I've been seeing them for about two years. Compassionate and patient service, and a good listener. Would recommend!
Highly recommend Oko Akrong! I've been going here for about a year now. I feel heard, well taken care of, and I never feel judged. It's genuinely been a great experience consistently and I'm so thankful I found this office!
Medical care itself is easy, communicative, and adaptive to my needs. Appointments are easy to schedule from an admin perspective and have lots of availability and telehealth options.
I've only had great experiences with them. Extrememly efficient and respectful of my time. I recommend DMV psychiatric to every one I know who's looking for a psychiatrist.
This place is terrible, you will speak to someone offshore in the Philippines. If you don’t fill out the forms they want (not official and only design to sue you if you miss a appointment) not including zoc doc information within 4 hours they will cancel your appointment without official notice . I made my appointment on Thursday for Friday and when I woke up my appointment was cancelled even though I uploaded my insurance information and everything. This is very irresponsible and shows you are only for cash now , you will not care about my care long term -you just worried about billing my insurance before I even speak with the nurse Courtney Banks . You get what you pay for and that was terrible customer service so I cancelled my appointment and scheduled one with a actual doctor not a nurse just trying to get paid like a doctor and who has zero concern for health. It a money grab from a nurse folks you have been warned.
UNSAFE DOCTOR They NEGLECTED to add the birth control I listed in my intake form to their records. He prescribed me a medication that made my birth control ineffective, provided me no information or warning of such affects. Months later, I was forced to get an ABORTION— a position i would not have been in if he had correctly documented my patient history and informed me of the inference between medications. When confronting him about it, I ask him to show me my intake forms and their internal records— showing both of us where he was in the wrong.
Oko has been my provider for many years and he's been fantastic. He has a nice, calm demeanor and is very down to early. On top of that, he responds to messages incredibly quickly and always makes himself available to me if I need. I highly recommend him.
I had to get an assessment for a job and Dr. Olufisayo was very professional and provided excellent service. She was honest, knowledgeable in her practice and an excellent listener. I left my session educated and feeling great valuing her assessment. I would highly recommend her and this practice to anyone. Excellent customer service.
Since I've started working with Dr. Akrong - I've experienced tremendous results & improvements across all areas in my life. Not only is he attentive, a wealth of knowledge, responsive, detail-oriented, and prompt - he communicates my treatment plan & explains our execution strategy in a simple & intuitive manner. Very grateful for having been recommended to set an appointment with DMV Psychiatric Wellness!
Olufisayo was fantastic to have an appointment with. She was attentive, engaging, and she was an excellent listener. I came from a practice in which I had a terrible experience, and I can say very easily that this was the exact opposite of that. I left my session with her feeling great and I would strongly recommend her and this practice to anyone.
