Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible Experience
Doctor Linus just rushed into visiting me, looked like not caring much and just wanted to finish the visit. It was for our annual, later we found out the lab result wasn't good but we didn't hear anything from him. Very disappointing and NOT recommended.

Poor quality visit through teledoc. I saw Linus. He didn’t seem to care and rushed through the appointment.

One of the worst doctors I have ever spoken to. He hung up on me while I was trying to get help. Seems like he doesn't care. He should be fired, no doctor should ever hang up on a patient.

Tried using Teledoc for a sinus infection. I got Linus. The app said he was reviewing my chart, then it eventually said he was ready to call me. Never called me, I double checked I didn't have anonymous caller blocking, and i always get anonymous calls anyway. I stayed with my phone the while time waiting a good 45minutes. He told TeleDoc that I didn't pick up. He just never bothered calling. Waited another 20 minutes until another doc reviewed my information and she promptly called me. Dr. Linus Akamangwa just straight up refused to call.

I was scheduled to meet with Dr. Akamangwa today through Teledoc about some abnormal discharge. He was really attentive and efficient. He let me know what he's prescribing, why, and asked if I had any other questions. I'd would visit with him again!

I had Dr. Akamangwa video call me through Teladoc. I told him how my eardrum is swelling and that I can’t hear things well. He looked at angrily and asked “Am I ok?” I said, yeah. There’s no pain.” He then didn’t speak for about 30 seconds and looked at me really pissed off. So I asked him “So, what’s next?” Since he wouldn’t speak. He then hung up on me and put my call back in the que for another doctor. This was my experience. It was really awkward and weird.

Visited with this guy about a sinus infection. Instead of antibiotics he proscribed prednisone, which is an immune inhibitor, the main side effects is that it lowers your ability to fight infection. A horrendously bad doctor

Terrible Doctor - refuses to prescribe antibiotics or explain diagnosis. One of those "it's just a virus doctors"... as he goes back to playing video games alone

I found Dr. Akamangwa to be personable, with a great chair side manner. Very attentive to my daughter who is not a fan of doctors. When looking for a doctor for her, these characteristics are very important. I was sorry to see him leave the Bendix location
