Reviews
Very efficient office, great care from Dr. Akerman.
I had two procedures done with Dr Ackerman that were expertly handled from the initial office visit to scheduling to the execution of the procedures and follow-up. Dr Ackerman is an excellent doctor and shows genuine care for his patients. His staff is professional and the DHAT Surgery Center is excellent.
Great communication and information. Very friendly and congenial doctor. He did an excellent job explaining my situation with my colonoscopy. He did the procedure in a professional and confident manner. And, I would recommend him to anyone needing his services.
Extremely professional and welcoming experience with Doctor Ackerman, highly recommend him.
Dr. Ackerman and his staff took great care of me during my colonoscopy/endoscopy. Everything went smoothly, and Dr. Ackerman was very informative and professional.
