Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very knowledgeable speaks with surety.

Today was the first time I met Dr. Acott, I felt very comfortable with his diagnosis and his plan to ending this pain on my right finger, I'm glad I was directed to him, he speaks very smart and caring and I can tell I'm not his first rodeo.

The Good Doctor
Dr. Acott answered my questions and is an expert with wrists and hands. While still healing from the recent surgery, I can tell I'll regain mobility based on current finger movements and strength. He has saved my career.

Carpal tunnel.
Dr. Acott was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, listened when I spoke and truly seemed to care. He diagnosed my problem and provided my options. He made me feel like he genuinely cared about me as well as my problem. After carefully administering an injection and then providing printed information regarding carpal tunnel, I experienced at least 75% relief. Can't wait to return and have him treat my other wrist. Great doctor - great person.

Awesome Doctor
Dr Acott took the time to explain in detail what was going on within my hand and finger 3 months post surgery. He stated therapy was needed to improve the stiffness of the finger. He actually really cares about my recovery process.

Very professional and well educated in his field.
He made a procedure that I consider to be painful as swift as precise as possible knocking down the level of pain by at least 40%, I am and will always be grateful and appreciative of his expertise.

Thorough, adaptive examination. He listens.
Dr. Acott is kind, professional, a great surgeon and doesn't jump quickly into solutions or promise unreal results. However my carpal tunnel and pronater surgeries have already improved my hand pain and strength 12 days out. Incisions are healing quickly. My partner will go to him this fall.
