My wife and I were beyond impressed by this physician. A consummate professional- patient, knowledgeable and with a great bedside manner.
His office operates efficiently and quickly without sacrificing service. Again, we were very, very fortunate to have found Dr. Akerman and feel great about our course of treatment under his care.

They really are nice and professional. My docking a star is based on the fact that I was seen 2 hours after my appointment time, being able to hear the client next to my rooms personal problems and the fact that do to "insurance billing" issues not allowing customers access to IUD's or Nexplanon until the resolve them. The doctor was fast at removing my iud and was able to get me samples on a different birth control to hold me over until I can get a new iud.

Dr. Akerman was really knowledgeable and incredibly informative/educational in regard to my particular issue. He made me feel very comfortable during my visit, and he has an easy personality and great sense of humor. Highly recommend him!
