“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! ??????”

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.

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.

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
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.
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!
