Patient Reviews
Jan 27, 2022
I have been a patient of Dr. Akright's for many years. I had come to her as a recommendation from another of her patients. My last Endocrinologist (Harry Lin Uy) did not listen to me, did not run tests I asked of him to run, which are standard at Dr Akright's office. I had previously put on over 20 pounds in a year. I was tired all the tim, had depression, etc. Dr Akright discovered I had hypothyroidism, severe b12 deficiency, also vitamin D deficiency. She fixed my levels and I felt like a million dollars. She takes her time with you, listens to your concerns and seems to genuinely care about your well being. I'm sad she will be retiring in a couple years. Will really miss her.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Laura Akright, MD.
