Reviews
Dr. Akerman and his staff were amazing
Good job
Was worried about the procedure but Dr. Akerman and his staff was amazing, made my procedure smoothly as possible.
Thank you so much for always taking the time to speak with us and the care you provide. We are always grateful the personalize care you give.
Dr. Akerman’s office staff are caring and supportive. Letty has been extremely helpful with planning my procedures and answering my questions. Dr. Akerman is extremely personable, compassionate, understanding, kind, sweet and patient and he listens to every thing you have to say without interrupting. Before I could have my procedure my IV gave out and I had to get a new IV placed, I am a very hard stick. Dr. Akerman held my hand and I have never had a doctor hold my hand for an IV. Dr. Akerman stayed by my side while the nurses looked and started another IV. Dr. Akerman asked me if I had any requests to play music, and I have never been asked that question before. Dr. Akerman never made me feel like he was in a hurry, in fact it was just the opposite, he was so patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Akerman to my family and friends. Dr. Akerman is a wonderful doctor and I know that he will always take great care of me. Thank you Dr. Akerman for putting me at ease on the day of my procedure, your compassion didn’t go unnoticed.
