Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best cancer Dr.
My dad was diagnosed cancer the first part of this year. We seen Dr.Aks for about 2 months then she left medical place she was at. After that my dad went down hill very fast and he passed away in May.The Drs that was brought in didn't care at all. I would never want anyone to get cancer but if the terrible disease does, I hope you can see Dr.Aks.

I recently left a review about Dr Aks which I need to revisit. She is great. Summit Cancer was recently bought out which has thrown a monkey wrench into their customer service. After the 4th call, Dr Aks finally got my message. She returned my call and immediately set out to get me scheduled for additional tests and visits. I appreciated her candor and thoughtfulness and am very happy that my first impression was correct.

I found Dr. Aks to be VERY thorough. She took great care of my situation and made sure I was properly prepared for an upcoming surgery even though there was not much lead time. My surgeon was most impressed that she called him on a weekend before my Monday morning surgery. She is very good at explaining EVERYTHING. I highly recommend her. She is not only very competent but she has a great personality with patients.

dr aks was the best doctor ever, I was so scared on my first day of chemo. she came in. got on my bed whispered are you gonna eat your icecream, I said what icrecream. she went to fridge came out with a fudgesicle . I told her she could have it. and she jumped on my bed and ate her fudgescicle, while they started chemo. that's pretty personal and hands on. love her. will always remember her kindness when she left ., was so sad. as some of my other doctors were not so nice.

Wonderful, kind, caring physician. Diagnosed my husband w/NHL quickly and began chemotherapy. Excellent bedside manner, spends lots of time explaining options and answering questions. Sad to hear that she is leaving our local area (Yakima, WA). My husband and I are thankful for her thoughtful, compassionate, expert care.

Dr. Aka was thorough when looking for the right diagnosis and patient with my questions. She never spoke down to me or belittled me for not understanding something and had wonderful bedside manner.
