Patient Reviews
Oct 15, 2024
Dr Akerman greeted me before the procedure and in the procedure room discussed what he would do as well as talked to me afterwards. I appreciated that. I only had a problem with the anesthesiologist who ignored my request for nausea medication. As a result I had vomiting all afternoon. I expected a sore throat but the vomiting made it worse.
