Kristine takes her title as Medical Aesthetic Nurse Specialist with pride. She graduated with honors with her BSN from the California State University of Sacramento in 1991 and comes to us from the Northern California with over 20 years of acute clinical nursing experience where she specialized in Cardiac, Critical care and PACU (post anesthesia care unit).
Ackerman helped me make a dream come true. I am thrilled with my results and so grateful to have found such a skilled and artistic surgeon. A very special thank you to Dr. Ackerman and his staff for their wonderful support and excellent care. I couldn't be happier with my results. My experience with Dr. Ackerman and his staff has been outstanding.
Aging individuals can suffer a loss of facial definition, sagging skin, and the development of wrinkles. Facelift surgery can help turn back the clock, giving you a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Dr. Ackerman has perfected his facelift technique to provide patients with significant, dramatic improvements without the telltale signs of a facelift.
Facial signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin, can make a man look older than he is or feels, which often negatively affects his self-esteem. Fortunately, facelift surgery is not just for women. Dr. Ackerman has devised a process that provides his male patients with many options in facial rejuvenation surgery.
As the science of plastic surgery evolves, time-proven procedures like the Facelift (rhytidectomy) get even better as refinements make results more natural and longer lasting. One such innovation is the Deep Plane Facelift. As opposed to the SMAS facelift, the Deep Plane Facelift is a more powerful technique that addresses "mid-face" aging, providing more longevity to the correction of the jowls.

Diane is literally magical. She is so skilled and so talented. My Mother loves her work and has been getting botox and juvederm from her for a few years now, and recently got two sessions of kybella from her. My mom is always satisfied with her results! We have infinite trust in Diane when in need of a little TLC, and when people tell my mom how beautiful she looks, we always say "thanks Diane" as our little inside joke lol.

I’m so grateful that I went to Dr. Ackerman for my rhinoplasty! From the moment I had my consultation, Dr. Ackerman, Alicia, and Kimberly have truly been the best, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It took me years to get the courage to undergo surgery because I was so scared, but Dr. Ackerman and his staff were reassuring. I am 8 months post-op, and I am so happy with my results and much more confident in my appearance. I highly recommend Dr. Ackerman! He will exceed your expectations and give you amazing results!

I have never felt more confident and more beautiful. Dr. Ackerman did a nose job for me (I had collapsed cartilage on one side), and fixed my weak chin with an implant. He really genuinely cares about his patients. Other surgeons just want money. Not Dr. Ackerman. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable, happy, and confident before moving forward. He is very honest and realistic! If I need anything in the future I am 100% going to him. He also did a nose job on my good friend and helped her. She is so happy and I am so grateful she was taken care of by Dr. Ackerman! ❤️

I went and had a consultation with Dr. Ackerman for a rhinoplasty after doing extensive research to find the best possible surgeon. After my consultation I knew he was the best surgeon for me based on his knowledge and experience. I went in for my surgery months later and it was a very smooth process. I wasn't concerned at all going into my surgery. It has been two weeks since my surgery and I want to say I am extremely happy with my nose. He really exceeded all expectations I had and gave me the perfect nose. He told me there would be a lot of swelling and rhinoplasty recovery is a very long

Kudos to those who are thick skinned enough to get through their initial consultation and reap the incomparable surgical results provided by this self-processed "world class" surgeon. Let's start there-I have been to many surgeons over the years, medically or cosmetically, and have NEVER had someone refer to themselves as a world class surgeon. But let's say that Dr. Ackerman is indeed that, and perhaps I would have received the best face lift known to man- I'll never know.

Kristine is amazing! She is a magic woman! . I walk in looking 75 and leave looking 25! (Well, maybe a tad older). Kristine always knows just what to do, and I confidently leave it to her. She is so knowledgeable and talented! Kristine respects my budget, and always gives me the most "cluck for the buck." And, her injection technique is almost painless!!
I'll never go anywhere else for my fillers and botox!

Best experience! I’ve had two procedures with Dr Ackerman and both have been very easy. I am so pleased with the results! He is definitely the best in his field. Very professional, confident and pleasant person to work with. Great bedside manner.
His work is so natural, no one has asked what I had done! Just that I look amazing! Which is what everyone wants to hear! I am so happy with my results!
If you are considering plastic surgery I would highly recommend Dr Ackerman!

I just wanted to say I have gotten Botox from multiple offices but nothing compares to the service received by Kristine Taylor at Dr Ackermans! I have never had a bad reaction or result with Kristine administering. She is very conservative with application yet I receive the most incredible results. I alway leave extremely happy. She does not up sell nor does she make you feel like you need more than you are comfortable with. I highly recommend her for all your Botox needs though I am slightly hesitant to boast of her skills for fear of never being able to book an appointment with her again! She

If you want the best, then have Dr. Boris Ackerman perform your procedure. I am 73 and a young waiter told me recently I look better than his 51 year old mother. Dr. A is an artist who listens and hears every word you say. Not only does he hear you, he understands what you would like to achieve. There are no surprises, because he makes sure he and you have the same expectations. If he doesn't think you can achieve the results that you desire, he will tell you honestly what is realistic. His face lift is very natural--none of that phony stretched look. He has done multiple procedure on me including

I’ve worked in the medical and beauty industry for over 15+ years. Although I have many connections in the industry I trust absolutely no one to come near my face except for Diane. I’ve been offered botox for free but I refuse to go to anyone else. You don’t chose over quality and Diane is just that! Would highly recommend her to anyone.

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Ackerman! I had a lower face lift (and neck), with a demi brow and a lip lift. Everything turned out as great as I had hoped. Dr. Ackerman is easy to talk to and I felt completely at ease. His office staff is very professional and friendly. They are always available for questions. Thank you Dr. Ackerman and

Christine at Dr. Ackerman is the absolute best for Botox!
She is meticulous, patient and spends all the time in the world talking through the look you want and mapping out exactly where she will inject. She not only has the sweetest bedside manner, but I feel so good knowing she does this all day long day after day- she is one experienced lady!

Had my lips done by Diane at Dr Ackerman's office and I am beyond thrilled with the results! After having them done a handful of times before by a different doctor, I was shocked at how painless it was by her and they turned out amazing :):)

Boris (quack quack) Ackerman gave me Paris Hilton's nose.
Ten years after my septo-rhinoplasty my nose is STILL healing. I've been getting cortisone shots with another surgeon and also talking to him about doing a revision rhino.
Let me back up a bit. I first went in for a consult with Dr. Ackerman 11 years ago cuz I had this huge hump on my long crooked nose and a hanging collumella. First of all, he doesn't listen! I told him that I wanted the collumella raised and he argued with me about it not looking natural. I trusted him even though I knew in my gut that my nose would look
