Patient Reviews
Oct 17, 2024
My husband had an angioplasty and Dr. Akamah inserted a stent in an artery and is prescribing medicine to try to clear another artery that didn’t quite need a stent yet. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything to us in detail. He kept my husband an extra night to make sure the new blood pressure meds were working for him. I wish Vanderbilt wasn’t canceling our insurance as we’d love to stock with Dr. Akamah!
