If you need a crown, go see Dr Ackerman! He and his staff are very qualified, they take the highest methods of CoV protocols and they are so fun. But the crown—fancy new (to me) technology that creates your crown in a few hours. Dr Ackerman is the best and I completely trust him!

The easiest filling Ive ever had. Dr. Ackerman was so gentle with the novican that I barely felt it. The staff is lovely, the wait was short and I felt cared for as soon as I walked in. You guys have a lifelong client with me.

Dr. Ackerman is great, I’ve been going to him since I was a teen. He always explains thoroughly what he’ll be doing and checks with you often during any procedure to make sure you’re okay. He’s the best and his staff is awesome too, especially Jayann who does my cleanings.

The only thing I regret is that 3 days ago was my very first experience instead of 21 years ago, when I moved to this neighborhood! Dr Ackerman, is very professional and extremely friendly, just as his help, Sarah and others, put all that with last words of technology (laser, no needle anesthesia and so on) and you have German precision and outstanding results God bless!

Dr. Ackerman and his girls are very knowledgeable and kind. They always do a great job! New interior design is cozy, yet modern. I would highly recommend Dr. Ackerman if you are looking to switch or are new to the area.

I cant recommend Gary Ackerman, DDS strongly enough as a dentist. Ive been seeing him for my dentistry needs since the mid 80s. Ive seen his practice grow and thrive through the years. I always get outstanding work, clear explanations, and the enjoyment of his outstanding sense of humor. The hygienists and office staff are always friendly, happy, and ready to address any need. One of the absolutely best office experiences Ive seen. Garys and the hygienists skills are to be complemented too. Getting numbed up for work on a tooth and my teeth cleaned by the hygienist are pain free every time. Going in is as close to looked forward to as a dentist visit can be and not dreaded.And most amazing is how well Gary and the office keep up with new technology and techniques. Ive seen an amazing evolution in dental care in the 30+ years in the office. Now they grinding crowns right there in the office and in one visit you have a new crown. Amazing!!! Gary consistently attends dental conferences, vendor presentations, etc. and clearly makes an extra effort to keep up with the latest techniques. And he makes the investment to bring the latest equipment into the office.If you are looking for a dentist than look no further... Go see Gary.

Absolutely the best dentist I have ever been to see. Dr Garys staff is very personable and will explain every process that they are doing. Dr. Gary helps me understand what the long term plan is on my treatment. Very gentle, very professional, very comfortable experience!

I have been seeing Dr. Ackerman for about about a month now as I have extensive work that is to be done, with more visits to come. I am completely comfortable and confident in his abilities. He is excellent at keeping me informed and educated on what procedures are to be done and what they entail his staff is extremely friendly and professional. It is never a source of anxiety to visit his office as it has been with past dental professionals. I highly recommend this office if you are looking for a primary.

Dr Ackerman is a wonderful dentist. His warm, caring manner is only exceeded by his professionalism and expertise as a dentist. I have been a patient for several years,and when I moved to another city, I continued to drive to Carmichael to see him.Tracy, his office manager is also wonderful and has helped me with billing, resulting in a refund from my insurance.Ashley, his hygienist is knowledgeable and gentle.

Doctor Ackerman and staff are the greatest. Gary and staff are friendly, professional, caring and most importantly they know what their doing. Gary has the most up to date dental equipment and he’s not afraid to use it. I’ve been with Gary since the first week he opened his practice and he hasn’t failed me yet. And most importantly he laughs at my jokes.

I have been seeing Dr. Ackerman since I was a kid but now I have my husband, and son seeing him too! Hes the best, very gentle and patient. Not only is Dr. Ackerman great but so are everyone else in the office, super friendly and always there to help if you need anything. I would (and have) recommend Dr. Ackerman to anyone looking for a good dentist.

We were lucky enough to find Dr.Gary Ackerman in the early 1990s. Our children were young and the Doctor was so gentle and patient with them. Our kids are adults now and we still go to Dr. Ackerman. The office is always immaculate and the staff are always welcoming so we would never consider leaving. Throughout the years we have recommended friends and coworkers who share our confidence in everyone at the office of Dr. Gary Ackerman. We highly recommend them.

Dr. Ackerman was recommended to me by a friend when I was visiting Carmichael for a couple of weeks. I lost a filling 10 days before I was sceduled to be back in Chicago and I was concerned about being in pain before I got home. Dr. Ackerman agreed to see me on an emergency basis. After an x-ray, photos and a thorough exam, Dr. Ackerman put in a temporary filling which was comfortable, and which lasted just fine until I was able to see my dentist in Chicago. Dr. Ackerman is a very nice fellow, and he did a great job repairing my dental issue.

