Dr Acra was great! He listened patiently, asked questions, and addressed all my concerns. The visit never felt rushed. He discussed options for testing and allowed collective decision making.

I was amazed at Dr. Acra's patience and careful consideration of every one our concerns. He spoke directly to my adolescent daughter, and was patient with her as she fumbled through potential appointment times for her endoscopy so that she would not miss her classes at school. His evaluation was thorough and thoughtful. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
