This doctor literally saved my life by spotting a nevus that was nasally located. Turned out to be ocular melanoma a few years later. She has done cataract surgery on both my eyes and her work is flawless.

We have been a patient of Dr. Ackermann over 20 years. She has taken care of us, our children and now our grandchildren. My sister and her husband also are patients. She is very thorough and caught a serious problem with my sister when other doctors had it all wrong. We trust her more than any other and continue to recommend her. Are you looking for someone to feel comfortable with? Give a call to her office.

I have been going to see Dr Ackermann for more than 14 years. She spends time listening to your concerns. She's knowledgable, and just overall a good person. She cares about her patients. I have always gotten in right away and if she's not available the other Drs. are awesome too. Their office is really nice and you don't have to wait long. The staff is always courteous and friendly. They remember you and talk to you like you are family. I guess you can tell I highly recommend this group of physicians.
