first visit was informative however questions concerning previous treatment in Alaska was in question. 2nd visit was a blood draw.3rd visit we saw the Dr. he seemed more positive however, all the test results were not in and we felt the visit was unnecessary. we recieved a call saying I needed to come for a biopsy and another blood draw and still no appointment date. I'm concerned as we are waiting endlessly.

Dr. Akerley is always so compassionate, understanding, kind, and thorough. He speaks directly to me, not my care-givers. He remembers small details about my personal life and always asks about how things have been going. He was able to give me terrific news, not only about my scans, but updated me on new therapies that would be options for me in the future if needed.

Dr. Akerley and his staff have treated me for stage 4 cancer for just shy of a year now. I have met with him and his team regularly and have had nothing but the best care I could have ever hoped for. His compassion, combined with his expertise, has reduced my stress levels while guiding me on a path that has enabled me to both understand my disease and work to both combat it and live with the changes it has brought to my life. The team at Huntsman has given, and reinforced, the "hope" required to stay focused on living life to its fullest.
