Dr. Akin and his nurse, Judy, are the best! I cannot agree more w/ the other positive reviews on this site. I first started seeing Dr. Akin when I was pregnant with my first kid about a year ago.
For starters, I really did not ever have to wait a very long time. I think there were maybe two times with all my visits where I was not seen within 15 minutes of my appointment times, so I do not think that wait time is a con.
Secondly, Akin and Judy make you feel as though you are the ONLY patient they are seeing. One time, we had to wait a little longer than normal, and Judy offered us some food that they had leftover from lunch. Like we were family!
Dr. Akin is truly an expert. He shared a lot of knowledge with us... like he could tell which side I ovulated from and always gave extremely detailed explanations for why he does things the way he does them, etc. He is very thorough. And for a knowledge junkie like me, that was extremely important and fun!
If you are pregnant, you may get to have more sonograms than you might w/ other practices because they have a machine right there in the office. Exciting? Yes!
Although I know they are very busy, never have I felt like they were trying to hurry up my appointments at all!
And I have to add that the whole staff is excellent - Cherie and his Nurse Practioner are also very attentive, encouraging and thorough in their care.
Before Akin, I had seen 2 different OBGYNs and they were awkward and boring at best. I'll never go back!
I never thought I'd say this, but... I can't wait to get pregnant again!
Pros: quality care/attentiveness
Cons: none!
