Eric M. Acheson's Online Review Report Card

I would recommend AVOIDING this surgeon! I went to this surgeon because I suspected that I had a hernia of the stomach (ventral hernia). Dr. Atcheson performed a "visual" exam only and recommended robotic arthroscopic surgery and surgery was scheduled and performed less than one week later. Dr. Atcheson never reviewed 2 previous recent CT scans of my stomach even though he had access to the hospital provided scans nor did he order or perform his own scan before performing the surgery to repair the ventral hernia. However, once he started the surgery, he discovered that there was no ventral hernia and he concluded the surgery. He has "no idea" what the lump in my stomach is caused by. In my opinion, this is the most most outrageous example of incompetence and unprofessionalism by a surgeon in my experience.

My wife died of gastric surgery, Dr Acheson shouldn't have performed this surgery, my wife had diabetes and a bad heart she also had cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Was hospitalized several times for heart failure at Seton Round Rock. I miss my wife😭

My wife died having gastric surgery to lose weight. She had many illnesses heart attack, heart failure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, sleep apnea, used oxygen daily, she was 68 years old, had the surgery on Monday and died on Wednesday she shouldn't have had this surgery at this age. Now, I'm stuck with all these bills and very lonely. I wouldn't recommend this surgery to my worse enemy.

My wife died of gastric surgery, lasted only 2 days after the surgery. She had many illnesses. Heart disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and other she was 68 yrs old, the hospital didn't check for leaks when discharged. I wouldn't recommend this surgery to my worse enemy

Dr. Acheson is my favorite of all my doctors! He is very intelligent and has always treated me with kindness, helpfulness, and always took time to answer all my questions. He is such an upbeat person, I knew from the very start that I had made the right decision to have the sleeve surgery. I never felt afraid because I knew I was in good hands. When I woke up after the surgery, I thought "this doctor didn't do any surgery". I only had a few little places on my stomach that were covered with little strips of tape. I felt really good and things just kept getting better for me. Since my surgery I have lost over 100 pounds, my diabetes is gone, and I threw away my cane and crutch. I have gone from a size 3x to an 8 in my clothes. I don't have to ride on the cart for cripple people in the stores. I feel like a new person, and I can walk faster than the rest of my family. I feel an enormous amount of gratitude to Dr. Acheson for changing my life. Thank you Dr. Acheson for all you have done for me. I know I have extra years in my life to take care of my family, especially since I now have a four month old grandson to take care of during the day while his parents both work. Oh, is he a blessing from God and a cutie!! I have been telling everyone that even acts like they want to get this surgery, do it, but have Dr. Eric Acheson as your doctor! Karen Ann Riley

Great visit! Dr. Acheson demonstrates his concern and explained everything. I look forward to my next visit!

Wonderful bedside manner! He operated on me and was very attentive and patient before surgery. After surgery also, very kind and attentive. Many thanks to him for great care!
