Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Achinger is fine as a general practice physician. He is not very helpful re: kidney issues and does not appear "proactive" in saving a failing kidney, offers little about diet, etc. He has low eye contact and focuses more on paperwork than the patient in front of him. Nice guy, just doesn't seem to impart knowledge well. Prefers you go to Urgent Care for immediate issues than get in to see him.

I have had Dr. S. Achinger as my primary care physician for several years and it's been perfect. He is friendly, helpful, understanding, listens; in short, everything you want in a doctor. I had my family moved over to seeing him because of my experience.
