I was in the Hospital , seen by both Ackerman & Axel before I was released I was told to schedule an appt to come in . The woman who answers the phone is extremely rude says they don't take our insurance . So now I'm trying to find a Dr who knows what's going on .The Doctor themselves are great but their staff is horrible

Poor When you call the line hangs up. When you talk to Dr Ackerman he is busy trying to talk into his recorder. And when he does talk to you he talks so fast you can't understand what he is saying. He barely allows you to ask questions. His office is a disappointment He just doesn't have time for you.
