Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor and Patient Experience
Dr. Ackert demonstrates a combination of deep knowledge, high skills and compassionate patient centric care. I recently went for my first routine colonoscopy screening and had a top-notch end-to-end experience from the date of first consultation thru completion of the procedure. All staff I interacted with were skilled and attentive.

One of the Best Doctors
Dr. Ackert is amazing. Kind and '5 star' bedside matter. Most doctors don't connect the dots on your holistic health. He is one of the few!! Went in for more of a 'gyn' type issue and he connected the dots for me. Grateful to Dr. Ackert and his team. He also performed a colonoscopy for me several years ago (2021) in the middle of the pandemic. I was petrified but it was a very smooth and even pleasant(!) experience. The staff put me at ease. Couldn't recommend more.

Dr. Ackert has been my gastroenterologist for about five years. He is a very rigorous, caring doctor, and has a much appreciated "old school" way about him. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ackert is one of the kindest, most caring doctors I've ever had! Aside from making me feel very comfortable, he was extremely accommodating and competent-- he squeezed me in and performed a last-minute endoscopy on me that same day. Very grateful and would highly recommend!
