    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.

      I felt like my concerns were taken seriously and addressed and we finally were able to get the appropriate care for an illness we've been dealing with for 3+ weeks (3 previous visits to the Twlight Clinic were unhelpful -- Dr. Akafuah finally was able to get us the care we needed to get my little one on a path to recovery).
