Patient Reviews
Sep 08, 2022
Dr. Lee Akst is truly amazing. He makes time for his patients, and executes a thorough examination. He provides a clear detailed explanation of procedures, prior to surgery. We travel more than 200 miles to visit Dr. Akst. He exerts every effort to extend superior care to his patients. The entire staff is great. The surgery coordinator, Lori Chapman is the best! Dr. Akst continues to make daily phone calls to check on my progress. We highly recommend Dr. Akst to anyone searching for an awesome Otolaryngologist. Dr. Akst is truly a blessing, and we're extremely grateful!
