RIDICULOUS! The ride back after surgery was very painful and uncalled for. Secondly, the man is really cold and arrogant. Not my cup of tea. Lastly, the injured area is worse now one year later after surgery and he had the nerve to ask me if I ever considered working thru the pain! That was his answer to me as I asked him why I am still in so much pain and swollen 6 months after surgery. If you make an appointment to see him do not be surprised if his assistant, Ruggerio, steps in for him. I had numerous questions for Dr. Ackland only to find out that he does not attend many of his own appointments. I want to speak to the person who was going to operate or did operate on me personally not his assistant. Please find another doctor...believe me you will be much better off!
