      I appreciate Dr. Akafuah deeply. She's been extremely important in helping me to access care for my two kids with ASD and mostly importantly has listened to me as a parent when the rest of the system got in my way or treated me like I didn't know what I was talking about.

      Dr. Akafuah is compassionate and a great listener. She answered all of our questions, gave us assessment forms for ADHD after we discussed it, and discussed important, age-relevant topics with the boys (e.g. Bullying, inappropriate touching). She's wonderful!

      Dr. Akafuah is always a wonderful, warm, caring medical provider. I appreciate her gentle care and respectful attitude. On this occasion-as it is during every visit with her-I feel that she is thorough, she explains without condescension, is always mindful of parent thoughts and questions, and she easily engages my son. I trust Dr. Akafuah completely.
