5.0 star star star star starI live in Glenview Illinois and I drive to downtown Chicago to see Dr. Ackerman for my care and the care of my family. I was very fortunate to have found Dr. Ackerman and for him to accepted the role as my primary care physician. I would highly recommend him to everybody. He’s an excellent teacher and human being. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts about my care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ackermann is by far the best doctor I have ever encountered in my life. He is though, takes his time to explain in layman’s terms. Under his care, I feel safe knowing I am receiving the best care. He’s outstanding not only as a top notch physician, he genuinely cares about his patients.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ackermann was patient and very knowledgeable. He took time to answer all of my questions and did so in a very clear way. He even circled back to make sure I understood the information being provided, and offered extra information to help keep my family healthy. He appeared to be up on the latest research. He also gave clear explanations on why he made the recommendations he did, which is key for any relationship between a provider and patient.

5.0 star star star star starThere is not enough space for me to sing the praises of Dr. Ackermann. We love him. He is never in a hurry. He treats us with respect. We always feel great when we have had a session with him. We truly believe he is doing everything possible to keep my husband, Ervin Harris, on his feet. I wish I could get him for my Doctor. My husband was having some issues and was told he could see someone else. He said he wanted to wait for Dr. Ackermann.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ackermann is an amazing physician and one of the best in the city, if not the country overall. Dr. Ackermann provides a thorough examination with realistic goals and recommendations that are understandable at the patient level. Most importantly, Dr. Ackermann listens to me and allows me to explain my symptoms in a conversational manner. This allows me (the patient) to feel more at ease and open up about my/their symptoms. I would recommend Dr. Ackermann to any and everyone looking for a new primary care physician.
