Dr. Aks is the best surgical oncologist ever. I would venture she is the best oncologist in the area. If anyone I know is diagnosed with breast cancer I would insist they see her for the best quality of care!

Dr. Aks was helpful in clarifying what further testing I needed to isolate my current condition. I felt comfortable with our decision, and will pursue her recommendations after the first of the year.

As always, Dr. Aks listens to my concerns and is very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. She seems to read up on my medical history before my visit because she starts off knowing what happened in the past and asks how I'm doing with Issues/concerns we discussed in a previous visit. I would definitely recommend Dr. Aks to family and friends!

The doctor seemed capable, well informed, sensitive and patient.Kristen the MA, worked with me to relax before she took my blood pressure, and we got a nice low reading for that, even though my BP usually rises in any health care setting. I really appreciated that.
