"AKDHC's protocol does not allow the immediate posting of a patient's diagnostic results to its portal, including blood work and radiology procedures, until the patient's next visit... AKDHC appears indifferent to that right."
— Top Rated Local review"During surgery, this really stoic man told the surgeon he could still feel pain—that he needed more meds to kill the pain. He asked then begged for more and the surgeon totally ignored him... What kind of a doctor does that?????"
— Birdeye review (Outpatient Surgery)"AKDHC Dr. Zaharia is an outstanding nephrologist. He spends a lot of time with his patients. You will feel like you matter."
