Have been going to Dr. Acker for 5 decades. Have what I feel is a personal relationship and he has a serious history of everything that I have been through. Love his staff also. Great team. Please go somewhere else so I can continue to get the fantastic personal attention I get every time.

I have lived in 14 different cities during my adult years, and have not had a more caring doctor, than Dr Acker. He takes his time, and listens to me, as well as telling me what to do for healing! This country needs more like him!

Dr Acker has been my doctor for probably 50 yrs. He has never disappointed me. He takes a conservative approach which I appreciate. He maintains current medical standards.

Dr. Acker is one of the most skilled doctors I've known in diagnosis. He is exceptional in his field and he genuinely cares for his patients, though he can be quite direct.

I wish I could give Dr Acker 10 stars because he deserves them. He has been caring for me for 30 yrs with compassion, integrity, and excellence. His bedside manner is second to none and I will continue to see him until the sad day when he retires.
