Jun 17, 2023
Thank God for this doctor! My original Dr took a leave of absence then his wife took over then she left! All in the same year! I had no idea who I was going to get for my Dr! I decided to stay and give Dr Akuna (who I’m always calling him Dr Akunta !) a try. I’m so glad I did! This Dr will spend the time with you and answer any and all questions you might have. I respect this Dr to treat me with the utmost care. You will not be disappointed in this great Dr. He also listens to you and respects your input ! Yes I definitely will recommend him!
