We were late going into the exam room, but it was our fault as we were waiting for other family members to get to the clinic. Still, Dr. Akerley and Terry spent plenty of time with us and answered our questions and concerns, and did not rush.

Doctor Akerly is one of the most considerate and caring doctors i've meet. He always gave me options about my care and let me make the decision. I felt like he trusted my judgement and new what i was talking about. I would recomend him highly, he is the best.

October 31, 2012

We could have had more explanations on medications, but it was all overwhelming and new to me.

Huntsman is the BEST in Utah for cancer. And after having to receive treatment myself, I agree that its the very best place to go for cancer treatments

We came to Huntsman because of your reputation....you are all the best.

April 06, 2012

Dr. Akerley, and his staff, are wonderful about providing information, and even chatting with us about things other than cancer. They are truly part of our family. Although I do not necessarily wish to be a cancer patient, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of these people. There are so many, but I will name just a few: Dr. Akerly, Terry VanDuren, Jon Nelson, Kelsey, the two young ladies at the front desk, Amanda, Brigitte, ALL of the medical assistants, ALL of the infusion nurses and their assistants, and anyone I know I have missed. My only problem was with the outpatient pharmacy.

April 06, 2012

We are very pleased with the care and concern given by the doctor and the entire staff. We are very pleased and trust our confidence and trust with Dr. Ackerly could not be better.

March 23, 2012

Dr. Akerley always gives the time I feel I need. I don't feel like he is trying to rush through our visit. We are receiving the very best care we could possibly get for my situation.

March 21, 2012

I couldn't think of any way my care and concerns have been addressed any better.

February 21, 2012

The staff taking the time to fully explain each detail/issue and never acting as if the patient nor his family member is asking a stupid question is a wonderful aspect of the treatment experience.

February 17, 2012

I am very pleased with Dr. Akerley and his care. He has always taken the time to talk with me and answer any concerns I have. I am very comfortable with Dr. Akerley and would recommend anyone to him.

February 15, 2012

I was very pleased that Dr. Akerley spent the right amount of time with me even though he was already behind schedule. I appreciate the fact that he needed to take care of another patient. I appreciate it even more when that patient is me. Since I had already waited so long, I am glad he didn't just rush through my appointment so he could get back on schedule. Thanks!!

February 10, 2012

Dr. Ackerley is superb .
