Dr. Heman-Ackah is the best doctor ever! She is very kind, very caring, and very thorough. I haven't had another doctor like her.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Heman-Ackah for years. She’s treated my voice (I’m a classical singer), my thyroid, reflux, and allergies. I have bad asthma and she works closely with my asthma doctor to make sure my vocal folds are not damaged by my asthma medications. She is very thorough and conscientious. She’s a kind and caring doctor who has only ever wanted the best for me.

I went to see Dr. Heman-Ackah after another doctor misdiagnosed me. She treated my sinus infection and all of my problems went away. Would hands down recommend her!

Easily the most miserable , disinterested, and completely uncommunicative doctors I have ever been to.

I am a classical singer. I have been struggling with my top range for a while. Dr. Heman-Ackah identified the problem and helped me to get it back. She’s an awesome surgeon and an excellent doctor.

I went to see Dr. Heman-Ackah because I had been having problems with my voice for a while. I had seen a lot of other ENT's, none of whom were able to help me. Dr. Heman-Ackah identified my issue and was able to get me onto a path of recovery. I am so happy I went to see her.

A friend referred me to Dr. Heman-Ackah. When I asked my primary what she thought, she said that Dr. Heman-Ackah is an excellent surgeon and a great voice doctor. I went to see her and can't agree more. She has great bedside manner and is very thorough. I was having problems with my voice, which she accurately diagnosed and gave me medications that helped tremendously. I recommend her to all of my friends and highly recommend her to anyone who is having problems with their voice.

I've been seeing Dr. Heman-Ackah for 12 years. She also took are of my wife. Dr. Heman-Ackah is the best doctor I have ever had. She's kind, caring, and an excellent clinician. Her diagnoses are always on point. She's a great surgeon, and my other doctors have commented on how well her patients heal from surgery compared to other ENT's. My primary care doctor and my allergy doctor now send all of their patients who need an ENT to her.
