Reviews
I had a very good experience. Everyone in the office was very nice and explained the whole procedure and let me know what to expect. When I went for my procedure the staff was very nice also. They explained everything as we went along, made me feel comfortable about the procedure. Overall it was a great experience. I would definitely refer family and friends to Dr. Akerman and his office.
OMG !! what a Doctor .. all the way the Best of all. caring and very Humble. explain all in details and takes care of me so much. i am so grateful i have him as a my GI doctor !
Dr. Ackerman and his staff were so accommodating and helpful during my procedure. I highly encourage everyone that needs to get there checkups done go and see them.
Dr. Akerman and his staff are just amazing. They care about their patients and more importantly they listen to you. He will develop a treatment plan based off your medical history, discuss it with you and if you have concerns about it he takes the time to address those concern's. A lot of medical professionals will dismiss your concerns or change treatment plans without discussing with a patient. Dr. Akerman doesn’t operate that away. He has a rare trait of compassion and empathy.
Dr Akerman and Dr Eidem are fantastic over at DHAT. From the first scheduling appointment call (Letty is amazing) to being walked out to the car post-procedure, the entire staff is first class all the way.
