I was in excruciating left hip pain all day every day. Couldn’t sleep at night because of pain, for over a year. I had a total left hip replacement, done by Dr. Freddy Achecar. When I woke up from surgery, I did not have any pain. I am 6 weeks post surgery and I have not had any pain. I have stiffness and soreness, but zero pain. I praise God for healing me and I give honor to Dr. Achecar for being an awesome amazing surgeon. All of the pre surgery care and instructions, all of the post care and instructions. This surgeon has fine tuned the hip replacement surgery and excellent individual patient care. I would recommend Dr. Freddy Achecar to any one who needs hip replacement surgery. I would rate him and his team 10 out of 10. May God continue to bless his practice.

After struggling with knee pain for 7 weeks, I called Dr. Achecar on the advice of my father. They got me in right away and took wonderful care of me. He was very thorough in his exam and even pointed out the swelling in my knee that I myself couldn’t see. He explained all my options. Only 1 day later and I’m already doing much better. I highly recommend.

I felt that Dr. Achecar listened to my concerns and suggested options to help that did not rush to surgery. What a refreshing change from surgeons who see only one solution to a problem.

Wonderful experience, I was taken back for X-rays prior to my scheduled appointment time and barely had to wait to be seen by the doctor!
