Dear Mr. Ackermann, thank you for your careful analysis of my health problem and your independent opinion on its solution. I also appreciate the very quick response, the second opinion meant reassurance to me that I was taking the right step (undergoing surgery). Kind regards, JK
A very prompt, comprehensive, and above all clear answer.
The medical opinion was prepared professionally, in great detail, and was very easy to understand—all delivered in record time (on the same day). The response to my follow-up question followed the same standard, arriving in less than an hour! Among other things, I truly appreciate the inclusion of MRI images with the damaged areas clearly marked, as well as the detailed answers to all my questions. The opinion confirmed that I should undergo surgery. Should I face any future issues with my musculoskeletal system, I would be more than happy to consult Dr. Ackermann again.
