“The doctor was incredibly professional and friendly.
She took the time to listen to each of my issues and gave feedback and enough information so I can research the issues myself.
She also clearly explained all the tests I would have done and the reason why they are required.
I left my appointment feeling incredibly confident in the care I had received.
I would feel safe putting myself and my loved ones in Doctor Akunna’s care.”

“I was extremely happy with every part of my experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The doctor was incredibly friendly, attentive, and patient. She truly listened to my concerns without rushing and made me feel heard and respected. She took the time to explain everything clearly and offered great advice that was thoughtful and reassuring.
The staff was also exceptional—very kind, professional, and accommodating, which made the entire visit even more pleasant. The environment was warm and comfortable, and it’s clear that everyone there genuinely cares about their patients. I absolutely loved my experience and feel confident knowing I am in good hands. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for compassionate, quality care.”

I always get anxious visiting with new doctors but Dr. Akunna was attentive, personable, and very easy to talk to. She went above and beyond to address my concerns and offered services, referrals, and recommendations that I hadn’t even considered. Glad to have found her!

First time visiting Dr. Akunna and it was a great experience. She listened to all my concerns, was considerate, and very helpful referring me to additional resources
July 24, 2025Christina G.Verified patient
Loved everything about this visit but the highlights was Dr. Jessica Akunna and the nurse that assisted me. I forgot her name but she was so lovely and understanding with all questions and answers, they both made me feel welcomed and I will be switching my primary health care provider to her. Also big plus is they have a lab office, so you can do blood work there too!
