Dr. Akachi Awuruonye was excellent. She was very kind and informative and took the time to really listen to my concerns. She explained my skin condition clearly and started treatment right away instead of making me wait months like some providers do. I also appreciated that she scheduled a follow-up in two weeks to check my progress, which shows she truly cares about patient outcomes. I felt comfortable, heard, and confident in her care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and attentive dermatologist.
