Capital Surgeons Group

I had a great experience with Dr. Acheson and Capital Surgeons Group. I was referred to him for gallbladder removal by my ER doctor @ St. David’s North. When I called, I managed to get an appointment in the same week.
Dr. Acheson is a friendly, down to earth guy who instantly made me feel at ease when he walked in the room. He explained my surgery and situation thoroughly, and eased any nerves I might have had about the procedure. After I talked with him, he got me set up with a surgery date just a week out, and everyone in his office is friendly, professional, and answered all my questions. It was just a really smooth process, start to finish.
On the day of surgery, Dr. Acheson came in and chatted with us beforehand and let me know what to expect. When it was over, he came and talked to my mom and boyfriend and let them know how everything went. It was a slightly challenging surgery because of the state my gallbladder was in, but I healed up super fast, without a single complication.
I’ve mentioned him to my PCP and a few others in the medical field, and all of them have known his name, and Capital Surgeons Group, and have commented at how good they are, so I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

I went to go see Dr. Acheson for the second time because a Incompitant Dr. Just told me that he would not do a barium on me even though I could not breath, severe pain in my shoulder blades, ectttt. He said if the surgeon tells me to do the tests then I might.
I could see he was in a bad mood and told me that my diatasis recti would NEVER go away and did not care I was throwing up 100 or more times a day. The fact that I had a hiatal hernia, umbilical hernia, esophageal tears, strictures, achalasia, Ishemia (dead colon) ectttt. I could not breath without pain.
I asked him if he could reccomend a good surgeon who was good at the Heller surgery and the receptionist called me back and told me that he did not reccomend that I have surgery.
I found it disturbing that when I called to make appointment the receptionist said it would be 500.00 and that it did not cover insurance. She said since I had a bariatric surgery for my diatais, I had to see him for that. I told her that I was already a patient of his and had seen him and another doctor for abdominal pain, chest pain prior to the surgery.
After I switched doctors and did some tests the receptionist told me to go and wave the results in their faces and say «Wake up «
I could have died if I would of not continued to seek out others doctors. and since they call each other and gossip it makes it harder to find a reputable doctors.
The Gastrologist kept telling my husband it was my gallbladder, and I am disappointed the surgeon could not reccomend a good surgeon. I had to leave the state to finally find a well rounded mature doctor. I went to the #1 hospital Mayo .
I did not ask him if I should have the surgery I asked him if he could reccomend a good surgeon. He did not even know what was wrong, but I am glad I left these arrogant doctors behind. The doctors also told me to go to the surgeon to do Biopsies and he would not even do that. I get the run around a lot and it seems as though I wil be reying on Unilocal for now on because the doctors I have been seeing are getting low reviews on Unilocal.
After My surgery I am more disgusted in how these doctors dont give a dam about their patients, I would have had repspect it he would of just refunded my money, but I think he wanted that 500.00 just to walk in his door only to be told not to have the surgery.
The trouble is getting doctors to do the appropraite tests and finding a doctor who will find out the CORRECT DIAGNOSIS. I guess he did not want to fix 2 of my hernias, biopsy 4 liver cysts, Did not want to do a Heller surgery and so on. The first time he was pleasant, but the second time you could tell he was reading lies about me & became very judgmental asking me questions as if I was on a witness stand. all it takes is 1 ABUSIVE doctor who physically & mentally abused me to start writing lies, I am upset I never reported all the times they misdoagnosed me, missed fractures & so many things because a perfectly normal great guy like acheson reads your files, then assumes they are the truth & then treats you unfair like the rest. I am thankful I had witnesses with me & other patients who gave me their phone numbers to tell me they heard & saw what happened with prior doctors. Dr. acheson was a great guy the first visit & I am sure he still is. I would trust him to do surgery on me. But thankful I found a great surgeon at the Mayo Hospital.
