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.

The best Doctor there is.

We have been patients of Dr Akey since 2017 when he was still in California. The past 4 plus years we have still been under his care, all virtually now. We have seen him for sick visits, sports physicals, blood work for the whole family, and even possible hernias. He is still as knowledgeable and helpful as always. He truly listens and does not just jump the gun to “he is the doctor and knows best mentality”. He is definitely a godsend and we are so grateful for him.

Bad prognosis, not attentive

Got a video call with Dr Kenneth for a depression in my son's heel. He checked it over video and a photo I had sent and gave some antibitoics. Further advised that we need to visit the hospital for X-ray and surgery as it was likely a foreign body gone inside when he played. That didn't help but we found out it was common plantar warts and got it treated easily. Also he didn't pay much attention to what we were telling him.

I just had the 1st consultation with Dr Akey and was so impressed that I switched to him from our previous pediatrician right away. This is the Dr. I have been looking for! Even though it was only an initial consultation, he gave us lots of information, suggestions and recommendations right away. He seems passionate about educating patients on healthy eating and lifestyle to correct disease and prevent it from happening in the first place rather than just prescribing some drug to cover symptoms.

?I love taking my daughter to see Dr. Akey!!! He and his staff were not only professional but were so friendly and me my daughter and I feel special and important. I have NEVER experienced such a fantastic bedside manner from a doctor. From the moment we met him we felt comfortable (my daughter is 15 and you know how picky teen girls can be). He not only performed his duty as a PD, but was so informative as to specific diet and supplements to take.

Always rushed, like his mind was elsewhere. He does seem great with kids but there is little attention to patients. Front desk is horrible. It's run by his wife who is a total drama show. Very unprofessional and inappropriate. Not worth the trouble. You see the doctor for about 5 minutes and it's on to the next.
