Patient Reviews
Sep 01, 2020
Dr. Amankwah is a great surgeon and person. My mom had a nasty vascular disease, no other doctor would listen to her or help her...until we found Dr. Amankwah. He truly cared about her(and her family) he preformed 3 surgeries on her in upstate NY. We then followed him to UConn. Unfortunately, the disease was too aggressive and her tiny body couldn't handle anymore. Because of his expertise-He gave us extra time with her, and for that I will always be grateful for him!
