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.

Arrogant
Consultation, quickly said nothing be could do. Asked about facial injections, told me others there that done those & walked out. Rude to put it mildly & he charges for Consultation.

Biggest regret of my life.
It has been several years since my abdominoplasty and I am still unhappy. I have been left deformed, and even when I brought this up to Dr. Aker and his team I was dismissed and treated poorly. I actually had to have a different surgeon remove NECROTIC tissue that I was told by Dr. Aker was only scar tissue that would dissolve w/massage! Total waste of money, poor results and creepy touchy feely habits ensure I would never recommend this facility.

Dr Aker has superior stitching skills. He is a kind gentleman and treats you no differently before or after your procedure like some plastic surgeons do. He’s a great guy to have on your team in recovery.

Dr. Aker was amazing!! What kind physician and staff, he met my wife after a long day of surgery to repair a large area of tissue that had to be excised due to basal cell carcinoma. He and his staff went above and beyond and made my wifes experience an amazing one. Dont look any further,we both are so appreciative!

I have met with many surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Aker. He is extremely caring, patient, honest and not the kind of doctor that just wants to perform a surgery on you. He wants to help you reach the best version of yourself! If that involves disagreeing with you, he will do so. I am so glad I trusted him and his staff, one of the best thing I have ever done for myself!

his staff of pretentious yet unaccomplished women, Aly Boschert and Loretta Lungren Vestermark, were deceitful and abusive, and Dr. Aker allowed it. I would not willingly deal with ppl like this ever again
