Patient Reviews
Jan 27, 2022
Dr. Anim-Appiah was very receptive during my appointment and waited for me finish my description of my issues. He asked many questions and provided me with probable causes. He ordered numerous tests to rule out or confirm possible causes and treatments. He saw me on time and was not in a rush. Very competent and professional. I am eager to see him for my second appointment.
