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.

Thoughtful,compassionate and excellent listener!
Dr.A Always reviews previous visits, asks pointed questions- provides all Telehealth or in person visits with a game plan. Staff could not be more attentive. We need more like her!!

Things have changed - 15+ yrs with her
Staff and doctor seem more aloof with each passing year. Was disappointed with most recent annual checkup. Failed to check ears, throat. Wondering if entire practice has turned a corner professionally and heading towards burnout? Sadly, I'm looking for another practice. As people they are nice, and people do change, just not the same practice as it once was.

Emily is ALWAYS on top of her game, she covers all the basics. Emily's staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I'll stay with this office as long as I live in RI . If your lucky enough to get in her practice , you will love her.

Been going to her since she started, probably close to 15 yrs. Not the same, has great personality but felt brushed off for the last couple of years. Since Amy left the office is awful. I've left 2 messages and have never received a call back. I work in a doctors office, that is UNACCEPTABLE! Needless to say I will be leaving the practice. My sister also went to her for many years and had the same problems. And you are lucky if I call them 3 times in a year. Truly disappointing

Dr. Ackerman is a wonderful doctor. She is always kind and considerate. She explains things in details, and is open to listening to concerns and ideas of the patients. Her office is very nice and clean. She also has an amazing staff. My husband and I have been patients of hers for 6 years. We are very happy with Dr. Ackerman!

Harrisville, RI – Mar 04, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ackerman?
She insisted on check ups every 6 weeks to see how a medication was affecting me, even if I was fine. It's impossible to get in contact with her. I've been trying to schedule an appointment for weeks now and it has been telephone tag. They do not answer the phone during the hours that they say they are there. I have had problems and questions in the past and feel like she is not paying attention. She does not like being questioned. I'll still be trying to talk to her as and she'll be walking out

I recommend Dr. Ackerman to all my family and friends! She is a kind,easy to talk to and thorough. When she is in the exam room, I feel as though I am her only patient. She takes her time to listen to her patients. The wait time is longer than desirable and I often feel that I am waiting a while after my appointment time to be seen, but the level of her care is rare to find.
