Every step of the process is handled with precision, and more importantly, with care. This staff understands their assignment and upholds the Doctor’s vision. You’ll be happy you chose Dr. Akerman and his staff to handle your medical needs.
Dr Akerman's team patiently answered my husband's many anxious questions on multiple phone calls. Dr Akerman himself is pretty amazing, and made my husband very comfortable and at ease (which is saying something! LOL) Dr Akerman goes to the top of the referral list for us, he's that good!
Dr Akerman is very confident, maybe a bit arrogant, but I want a physician to be 'that person'. The bedside manner could be softer, but at the same time, he's clearly competent and provides me with a sense of security & safety. At the end of the day, that's what matters! Recommend him & his staff to anyone seeking a highly skilled gastro doc.
Dr Akerman was very friendly and informative. He has great patience care and would recommend to anyone who needs a good Gastroenterologist!
As a physician myself I am acutely aware of the competency and efficiency of other medical practices. Dr Ackerman has a practice that provides the highest level of of care in a most patient centric manner. His professionalism, obvious care and concern for his patients is very much appreciated and stand out as exceptional. I recommend him as a GI specialist without reservation
I was so nervous getting my first colonoscopy, but Dr. Ackerman and his entire team were so kind from the time I checked in. They reassured me and made me feel comfortable up to the time of my procedure that it will be ok and fast. I was very happy when I woke up and realized it wasn’t a scary procedure at all.
After being passed around from Dr to Dr for years with the same mysterious symptoms, Dr. Ackerman finally has given me some answers! I am so thankful to have been referred to him. His nurses and the staff are always so helpful and friendly! I wish I had been referred to him sooner!
Dr. Akerman was fantastic. He explained everything well & had a great bedside manner.
I have been a patient of Dr Akerman for about 7 years and have referred many patients to him. He is thorough, kind and patient and I trust him implicitly!
His office staff holds the same high standards and is always helpful.
I live in Aubrey and hate to drive, but I would drive to Houston if I had to!!

Dr. Stuart Akerman and his staff are among the finest I have encountered. They are professional, friendly, and have exceptional expertise. When I have called with a question, the response is prompt.
I had a great experience with Dr. Akerman! He is super friendly and makes you feel so comfortable. He explained everything to me and calmed me down as this was my 1st time having a colonoscopy. Everyone in his office is fantastic and helpful as well.
Dr. Akerman and his staff are excellent in their care.
Great experience, great people

Dr. Akerman is great
Highly recommend him.
Highly recommend him.
Dr. Akerman has worked closely with me on a number of procedures to determine the cause of my ongoing symptoms. He has been detailed and quick to move forward as we obtained new info. Dr. Akerman was able to determine I had a malignant tumor of my Liver and immediately referred me to the appropriate Care Team to address this serious matter. Thanks to Dr. Akerman we caught this problem in its early stage and I now have an abundance of optimism that I can be cured. Dr. Akerman has truly provided life-changing healthcare for me and I am clearly blessed to have him as my Doctor.
I found everyone in the practice to be very caring and they had no problems taking as much time as necessary to address any concerns I had. Dr. Akerman himself took great care of me and I would highly recommend him.
I have been seeing Dr Akerman ever since I moved to Dallas. In my opinion he is one of the best out there. His beside manners and his ability to explain symptoms and diagnosis in layman’s terms in amazing. I would highly recommend him and his entire staff.
Dr Ackerman was efficient in getting my procedure done.
