very polite and caring. She actually listens to her patients. She will not over medicate. My elderly parents feel very comfortable with her. Her waiting room is not attractive but do not be deterred by that....she is a wonderful doctor.

I found Dr. Akua refreshing ! She is sweet and down to earth, but she takes her patients health very seriously. She was not fast to medicate me. She gave me alternatives, which worked. Dr. Akua did not make me feel bad or embarrassed about my problems, like my previous doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Akua.
