“I had an awesome visit Dr. Akenji! She was very warm and welcoming. She even acknowledged my son who was there with me. She asked appropriate questions and gave me direct answers. I feel very pleased with her service and definitely will keep her as my PCP moving forward. The other staff were great too!”

“They still don't have a phlebotomist. So If you require blood samples you'd have to go to the other location on Memorial drive. Other than that I'll still give it a 5star. Friendly staff and professional service.”
