Verified Patient Reviews for Shanice Akoto, MD
From the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, everyone is welcoming, warm, and easy to speak with. They really take their time with you to answer questions whether they work at the front desk, are your nurse, or one of the OB's. Dr. Akoto is a very calming presence who is easy to talk to, very understanding, and makes you feel human even during an experience like childbirth. I look forward to meeting with her no matter what my appointment is for and feel comfortable speaking to her about anything that may come up.

Attentive great staff nice and respectful and no wait time.
Dr. Akoto was very warm and patient. She was very interested in my health, asked me questions and answered my questions in detail. I felt like a woman and not treated like a number. At no time did I feel as if I were on a production line and being rushed out of room to have it prepped for the next client. Dr. Akoto treated me with the warmth, dignity and respect I've come to expect from this practice.
