First impression. His interpersonal skills still need to be developed. That said, we muddled through and came up with a solution to my problem. I was happy that the wait was not long at all.
He’s very attentive.
He knew what he was doing and very understanding about the ordeal. Made major improvements and have great bedside manners. Good doctor to visit! I will certainly recommend if there is a chance.
Wonderful!!!

Polite, thorough.

This review is based off of one visit only. Dr. Ackerman was kind, thorough and personable. He explained everything very clearly during my examination and procedure. He maintained eye contact throughout the appointment, which I appreciate during communicating. He also asked my opinion. Not many physicians do that. I hope to continue seeing him for my medical needs and feel confident in his abilities.
Personable and explained everything real well
Liked his personality, explained everything well for me as he took time to answer my questions & in general just an overall good experience.
