As always, Dr. Akkawi listened carefully to my concerns.
Dr. Akkawi is an excellent empathetic physician who treats her patients with respect and kindness. She is also a good listener.
I was very pleased she seemed to be very concerned about my health. She didn't just rush me off. She listened and address the issues.
Excellent experience
My PCP is a very considerate and knowledgeable person, who listens and respects my medical issues with thoughtful sensitivity.
I feel fortunate to have such a qualified physician.
I've only met Dr. Akkawi once but we have talked in depth per messaging. She has responded right away. She listens to what I have to say, asks questions & responds with an answer. I am totally comfortable with everything about her (Dr. Akkawi).
Always a professional experience.
All good more talks about my diet and health.
as for possible procedures,i brought up some questions about procedures. dr. akkawi wasn't sure about the procedures i mentioned,that was because it is not her specialty. she did encourage me to see a specialist for what i talked about.she gave me a referral.i am quite satisfied with dr. akkawi.as far as prescriptions go,each dr. within the advocate system that i see always asks what meds i take.
DR. AKKAWI a very caring dr. NO complaints about her... (Love her.)
Dr. Akkawi has always been able to help me and understand me. She is always prepared when inquiring about my health. She does a thouragh reading of my record and knows what to say and how to say it. She is a very caring person.
Always a good conscientious compassionate visit. I feel well taken care of. ALWAYS
Again, always a great experience ! she's the best !
Excellent experience.
Excellent experience.
Dr. Joyal Akkawi is a stellar physician. Not only is she quite knowledgeable, she is also approachable. She listens well. She cares about me as a person. She pushes me to take good care of myself physically and mentally. She understands me, which is a fete in itself. I am thankful for her and her team.
the phone visit was better than I expected.
I've been coming here for year...ups or downs I'm dedicated and I'm satisfied with the care here... love my doctor she's a rock star, & it's difficult to get a appointment with her it may take months when you want to see her within the month you called, because apparently I'm not they only one who love her.
my experience is usually pleasant and professional, I have no complaints...keep up the good work
The experience was thorough and good.
Very good

She is very good.
she was good can't complain about her bed side manner. However making an appointment to see her is bad, she is so busy it's hard to see her.
The only thing I can complain about is trying to get an appointment to see her. it takes too long to make one and when she has to cancel it another long wait to see her and it's not my fault of the cancelation.
Keep up the good work.
I am very comfortable with Dr. Akkawii.
I love this provider. she. is always helpful
Excellent doctor!
My Dr. is very nice personable and caring. She is easy to talk to and helps me through everything.
I have nothing but good experiences with my doctor. It's hard to name just one when there are so many.
Dr. Joyal Akkawi she sits and she will tell you how you are doing (I am doing good keep up the what I am doing. (I am 85 yrs. old.
She is a good dr. I told her that I like her. I don't want to have to choose another dr.
My experience with the provider is 10+!
MY VISIT WAS AN EXTREMELY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE. DR. AKKAWI IS AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH HER PROFESSIONALISM.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME I HAD TO WAIT FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
Doctors visit went fast & professional.
It was a routine check up. She covered all the bases and is the best PCP Ive ever had. Im a total worry wort and when I send her an email - she always responds within the hour or two. She has a way of calming my nerves. Advocate is lucky to have Dr. Akkawi. She has such compassion and empathy that you don't always see with Dr.'s anymore.
SHE'S THE BEST!!!!

I love my doctor she is very good. I also like my clinic location and all employees I have contact with. You can give blood without any pain. They are smooth as silk.
Never had a bad experience from this office.
Dr. Akkawi is a great dr., however, she comes off a little to strong.
It was a good doctor visit. I seen Dr. Akkawi last July (2018) since Dr. X was on vacation.

Dr. Akkawi is always very thorough, always asks questions about X and speaks to her directly especially because she has dementia. She has provided excellent care for X for many years.
