I have had several surgeries in the past and recently had knee replacement surgery. Dr Todd Ackal was the anesthesiologist. He is absolutely the best anesthesiologist I have ever met. He was very knowledgeable, caring, and I had no side effects or problems. Great bed side personality and explained everything completely. I felt very relaxed and confident after talking to Dr Ackal.

I love my dad. I think that he is an amazing Dr. I haven't had him as my doctor yet but I think that he love his job and makes sure every patient is good before and after the procedure.

Dr Todd Ackal did my anesthesia for a surgery and he was truly one of the most caring, compassionate Dr's I have ever had to use for anesthesia. He was very genuine and would highly recommend him.

Dr. Ackal was awesome. Great bedside manner, friendly smile, and easy to have a conversation with. He made me feel at ease before my procedure. He was great! Definitely recommend him to anyone!

He is absolutely wonderful. He explained everything about the anesthesia process. I had a rough time during surgery (not his fault), so he checked on me SEVERAL times in recovery. He cares about his patient's fears and health.

When my daughter had a complication during outpatient surgery, Dr. Ackal was so concerned with her well being and keeping us informed.
