Dr. Ackerman and Bri have taken such good care of me pre- op and post-op for my wrist. They listen to you and hear what you say without judgement or predetermination. I highly recommend this team!
Great explanations took his time to tell me what th e problem was
Dr Ackerman presents as a caring, skilled professional.
Even though I'm deaf he didn't mind explaining everything to me. He knew exactly what I needed, the injection has helped me a lot. I still have pain but not like before.
Pleasant to speak with.
