Kari Ake is actually a Nurse Practitioner, but I felt more confident talking with her than I had in my whole ordeal of going from doctor to doctor to talk my medical woes. I was suggested as a candidate for surgery, but once I explained my fears to her about the surgery, and whether or not the risks outweighted the benefits, she gave me information about what to do to avoid it. She went into great detail about what I needed to do, explained it in a way that I could understand and was very thorough and gentle during the exam. This is a top notch medical professional and I feel that the Surgical Associates of NorthWest FL are a better place for her presence. If I do indeed need surgery in the future, they will certainly be who I visit.
