    Dr. Ackerman did not take the time to explain anything. He rushed my physical, which took seven minutes, and he was not able to help. My blood work and urine analysis came in and he did not discuss any of that with me and I had questions and he did not answer anything. In the end, he referred me to another doctor in the practice and was rude.
