I was referred to Dr Achecar for a total knee replacement and he was great and his staff was as well I’m still recovering and it has been the hardest part of Mr experience but I would tell anyone that he was a great surgeon.

Dr Achecar was quick and straight to the point, came in with my knee jacked Up, couldn’t walk whatsoever without the need for crutches. He took a Quick Look, hooked me up with a brace, and only recommended an MRI for future reference if I don’t see any improvement. The previous Tuesday is when I messed up my knee, was on crutches up until Thursday when I got the brace put on. Since my visit with Dr achecar, I’ve been able to walk comfortable with significant signs of improvement over the past few days, and I am comfortable in saying that I’m ready to start back working tomorrow.
