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.

I have been going to Doctor Paul Ackerman for 7 years. He has been a miracle worker. He operated on both my knees. I've never felt better. I would recommend him to anyone that is in need of a great orthopedic surgeon. He even went so far as to call me to make sure that I was doing well after my surgeries.

ONE OF THE GREATEST DOCTORS I'VE EVER MET AND HAD BEEN TREATED, some time ago I had a major back injury and I didn't know the truth because this is such a serious matter but then I met dr. Akrami one of the greatest surgeons I had a chance to meet literally saved my back literally put me back into one piece I can play sports I can do anything that a normal human being that 21 year old kid can do all thanks to dr. Ackerman. A man of honesty, detication, hard work, and charisma.
