Reviews
Dr. Akerman is great! Knowledgeable, understanding, kind, fun, personable…he’s the best!
I had a great experience with Dr. Akerman! He is super friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. He explained everything to me and calmed me down as this was my 1st time having a colonoscopy. Everyone in his office is fantastic and helpful as well.
I have been a patient of Dr Akerman for about 7 years and have referred many patients to him. He is thorough, kind and patient and I trust him implicitly! His office staff holds the same high standards and is always helpful. I live in Aubrey and hate to drive, but I would drive to Houston if I had to!!
After being passed around from Dr to Dr for years with the same mysterious symptoms, Dr. Ackerman finally has given me some answers! I am so thankful to have been referred to him. His nurses and the staff are always so helpful and friendly! I wish I had been referred to him sooner!
Dr. Akerman was fantastic. He explained everything well & had a great bedside manner.
