I first brought my daughter to Dr. Bechtel a year ago. That visit I was floored by our entire experience but but really stood out was his ability to connect with kids. My daughter at that visit was so nervous and scared her stomach was sick... Within literally not even 2 minutes of him interacting with her she was laughing and talking and he even let her dilate her pupils which is a really big deal since her last doctor gave her a really negative feeling about eye doctors over the same procedure. Fast forward to today.... My experience and opinion of this doctor remains solid as the first time we've seen him. I cannot put into words just what an amazing doctor he is.
