Dr. Sergey Edward Akopov, MD

My father was referred to Dr. Akopov due to some pain he was experiencing in his head and neck area. Prior to his visit with Dr. Akopov, he had a CT scan conducted. While these results were faxed to Dr. Akopov's office right away, he did not look/review the results until two months after. Because they found a cerabral aneuryms Dr. Akopov should have notified my father of the results right away but instead he waited two months. When my father went to his appointment, his beside manner was horrible and he misdiagnosed him by saying he had neck arthritis. It was very clear he had not even read/reviewed my father's results. He was also very rude and did not allow time for questions. Horrible experience and would not recommend him.

This doc was absent the day they taught bedside manner and compassion in Medical School.My mom had a massive stroke and was in the ER. He was assigned to her case. He asked my brother and I what we wanted him to do for her. He is supposed to be the expert and tell us what can be done. When we responded with 'What can you do?' he simply shrugged his shoulders and said, 'Not much.' Lovely!

This is the worst doctor I have even seen. I took my mom to him as she was starting to forget some things and we had heard that there were some medications for dementia that would slow down the process. My mom lives by herself and is completely self sufficient. She works at her senior citizen center, organizes and hosts senior trips, manages the books for her square dance club, in other words is still very active. When we went to his office, the nurse asked my mom about 20 questions of which she answered all fine, then he came in and asked why were were there, I explained that she was starting to forget some things and we just basically wanted some information. He ordered a cat scan and then next thing we knew he had sent a letter to dmv requesting her drivers license be revoked. I would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. He is very rude and has no bedside manner whatsoever!
