Patient Reviews
Nov 23, 2024
2003 colonoscopy- cancer found. My husband had surgery to remove it that resulted in temporary colostomy. Several months later reversal of colostomy surgery completed. A few days later he was in severe pain. With Dr. Akerkar's expertise, the problem was resolved. Husband healed and was cancer free. Followed up with regularly scheduled colonoscopies.2022 colonoscopy shows unusual growth-not like a normal polyp. Dr, Akerkar recommends and sends referral for husband to see a specific surgeon who specializes in out of the ordinary colon cancer surgery. Cancerous growth is removed. Hospitalized for 8 days. Several weeks recovery. Cancer free once again. Resumed colonoscopy schedule. The latest procedure which was yesterday -the results equal ZERO polyps. Dr. Akerkar also suggested husband may be lactose intolerant and sure enough after testing she was correct. She is gentle, kind, caring and explains everything in detail. Highly recommend Dr. Akerkar.
