Dr. Joel Ackerman, MD - Pain Management in Lee's Summit, Missouri

“Dr. Ackerman is simply the best in his field! He not only has the knowledge to provide services to his patients they need, but he has the heart. Dr. Ackerman was able to find issues in my mother's knee that over doctors had missed. Thanks to him, we were able to resolve the issue quickly and come up with a plan to keep it from occurring in the future. He was truly an answer to prayers for my mother's health! She now feels so much better all thanks to his determination and compassion. If you are looking for someone who cares and you want the best treatment possible, Dr. Ackerman is the one you are looking for! Whether it is for yourself or a loved one, he will treat you with the care, respect and expertise that you need to give you hope for the future with whatever pain issue you are experiencing. He cares about you getting the care you need when you need it, while other facilities will just book you out months upon months. Thank you, Dr. Ackerman! Our family truly appreciates you!”

“Referred to by my orthopedic doctor for pain management. Dr Ackerman is truly a fantastic doctor. I was scheduled for a epidural and was feeling very uneasy. He was very patient and explained everything thing that was going to happen. During the whole procedure he kept talking to be in insure I was doing good. I appreciate his professionalism, care and skill. He by far is a outstanding example of what a doctor is or should be. Kudos to him and his staff.”

“Dr. Ackerman is very rude and disrespectful. I, sought out his help for pain management after surgery. Joel, dismissed me and I received a letter from him stating he will no longer see me. I, do have a balance at his office. It can be sent to collections, makes no difference to me. My brother is a Pain Management Specialist and said that was not the way he would treat a patient. If I could give him a zero I would though I understand it makes no difference what I believe.”

“Dr. Ackerman is very patient and did my spinal cord stimulator implant. But they didn't inform me that he is not in network with my insurance. So an expected bill has arrived. Had 2 follow up visits and the lady at the front desk said "no charge" for follow up. Got additional bill for 2 co pays of $25.00 each. Beware.”
