    How was your appointment with Dr. Apakama?

    Oct 10, 2022
    Dr. Apakama is a very professional surgeon who explains every step thoroughly. My husband needed a cholecystectomy relatively quickly; His office staff was very professional and they got the referral through my insurance company in just 2 days. My husband was able to have his much needed surgery in a few days. The surgery went very well and Dr. Apakama came out to the waiting area and explained everything to me. I am very please with him and his office staff. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing general surgery.
