TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- Best doctor I ever had. Diagnosed with an auto immune disease that she knew right off. Had been to another Doctor and diagnosed wrong so ended up in hospital. Treats the whole person and is compassionate about what you are going thru. If you are looking for someone who gives a dam, she is the one. Dermatology is her specialty so go to the best.
- The best doctor I’ve ever been to. She genuinely cares not just about your Derm needs, but about you as a person. One time I left an appointment and about an hour later she called me because she had thought of an extra solution to the problem I came in about - I’ve never had another provider do anything close to that! She’s a delight to be around and I feel so lucky to have her as my Derm! Plus she’s just a wiz kid, no one is more knowledgeable and she’ll stick with you until a solution is found!
- I saw Dr. Ackerman for the first time today. There was a little bit of a wait in the schedule to see her, however, I quickly realized why. She is truly a Top Doc in the metro Phoenix area. Top to bottom was a very pleasurable and easy experience. Office was clean, front staff was very nice, overall very accommodating. My appointment started on time. Tiana was efficient and dialed in during the visit. Thank you Tiana! Dr. Ackerman has a fantastic bedside manner. And clinical acumen is unprecedented. She listened and wanted to help my underlying skin condition. Dr. Ackerman discussed several options including a Plan A and a Plan B if necessary. I knew I was in great hands. Looking forward to my four week follow up with the office. Thank you so much again for taking care of my needs.
