Hometown: Minneapolis, MN
I am passionate about: books. I spent a lot of time during my childhood reading, particularly series like Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. It gave me a way to explore what life was like in a different time and really get to know the characters. Now, I try to expand from fiction to really anything that I find interesting.
If I wasn't a doctor, I would be a: coffee shop owner. I love that they are such a community gathering place and I start every day with coffee!
I knew I wanted to be a doctor: because I thought it would be a great way to promote wellness and assist in diagnosing and treating medical conditions. It is a unique privilege to care for women at all stages throughout their lives, but no moment is more special than helping parents meet their new baby.
Something I have learned from my patients is: that trust between the doctor and patient is so important to the relationship.
Personal fitness goal is: to try walking 10,000 steps every day.
I am most proud of: that my children are healthy and happy.

The doctor had a attitude problem and was treating me poorly and wasn't professional

The service rendered
The doctored to me today which is unacceptable
Caring, made me feel comfortable and quick visit. No wait.
I love Dr Ackermann she is so polite, understanding, caring, knowledgeable.
Dr Ackermann was amazing.
The provider listened carefully to my questions and provided thoughtful responses that were rooted in the latest evidence and guidelines around perimenopause. She provided room for me to ask questions and voice concerns. She made sure that I was comfortable with her recommended course of treatment and that I knew when and how to follow-up with her.
On time. 100% certisfuction of doctor
