    Dr. Akafuah consistently exceeds my expectations as a pediatrician. She listens to every single concern I have and I don't feel like I'm failing as a parent if something isn't exactly in line with recommendations. She takes the time to explain everything and make sure I understand what I need to be doing for my son.

      Dr. Akafuah is excellent in every way. She listens to questions and concerns, and is never dismissive even as she offers information and education about a particular matter of concern. I appreciate her patience and warm demeanor and the way that she simultaneously engages with parent and child in an active way. I trust and respect her. My son is comfortable with her. It's quite rare to have a physician who inspires such degree of confidence in their work.

      Dr. Akafuah is absolutely amazing. UK is so lucky to have her. She explains everything to me as the parent, but also to my son and includes him in the decision-making. She is kind, patient and always takes the time needed for the visit. My son can sometimes have anxiety about going to the Dr. so her putting him at ease means the world to me and alleviates my stress.

      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.
