Patient Reviews
Apr 05, 2023
Dr Akus is my hero! I thought I had a stomach bug, out of an abundance of caution Dr Akus recommended a CAT scan. His nurse scheduled it within an hour. My appendix was ruptured. (I didn’t have any of the classic symptoms) I was immediately admitted to Backus Hospital. Dr Akus saved my life. ??????????
