Dr Akrong is amazing. After seeing 4 others who were not good at all (being polite) my wife found him. Without his help I probably wouldn't be here anymore. PTSD, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND ADHD combined with stressor sent me over aShow moren edge I couldn't stop. He did and I owe him big time. Little over 1 1/2 years and a bunch of medication changes I'm much better. Not perfect yet but I will get there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!

Mr akrong is so patient and so great to work with. He answers all my questions and I never feel rushed. He's been a huge help in changing my mental health
Mr. Akrong was great to speak with. He was really professional and is really down to earth.
Great to work with
I’ve had a few different psychiatrists and I’ve never had one sit down and truly listen to me and my experiences before. Dr Akrong really takes his time to understand me AND my medical needs!
Over the last 3 years I've managed to turn my life around largely because of Dr. Akrong. I went into my sessions with great apprehension for fear of being prescribed anti-depressants right out of the gate. Akwetey understood that, took a step back, listened to my story, and helped me realize and cope with my underlying issues of ADHD. I've managed to finish my undergrad, get married, and have my first child thanks to the last three years of therapy. I don't think a 5-star review is enough thanks, but it's the best I can do.
He changed my life; I'm not sure where I would be without seeking his help.
Mr. Akwetey “Doc” Akrong has help me extremely. He has talked me through some very difficult times he’s very understanding considerate confident knowing and designing a routine just for me he’s not quick to medicate he gradually gets you to a place of stability…he has shown me different ways of coping and self care to be able to get through I trust and respect “Doc” he’s amazing at what he do.
Wonderful experience every time. I definitely would recommend!
Had my first appointment with Akwetey Akrong. It was a great first appointment. I felt that he heard me out and was listening to everything I had to say. We were able to create a plan to move forward with and I felt that I was presented with options that allowed me autonomy. I am so glad I was referred to him!
Always a good experience speaking with Mr. Akrong. Highly recommend.
Always caring and takes time to understand what I say. I have recommended him to many others.
Mr. Akrong is extremely caring and considerate. He works hard to provide comprehensive care that encompasses all aspects of mental health.
Great communication. I felt like my appointment was thorough, and all my needs were addressed. I could not recommend more.
