All great!
Dr. Bechtel fit me in to see him the day after my call to his office as he recognizes the level of pain with a flare-up of this condition. I am grateful for his concern.
Good.
Always caring and explaining my options.
Very professional. Called me by my name and was pleasant.
He was awesome! Super nice, concise, took care of my problem and helped me feel rrassured
Dr Bechtel is the best when it comes to a Dermatologist. He's excellent because he takes the extra steps in finding the exact cause of a problem, not just a remedy. He took the X-ray which gave him the reason behind the inching I was experiencing in my back area
Dr. Bechtel is one of the best doctors I have ever had....I would highly recommend.
Always first class.
Liked him very much and very personal.
