There is no friendly staff to greet you only one very mean and rude secretary. The so called Dr. all he cares about is seeing you as often as possible because he wants to make as much money as possible. He will make fun of you, very mean and uncaring. He wants to see you 3 times in the first week at $160 bucks a meeting. the office smells and is dirty above the food court at Bayshore. If you call his secretary on the phone or try to speak with her in person she will yell at you and talk over you. they have been sued for fraud in the past. Run like hell.
Dr. Ackerman ruined my family. I was a victim of parental alienation & he met with myself, my ex-wife & three children on numerous occasions only to help her facilitate my alienation. Do not believe what you read about his training. My wife has kept my children from me even today. If you are experiencing parent alienation & are using him to evaluate yourself or your family...RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! Since his failure to help my family, my ex-wife has abused & neglected my children & finally was diagnosed with a severe mental illness that he missed. My youngest is a heroin addict & loathes himself & my children lived without a loving father. Seriously, don't use him!
As soon as I walked through the door, I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They went out of their way to make me feel special and appreciated. When I arrived for my appointment the friendly staff seemed to be waiting for me. I've been to other places where I had to wait forever after I arrived for my appointment, but not here. I was very impressed. I'm always amazed at how considerate and concerned they are for my well-being. Their advice is always wonderful and completely unbiased. I've already started to recommend them to everyone I know. They made a huge impact in my life. I've never had to worry about them being understaffed or not being able to help me right when I need it. They have a huge staff that's very knowledgeable and qualified.
