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.
GREAT!!
Great experience! Love Dr. Bechtel!
Dr. Bechtel is fantastic!!
Everyone and Dr. Bechtel courteous & caring. Friendly and helpful as always.
I LOVE Dr. Bechtel. I was SO happy that he returned from Pennsylvania to resume his practice here. He is a caring, gentle, professional doctor.
Good.
Very detailed exam. I forgot to ask one specific question. I will submit it on My Chart.
Best dermatologist I have ever seen. Extremely knowledgeable and very good at explaining care plan & alternatives. Excellent communication skills.
Dr. Bechtel mentioned looking over my chart the night before. While I would hope this is standard procedure for all physicians, it was reassuring to hear it.
Again, good precautions for COVID & professional.
