Patient Reviews
Oct 25, 2022
Dr. Acker did a double bypass on my heart back in 2016. The surgery was difficult since I had so much calcification of the coronary arteries that there was almost no place to do a graft. But he found one. The results have been fabulous. This month I have done ten bike rides of forty miles or longer, and at 71 can still hold my own with young racers. I have also done several controlled stress tests--and did extremely well. I can't praise Dr. Acker highly enough!
