Dr Akst and [staff] were very good

I drove 3 hours to see Dr. Akst because there are no specialists in my area that treat No Burp syndrome. It was a huge relief to find somebody experienced and knowledgeable on the matter. I've been trying to meet with an ENT specialist for over eight months and Dr. Akst was amazing! I am looking forward to my surgery next month and hope my condition will be resolved.
