Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/21/2019, Dr. Bechtel has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Excellent.
I have been a patient of Dr. Bechtel's in the past as well as my (now adult) children. I am thrilled that he is back and would highly recommend him to anyone with a "derm" issue.
I showed up thinking I had an appt. Dr. Bechtel was kind enough to see me. He had treated other members o f my family so I was glad to see him.
Dr. Bechtel is the best! So glad he returned to Columbus!
Always very professional and friendly. Asks question and answers my concerns.
Dr. Bechtel is the absolute best! I have had melanoma and we have a family history of the disease. I took my children to Dr. Bechtel and would highly recommend him to anybody who asked. He has a very positive reputation in my friends circle as the "go to" person for dermatology problems. Everybody loves him!
Knowledgeable friendly efficient.
Has provided excellent care to me for many years.
It was my first visit. It took a long time to get the apt. The doctor seems very polite and nice. Nurse was fine as well. Receptionist were just OK. Will have to see if I go there again or not depending on my skin condition.
Always very professional, caring and willing to explain in depth care for problem.
