Achrekar Abinash P MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Achrekar for over 5 years. I trust him completely and feel he is very competent, knowledgable, caring and empathetic in his approach to my care. He takes his time to listen to me. I don't feel rushed. In fact I feel vey heard by his attentive listening. I think he is one of the more skillful doctors I have ever had and is one of the best of the UNM Hospital staff. I myself was a nurse in NYC for many years, have had many doctors and feel I possess a keen sense of what makes for a "good" doctor and he certainly, in my opinion, meets that criteria. I would (and have) highly recommend him to anyone.

Terrible experience. I will never see this doctor. As a medical professional myself, I don't trust him. At UNM Sandoval Cardiology clinic, their blood pressure machines are at least 20-25 years old.Totally outdated and inaccurate. There is a wall Manuel B/P, cuff that leaks air and no Manuel Large adult cuff. The doctor, states he can tell high blood pressure by taking a pulse, never heard of this in 47 years of training. Doctor, gave wrong diagnosis. Doctor, examine me with a cheap, probably $10-20 stethoscope. I have never seen a Cardiologist, with anything, less than a Littmann Cardiology or a Master Cardiology. I have both. I would not recommend. I see why they recently fired over 50 administrators, including CEO.
