Very attentive and knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and more. Was completely up to date with my medical history even though it was the first time of seeing me.
His patient manner put me at ease and was a comfortable session. Felt as if there was a genuine care and interest in what was discussed. Rarely seen these days with doctors.

Dr Ako is a compassionate listener who doesn’t assume he knows everything about what is wrong with his patients until after he has heard everything they have had to say and explored options with them. He is patient, understanding and genuinely cares for someone in his charge.