Dr. Ackerman is great. The dental care I receive is wonderful, from the complete consultations, to answering all my questions,to letting me know my options, and to accommodating my schedule to an incredible degree. Ive had a couple of dental emergencies and the staff was great about fitting me in. The excellent dental care I receive here is great, and the positive attitude of caring Dr. Ackerman and his staff display is a huge bonus. I recommend Dr. Ackerman highly.

Dr. Gary , What can I say about him except that he is an awesome dentist. I always hated going to the dentist and then I was lucky enough to have someone recommend Garys office to me.

I had an older crown come loose and fall out while visiting family in Sacramento. My wife had a check up appointment scheduled. I went with her and Dr. Ackerman was able to re-cement my tooth at the same time. Everyone in the office is professional and friendly. Also, there is a wide variety of magazines, and they are all up to date!

Dr. Ackerman has been my dentist since he first opened his office. Excellent dentist who takes great care in his work. Of particular note is that he takes care of what needs to be done without trying to sell you on additional cosmetic work. His staff is friendly and professional. He has my highest recommendation, hands down.

Review №37

In 1984 prior to my retirement from the AF I had my final dental check. Everything thing seemed to be fine. Before I left the building a tech suggested I see a dentist ASAP. Evidently I ground my teeth down to a point that they could not be crowned. It was suggested I contact Dr Ackerman. My appointed confirmed that only two of my lower teeth could be saved. For over 30 years I have had several appointments with him and his staff. Each appointment they reviewed all my medications to insure that he could proceed with a procedure. Any doubts they contacted my Kaiser doctors to insure it was OK to perform the procedure. I would personally recommend Dr Ackerman and Staff for there future dental expertise. During the past 30 years he has modernized and updated his equipment. An outstanding dentist and staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ackermans for over 25 years, and always been treated excellently by Dr. Ackerman and his staff with friendliness, professionalism, and willingness to make my experience positive... whether it be a simple cleaning or more invasive treatment. His office is immaculate and up to date with the most current technology and instrumentation. Recently, I endured dental problems that eventually led to a crown. Although hesitant, I was amazed with the ease and expediency of this process.... unlike years ago! The entire procedure was just a few short hours, and my permanent crown was made and complete in that time with one appointment! In fact, during my short wait for my crown to be molded and made, I felt so comfortable in the dental chair that I actually fell asleep! When I woke, my new crown was placed with no discomfort, and I was able to continue my day eating and drinking immediately! In fact, the new crown actually looks so real, it looks better than my original teeth! I am so grateful that Dr. Ackerman made my experience so positive! Not only did I have same day results with my new crown, but it was painless, quick, and I got in a nap to top it off!Thank you, Dr. Ackerman! Lori

Dr. Ackerman has been my dentist of choice for 27 years (or more). He was recommended to me when I returned to Sacramento from the Bay Area. He is such a wonderful dentist & his staff so thoughtful, kind, and professional that I continued to drive to Carmichael even after my family moved to Placerville! He is considerate, gives careful referrals when needed (Oral Surgery) and is an all around terrific dentist! He and his lovely staff have helped me overcome my fear of the dentist and become a confident, 2 times a year, regular flosser kind of gal!

Went to Dr. Ackerman on a referral from 1-800-Dentist way back in the 90s. I had slammed out of a dentists office in the middle of a root canal and was hurting and bawling and squalling. They sent me to him because he had a reputation of being gentle and patient. I went, we fixed, and it took some fixing, including multiple after office hours calls to deal with the pain. Havent been anyplace since then. Hope he doesnt retire anytime soon.

Dr. Ackerman and staff work together like a well tuned piece of machinery. Staff is very efficient and professional. Dr. Ackerman has a wonderful chairside personality, shows much interest in your well being and shows concern for your comfort when you are in his chair. I do not like going to the dentist but he makes it seem less painful. That means a lot.

I have been seeing Dr Ackerman off and on for over 12 years and he is by far the best dentist I could have asked for. I had horrible experiences with dentists in the past, resulting in no dental work for over 15 years, I shared my fears with Dr Ackerman and he assured me I was in good hands. He was correct, he quickly produced a treatment plan and implemented it. Also the staff are great, the hygienists do a thorough job, and Dr Ackerman always takes time to make sure the treatments went well. No more crazy nightmares of ineffective dentists here...

Dr Ackerman has been our familys dentist for four generations, all the way back to my grandmother, then my mother and myself, and now my daughter. The office is always a friendly experience, the staff is amazing, and Dr. Ackerman is a great dentist. I hated shots growing up, he goes so slow with the novacaine you never even feel the shot.... Even at seven years old I wasnt scared of his shots haha. You will not be disappointed in making this office your family dentist.
