    Dr. Akafuah is a physician that cares and always ensures my child feels seen and heard through her appointments. I have never felt gaslighted nor disregarded when I have concerns about my child's wellbeing and care. Genuinely I hope she stays at UK Pediatrics for her entire career because I know how nearly impossible it would be to find a physician that could fill her shoes. We adore Dr. Akafuah!

      We ALWAYS recommend Dr. Akafuah. Every time. This visit was a difficult one and Dr. Akafuah exceeded my (already high) expectations. She was thorough, kind, caring, and diligent. Teens are tough but Dr. Akafuah did a great job with my hurting teen.

      Dr. Akafuah consistently exceeds my expectations as a pediatrician. She listens to every single concern I have and I don't feel like I'm failing as a parent if something isn't exactly in line with recommendations. She takes the time to explain everything and make sure I understand what I need to be doing for my son.

      Dr. Akafuah is excellent in every way. She listens to questions and concerns, and is never dismissive even as she offers information and education about a particular matter of concern. I appreciate her patience and warm demeanor and the way that she simultaneously engages with parent and child in an active way. I trust and respect her. My son is comfortable with her. It's quite rare to have a physician who inspires such degree of confidence in their work.

      Dr. Akafuah is absolutely amazing. UK is so lucky to have her. She explains everything to me as the parent, but also to my son and includes him in the decision-making. She is kind, patient and always takes the time needed for the visit. My son can sometimes have anxiety about going to the Dr. so her putting him at ease means the world to me and alleviates my stress.
