    Dr Akula is the best. She always answers any questions I have. She cares about her patients. There was an instance when I saw a hand doctor and he suggested I may have rheumatoid arthritis. The next time I went to see Dr. Akula I told her what happened and asked if she could send me for blood tests to see if I did have it. Dr. Akula took the time to call me with the positive results and sent a referral for a rheumatologist. She could have waited for my next upcoming appointment but she took the time to go above and beyond. I have had other doctors who have wanted to give me results of tests until my next appointment. In my view there is no one better for me then Dr. Akula.
