Megan Akins's Online Review Report Card

I find it difficult to understand the negative reviews as she is VERY ATTENTIVE and explains everything very well. I am 67 years of age and have had many doctors along the way that were arrogant curt spoke in highly technical medical jargon. She is an excellent physician in my view I highly recommend Dr. Akins.

I don’t understand why there are so many negative reviews on here. Megan has always listened to me and has pretty much ordered any test I’ve requested. She is direct and to the point which I see as a positive. I wanted a bunch of unnecessary tests for peace of mind and she tried to talk me out of it to not waste my money but said she understood if it was just for peace of mind and went ahead and ordered them. I’ve been going to her for over 2 years and she’s always helpful.

It was difficult for me to find a doctor in this area who accepted my insurance and was accepting new patients. I was a little disconcerted by the negative reviews but when I read them carefully ironically it seemed like Megan would be a good fit for me. I want a doctor who doesnt waste my time. I dont need a hand holder or someone who is going to coddle me. I dont want a doctor to check every box on the lab sheet just because without considering the cost. I want a doctor who treats me with respect and who partners WITH me as I take responsibility for MY health care. Over the past two years I have found Dr. A to be efficient receptive to input confident and thorough. If you are looking for a doctor to take control and listen to you moan for hours and order every test in the book just to cover herself legally...dont choose Dr. A. But if you are willing to be treated as an adult and want a conservative approach to medicine I recommend Dr. A.

Dr. Akins is arrogant and dismissive. She took it upon herself to change a medication dosage without talking to me first. When I asked her to change it she wrote it again for the wrong dosage a dosage that was double the amount and that would have had an adverse impact on my health. I pointed this out to no avail. She gave me a choice between the two. I asked her what about do no harm why would she change a medication for no medical reason? She looked at me with zero affect and then got up and left. Megan Akins is by far the worst Ive encountered.

I am seeking a primary care physician and went to Dr. Akins twice. The first visit seemed rushed but I decided to give her a second chance. The second visit was worse. She was dismissive with my health concerns. I was there for a physical and she barley spent any time in the room. Further if I had not complained of pain in my abdomen she would not have ordered labs. I thought labs were very common for a first time physical. I will not go back to Dr. Akins and I would advise anyone else to avoid her as well.

Ive been a patient for a while but have finally had enough. She is an incredibly unhelpful doctor spends about 5 minutes in the room with you and on more than one occasion has just ignored me when Ive talked to her about issues I have been having and pretended I didnt say anything at all.

Terrible physician suggested antidepressants for my 15 year old daughter when she was having menstrual issues. What? She doesnt seem knowledgable and appears to dislike her job.

I honestly felt as if she was upset that I was there

She is the worst Dr. I have seen. She has no compassion treated me like I was bothering her by being there. All I heard was that she did not know about questions I had changing dr. immediately.

Worst experience with a physician ever. Not a physician. Merely a faulty cog in a broken system. Left the office before answering all questions and left the nurse to handle things. Indicated she knew next steps but when questioned could not produce answers. HMG should consider their reputation and whether it’s worth the risk of continuing their employment of her. She is an irresponsible boxticker showing no ability to problem solve.
