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.

Left hamstring and hip injury
He was very caring and compassionate and made sure he explained what was going on in a way i could understand. He had a plan for recovery and when i could return to sports. He also offered options i could try to help healing. He didn’t make me feel rushed and he made sure any questions i had he answered.

A Doctor Who Cares
Finding a doctor who is prompt, professional, takes this time with patients, and has a relaxed and friendly bedside manner can be a rare find. Dr. Acker provides all the above. From a pre-surgical visit, to a surgery, and post-op appointments, my daughter always received a high level of care, attention, and professionalism from Dr. Acker.

Amazing experience!
Dr. Acker got me in immediately to see my son after a football injury. He quickly diagnosed and provided treatment. My son said he was immediately feeling better and reassured. He even provided a back up plan if my son doesn't improve.Overall I was very pleased with this experience. Staff is friendly, and Dr. Acker is very compassionate, personable, and clearly knowledgeable.And he is an orthopedic surgeon for the Detroit Lions!I will not hesitate to send others to see him before anyone else.

Awesome surgeon
Dr. Acker comes in with a smile on his face every time. He makes you feel at ease and looks you in the eyes when asking or answering a question or explaining. My surgery has been exactly as he's said. I would totally recommend Dr. Acker to anyone. He's definitely one of a kind.

Very helpful
Dr Acker went out of his way to help me with my knee injury working with another doctor who was performing a surgery for me the next day. He got me treatment that wouldn’t interfere with the surgery and still has me feeling better for my family vacation.
