Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Follow-up Hospital Visit
Doctor Ankomah was very thorough and caring. She took the time to explain my condition and the options available for treatment. She made me feel like a person and not another number, which is important to me. Most of all I feel much better than I did when I walked into her office.

A good bedside manner does not make a good DR
Telehealth
She is not my primary doctor but was a fill in for a telemed call as I had Covid. She did not listen to me when I explained that I had signs of an infection beginning and knew that I would need an antibiotic due to my serious existing lung issues and history. She just kept saying that it's a virus and we don't treat it with an antibiotic. She refused to prescribe it even though it was on a Friday of a holiday weekend and I was starting with the lung involvement signs. She said to go to the ER if worse. I am in my 60's and have been dealing with lung issues most of my life. I know when I'm going to need an antibiotic. This doctor failed me. I would not recommend her at all. Doctors like this are the reason that so many people have died from this C virus. Early treatment should have been given without having to go to the ER.

She was very friendly and thorough.
I really like Dr Ankomah but the girls behind the counter have the personality of a rock and are not the least bit friendly or helpful. They made me feel like I was a bother to them.

Dr. Ankomah and her staff are wonderful. Dr. Ankomah treats you like you are her only patient. If I call in with a question, she calls me back, which I love.
