I just switched to Gaston Primary this month,not only did Dr.Akhimien see me the same day for my initial appointment but he ad his staff were very helpful and when I needed an outside referral it was done INSTANTLY as I was still in the office.I have just switched my husband and children to them.It was a small comfortable atmosphere with the true "family doctor" feel..Dr.Akhimien sat in the room with me for awhile explaining my situation and never once made me feel like he was rushed.
