Patient Reviews
Nov 08, 2024
As always Dr. Akhrass was extremely professional, knowledgeable and thorough. A few times I have asked questions after examination and he always stops and gives me his full attention. If I didn't know better, I would think I was his only patient. His kindness is so valued. He's one of 3 drs out of many that i see that truly went into a profession they were called to be in. I would highly recommend him.
