Reviews
Dr Akerman is very confident, maybe a bit arrogant, but I want a physician to be 'that person'. The bedside manner could be softer, but at the same time, he's clearly competent and provides me with a sense of security & safety. At the end of the day, that's what matters! Recommend him & his staff to anyone seeking a highly skilled gastro doc.
I was so nervous getting my first colonoscopy, but Dr. Ackerman and his entire team were so kind from the time I checked in. They reassured me and made me feel comfortable up to the time of my procedure that it will be ok and fast. I was very happy when I woke up and realized it wasn’t a scary procedure at all.
Dr Akerman was very friendly and informative. He has great patience care and would recommend to anyone who needs a good Gastroenterologist!
Every step of the process is handled with precision, and more importantly, with care. This staff understands their assignment and upholds the Doctor’s vision. You’ll be happy you chose Dr. Akerman and his staff to handle your medical needs.
Dr Akerman's team patiently answered my husband's many anxious questions on multiple phone calls. Dr Akerman himself is pretty amazing, and made my husband very comfortable and at ease (which is saying something! LOL) Dr Akerman goes to the top of the referral list for us, he's that good!
