I don't feel like the Dr. has much empathy.

Dr.Jack Lee Ackerman is very thorough on my first visit in his office. He is neat, professional, attentive but most of all, he shows empathy and compassion. So far, my first visit I would say is above my expectation. I am comfortable with him.

A good and helpful experience
My mother in law is 85 years old and is showing signs of memory loss and is also showing signs of balance and muscle weakness. I felt that although the doctor did address these issues with her verbally, he wasn't commanding enough for her to agree to physical therapy nor did he send her instructions of exercises she can be doing at home.
pleasant staff and care provider
I like the concern he shows.

dr Jack Lee Ackerman, in my opinion is it outstanding doctor. He's extremely knowledgeable, very reassuring, and a great listener. He has that down to earth mid western style that is very refreshing to me. I also feel fortunate to have a doctor of osteopath he instead of just an M.D. because I believe he has been trained to take a more holistic perspective of the patients needs. I live over 20 miles away from the office, but it is very worthwhile to make the drive.

fortunately my health has been good with no special problems, simply route blood work and followup, thankfully.therefore not much input from doctor necessary

A very nice change from my previous care provider's practice
decided to alternate visits with kidney Doctor so I will see primary care doctor every 6 Mis instead of 3 or 4 months
My husband experienced a high fever and nausea that made Dr. Ackerman feel he needed to go to the ER at once. So both our appointments terminated at that point and he was taken to the ER at Good Samaritan hospital.

Very good doc!
First time / introduction only. Doctor could work on better eye contact. Shy? Looking at my chest more than my eyes. Seems nice enough but may lack confidence since he just started at this site?
Care Provider entered the room almost immediately after the nurse did her quick exam and entered information in the computer. I was greeted in a friendly, caring manner.
Excellent.
High marks for Dr. Ackerman across the board.
