dr Achecar. He is polite, listens to his patient and makes a decision to solve whatever problem the patient is having. Very professional too

I had an issue (problem) and got an appointment the next morning. The wait time was minimal, Dr. Achecar was prompt, kind, gentle, and helped greatly. The entire staff is very helpful and cheerful. It is nice to have the feeling at a medical office that you are welcome and they truly want to help.

Dr. Achecar is a wonderful doctor! He truly cares about his patients and their well-being. I highly appreciate and respect him. He is professional and at the same time down-to-earth. You can't ask for anything better than that!! I recommend Dr. Achecar to everyone and will continue to do so. I'm blessed that he is one of my doctors at Resurgens.☺️
