I am definitely recommending Dr. A because the experience was so pleasant. Not only did he explain everything in detail but he also showed me pictures of a before and after look. In addition, he has amazing bedside manner.

The BEST Plastic Surgeon Around - Newport Beach, CA
Posted by sheiladk
He is truly the best (not the best bedside manner - long-term reputation - getting better though) but I'm not there to be treated like a friend, I'm there to get the absolute BEST results and Dr Ackerman is the one! He will get you in and out with to-the-point direction and advise. I've recommended 5 other people who've had procedures with Dr Ackerman who also swear by him.

He is an excellent and caring surgeon and I wanted the best I could find. I have total confidence in Dr. Ackerman's judgement and surgical skill. He has done several procedures on me and some of my friends, who have been very pleased with their results as well. I am happy to have found such a wonderful surgeon and would not consider anyone else for future needs.I feel that for my age, I look as young as I feel.

You won't be disappointed in Dr. Ackerman. After carefully choosing Dr. Ackerman after many other consultations, he exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this doctor. The moment I walked into his office I felt comfortable. The office staff is so professional and sweet. I was so nervous about the entire surgical process and the doctor and staff walked me through every step of the way! I am so happy I found Dr. Ackerman!
In Capable Hands - Newport Beach, CA

If you want a surgeon who is experienced, smart, up to date on the latest techniques, confident, & capable, then I would strongly advise choosing Dr. Ackerman. There are many cosmetic surgery "mills" out there, but I would not trust my most prized possession, my health, to them. If you want fluff, frills, small talk, & a “bargain”, then you should probably go elsewhere . But if you want someone who really knows what he is doing, gets to the point, answers all your questions, gives you a complete list of pros & cons, informs you of risks & benefits, & stands by you during the entire process, including healing & recovery, then Dr. Ackerman is the clear choice.
