Kind, thorough, knowledgeable...We had a consult with him about our very high risk pregnancy, and he spent a lot of time with us and is providing all his personal contact information.

Condescending & sarcastic. Doesn't answer questions. Ignored my concerns and symptoms that I was going into preterm labor. Made me feel like a complainer. Delivered twins 9 weeks early. 7 weeks of NICU/Special Care Nursery. Never apologized or acknowledged that I was right. Stay away.

Fantastic doctor. If you are carrying multiples that are potentially high risk, this is your doctor. Please ignore the negative comments. If you recognize that you are not the expert, and listen to his advice and experience you will be happy.

outstanding doctor- he always took the time to hear me out- gave me all his numbers and I could reach him 24/7- he was incredible. Simplified issues into layman's terms. If I ever have another child- he'd be my doctor. couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Dr. Acker was my physician for a triplet pregnancy. I delivered at 26.5 weeks and unfortunately, he was not on call at the time of the delivery but came by to visit with me (and the babies) after the delivery. They were in the hospital for almost three months (until they were 39 weeks) and he routinely checked in with me about their status. During my pregnancy he was supportive, knowledgable and easily accessible for any questions I had. I find it hard to reconcile the negative comments posted with the doctor I know.

I saw Dr. Acker as an expert to advise on a very tricky pregnancy. After reading this website, i expected a jerk - but was pleasantly surprised to find the exact opposite. a very compassionate and wise man who only was thinking of my well-being and had excellent advice. also a good bedside manner. would use him again.

Very rude doctor. He didnt listen to my concerns as a patient at Brigham & Womens and I would not recommend this hospital as no one communicates with each other among the staff. Not to mention the nurses on the postpardum floor are very short and can be rude at times as well. I wish i had never delivered at this hospital as it destroyed the entire experience.

Best Doctor I have ever met. We had TTTS during our twin pregnancy and he looked after us SO well. His links with Dr. Quintero in florida were incredibly valuable.

Dr Acker is the most caring, gentle and wonderful MD on the planet. He cared for me and my triplet pregnancy perfectly. He left me his home number, was present at every appt. He is the best high risk physician imaginable.

7/7/08 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 2 | I regret ever using Dr. Acker for my twin pregnancy. He was arrogant, condescending and he routinely did not address my questions or concerns. He ignored signs that I was going into preterm labor. My twins were born 9 weeks early and couldn't leave the hospital for many weeks. He never ever apologized for his cavalier treatment of my early labor symptoms and was most callous. Wouldn't recommend him to anybody. | Respond |
