Your Consultation

Your patient journey begins with a brief telephone interview with our Patient Coordinator, who will set up a consultation appointment for you and answer any preliminary questions you may have. Dr. Ackerman believes in solid communication and understands that an informed patient is an empowered patient. At your consultation, the two of you will discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns in detail to ensure Dr. Ackerman fully understands your vision. With your goals and desires in mind, he will then present you with your options, offering guidance where needed. If Dr. Ackerman believes another procedure will better align with your goals, he will explain his recommendation so you can ultimately make the best decision for yourself. 

Once a treatment plan starts to take shape, Dr. Ackerman will give you an overview of what to expect from the entire process, from preoperative instructions, to the day of your procedure, to your recovery. Dr. Ackerman encourages questions at this stage so that all your concerns can be addressed and you leave feeling content and prepared.
