Dr. Van Acker has a well-organized schedule which makes your wait virtually non-existent. She is personable, efficient, yet takes time to examine you thoroughly & answer questions. I've been working with her on a persistent scalp issue and she has been consistently helpful and concerned about the best outcome.

The waiting for 4 months to see Dr Van Acker was very worth it. Her bedside manner is comforting. Even though I could sense she was very busy, she did a very thorough exam and was open for any questions I had. With a family history of melanoma and a personal history of cancer, she made sure I understand to call anytime if I need something checked. Her nurse Audra was very kind and professional.
