I just had my gallbladder out with Dr. Aki using the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery. I was home that morning. I put this surgery off for 5 years. I am so happy to have this over with. He is excellent at what he does!!! If you are looking for a surgeon - I think he is one of the BEST!!!

Dr. Aki is a kind and compassionate surgeon. He operated on me and several members of my family for medical issues ranging from non life threatening to advanced cancer. I have trusted him with my life and would recommend him to anyone facing surgery.

He's a sort of middle of the road kind of Doctor. Not amazing. Not bad. If he's in network for you, I'd say go to him. But be sure you get a second opinion before going under the knife with any doctor, really. For general stuff I wouldn't recommend him. Otherwise, he's okay.

The receptionist when asked a yes or no question, responded by mm or yea. It took 1-1/2hrs of wait time for him!! I came to him for lypomas on my legs. Yet, he told me they were arthritic related and I needed to see an R.A. doctor & if the doctor thought they should be removed, then come back to Aki. This took 1-1/2! The conversation took a complete 4 or 5 minutes. I told him I wanted them removed regardless & he said we had to wait the response of the R.A. doctor & I said no. I could tell he wasnt pleased w/my over riding his superior knowledge in the field. I was very, very dissatisfied w/him. I was able to have them removed from another surgeon & even explained the previous situation, but this surgeon hadnt any idea what Dr. Aki was saying to me. Even, as a layman, I knew he was wrong. He exited the room mad at me and I was furious with him.

the office staff was not friendly. I waited for more than 45 mins when I did get to see the doctor he seemed very dismissive to my problem. Told me to come back in a week. I felt as though he did not believe me. Getting the follow up visit was not easy so went someplace else would not return.
