Listened to my concerns and answer all of my questions. Very friendly and very professional.
He was great. And very reassuring.
Dr. Ackerman has a great bedside manner. He explained my X-rays as he showed them to me. He talked about injections and a wrist brace and topical creams. I got an injection and also a wrist brace.
My experience was amazing. He is super polite. He advised me on what was going on from start to finish. He answered all my questions and made me feel that my recovery well be great. Also Bre, his assistant did a marvelous job in helping me.
Dr. Ackerman is an asset to Campbell Clinic Orthopaedics. I was well pleased with my carpal tunnel surgery. His bedside manner of compassion and being easy to talk to was an added bonus. I would also like to commend the staff that works with him for their professionalism and friendliness. I would give a rating of more than five stars if I could.
Very friendly. Explained my issues and offered different options.
After first 5 minutes with Dr. Ackerman I found my favorite Ortho surgeon since Dr. Benjamin Mauck' passed away. Dr. Ackerman listened and allowed me to try and sum up what has happened over 12 years with Campbell Clinic being treated for this particular issue. He took his time to give his thoughts and opinions of how I should proceed. I was sent to him after my last doctor here relocated two months ago. Dr. a asked if I wanted to see that previous doctor again since he apparently was actually coming back to the clinic. Dr. Ackerman's bedside maanner, calm tone, and naturally friendly atti immediately trust him and follow up in whatever way he suggests.in over 50 years he is the second healthcare professional who made thiis type of impression on me. Being a healthcare professional myself I appreciate when I find anyone who seems to be out for the patients best interest and making them feel comfortable and relaxed to help them in the best professional manner. Thank you Campbell Clinic.
He listens with real focus on your concerns, explains options has a kind "bedside" manner. He healed the problems with my right hand and wrist and I will go back to him for the other side this fall. Highly recommend!
As a person, his best side manner was awesome. I could hear the staff laughing, chitchatting, ha ha, and talking fun and having fun with all of us are down their way the most valuable thing you have is your time and so people need to take and understand that I don’t have all day to spend with you.
Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Great doctor.
