Patient Reviews
May 27, 2026
Dr Aaker was working in the ER the other night when we brought in my little girl with a significant injury. My daughter was in pain and scared. Her father and I were scared. It was awful, but Dr Aaker was such a kind and calm presence during that difficult time. He treated us with compassionate respect, took time for us on a busy night, answered all our questions, and did an amazing job of repairing our daughter's wound. I am so glad he was the doctor on duty that night.
