Dr.Aksu is very knowledgeable, professional,respectful of a patient’s concern as well as very thorough about choices of treatment.He is patient in answering any questions,informative & works with his patients to come to the best treatment plan together giving honest choices for each situation.When I see Dr. Aksu & his staff I feel that I am receiving the best possible care & plan for my recovery.They treat their patients with respect, kindness,dignity & concern for their present situation (which I was usually in a lot of pain! ).They are personable, yet professional & all work together to get you on the best course of treatment. Again,I TOTALLY TRUST Dr. Asku & his staff with my health care. Today,their performance is getting harder to come by.I would totally recommend him to someone needing quality care! Since their move last year, working through the “call center”rather than their front office desk directly has improved, but still is not the finely oiled machine that HIS office is!Patient Submitted Review

We arrived early as requested, and we’re taken back a few minutes before her appointment time.

Dr. Aksu was fantastic, he listened to & answered all of my questions, which there were many, explained everything in detail. Dr. Aksu spent more than 40 miniutes with me, & is trying non- operative options before considering possible surgery. I went to another doctor before I went to Dr. Aksu, & the doctor said as soon as they came into the examing room that I needed surgery, & that non-surgical methods would not work, & also wanted me to schedule surgery within the first 5 miniutes that I was in the room, I said "NO". Dr. Aksu is the doctor to see for orthopedic needs, he is a true gentlemen that will spend the necessary time with you, I wish I could give him more than 5 stars, he deserves more than 5 stars. If you need a quality doctor that listens to you, don't make the mistake & go anywhere else but to Dr. Aksu.Patient Submitted Review

Sr Aksu performed a spinal fusion at my L5-S1 back in 2016. After 3 years of work comp fighting the system, it was finally approved. Aksu, and his colleagues aided me in getting away from the pain meds that my PM doc had been feeding me. This a may have been the most difficult period of my life, physically. I am grateful that he and his team were the ones I chose. I am now back to work, doing things that I want to do- NOT doing work I have to accept after a work injury. I lift 60-100 pounds daily without issue. Dr Aksu and his whole crew are on the same page, their goal is to get you back to the best place. Thank you! - Ryan Cole 2016Patient Submitted Review

Absolutely love Dr. AKSU!! Explains things very very well. His comparisons so that you can understand what he is talking about are so simple, even a child can understand him. His technique is safe, antiseptic and everyone including him wears a face mask!! A sure sign of these times we will not soon forget. His injections are radiology guided so it makes sure he gets to the irritation to be injected. I would give him a 10 if it was possible. Plus he has a sense of humor!!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Aksu has been my Doctor since 2001 for my many orthopedic problems. As a former RN. I was impressed that he did not rush into surgery, he recommended conservative treatment 1st. Unfortunately I needed a lumbar surgery. After saying my entire career that I would not ever have spinal surgery, I trusted Dr. Aksu to perform the surgery. I had excellent outcome. Years later he also performed a needed cervical fusion. Dr. Aksu is highly qualified and an intelligent Physician. Good choice for allPatient Submitted Review
