“Dr. Dorcas is wonderful! She is our go to for my WHOLE family. Recently I finally set my son up for an appointment, and let me tell you… my son doesn’t open up to hardly any people, especially not doctors! But, Dr.Dorcas is one of those few people he will talk to. Thank goodness!! She just has a way with people. She listens to him, guides him, makes him feel comfortable, opens up to her, and he’s actually relaxed with her! Ms.Dorcas is just all around a wonderful doctor! I’d give 1000 stars if I could!! I’d definitely give Dr.Dorcas a chance, it won’t be a waste of time, I promise. My name and My word means everything to me… So, when I recommend something/someone it means it’s/they’re great! ??????”

“Ms.Dorcas is the Best DOC! Her energy makes u comfy allowing u to easily open up. Very knowledgeable! Doesnt speak in Dr form & leave u confused. You will leave w/ clarity! Shares her tips & tricks! I wish she was closer & could be my fam. PCP. I wouldnt dread going to Dr office. TBH shes basically our PCP. She knows more about us, whats going on w/ our health, more comfy & open, usually the 1st to know whats going on after seeing another Dr. & Most importantly she makes u a priority! My carded pcp, I wait over a month to see him after leaving the HOSPITAL. Ms.Dorcas Im seen the NEXT DAY! Ive learned so much & Im treated w/ more respect than any other Dr. Lets not forget her staff, The TEAM is F’ING AMAZING! They deserve infinity stars! My fam is so grateful for coming across her, the opportunity to have as Dr, & we appreciate EVERYTHING! Ur wonderful person. My hubby is on the spectrum. He is completely open & he chooses her 1st

Great job ????
April 17, 2024Jason C.Verified patientVideo visit
This is a great doctor. I can always count on her if my pcp is out for some reason or I come up with an emergency and there is no appointments available for my doctor. If she was closer I would 100% make her my PCP!! She is very nice, helpful, caring, and it shows in her work and how she treats the patient! Me and my hubby both book her and only her on ZocDoc! I 1,000% recommend. Also if u happen to forget or ur sick and fall asleep they will call ur phone to say it’s time for ur appointment! They’re wonderful.

I was running 30 mins late because I forgot about the appointment and she still waited on me patiently. When I finally arrived she didn’t even rush the appointment, she listened to my needs and assisted me with no hesitation . ????

My visit was very pleasant, see made me feel at ease. After a few minutes with her we connected very well, she u derstood what I was feeling, she listened well.
I wanted to cancel because I was feeling so bad BUT I was glad that I did not. She offered helpful information, I also could see that she was very experienced in this field. Thank you so Zocdoc for your help in finding the right doctor.

Where do i start? This lady was nothing short but amazing. First of all, great conversation and great laughs. My appointment went very smooth. Wait time was on point and on time. She took her time to listen to me and communicated very well. If i could rate her a 100/10 i would! I highly recommend this office. She cares very deeply about her patients. She asked me some questions related to the problem i was seen for and were able to take things to the next step. . Thank you Mrs.Dorcas Acheampong, NP. You have a patient for life. It was a pleasure having your care today.

February 10, 2024Deborah S.Verified patientVideo visit
Definitely a doctor that I would see again. She was very thorough and asked all the right questions about my health, and listened to all of my concerns regarding my symptoms. 10/10
February 10, 2024Natalie W.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr Acheampong was amazing! I have been dealing with health issues the last 6 months and really could not get no one to listen to me or I have to wait for appointments for a couple months. She took me the same day for an appointment and now I am on the road to getting better and have started medication to see how it does and if it helps, and to me that is progress, considering no one would help me before my fiancée found her. I highly recommend her as my physician.
February 8, 2024Nichole S.Verified patientVideo visit
Ms. Dorcas was able to see me a few minutes earlier than my appointment which never happens with doctors. Normally I wait at least 15-30 minutes before I’m seen. So I appreciate her being punctual and respecting my time. She listened to all my concerns and has been helping me get my medication covered by my insurance. I recommend!
