Oko Akrong was great. Right from the start he was pleasant and made me feel comfortable. He listened to everything I said and never interrupted me while I was talking. He paid close attention to my medications and my physical/mental health. He asked questions about what I wanted out of the visit and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable about it . I have seen many mental health professionals over the years and I rank him right near the top. His ability to hear what I was saying while devising a plan for my care was effortless. He is very good at what he does and I look forward to my next visit.
October 28, 2025Alisa S.Verified patientVideo visit
