More about Dr. Gerald Acker, MD
Dr. Gerald Acker is considered one of the leading professionals in the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. With over four decades of experience, Dr. Acker has performed hundreds of procedures throughout the world and is perhaps best known –and respected – locally for his artistic elegance, innovative techniques and personal approach.
For Dr. Acker, patient comfort and well-being have – and always will be – top priority. The Roslyn Heights-based surgeon prides himself on offering personal and unrushed attention and will meet with patients several times prior to a procedure in an effort to allay fears, answer questions and, most importantly, confirm that the procedure is the right decision.
The surgeon's unorthodox personalized approach is perhaps what led him to remain in private practice throughout his entire career. "I've had several surgeons want to join with me and while they were all very good doctors they all wanted volume practices and I didn't. I didn’t think they would be good enough," he said, admitting he was never a fan of high-volume practices. "I did not set out to make my living in medicine; I do it because I love it."
A Brooklyn native and current resident of Brookville, Dr. Acker graduated from Columbia University, fulfilled his internship at Johns Hopkins and served his general surgery residency at Mount Sinai before going on to specialize in plastic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania.
