Doctor Paul is the best I have been seeing him since I moved here to MD I am originally from WNC and my mental health has struggled for several years and doctor Paul listens and cares and pts attention to my needs and concerns and suggestions about my care and we always come up with a mutual decision on what’s best for my needs. He is always willing to help me and goes way beyond his “job title “ to make sure I am comfortable with what healthcare I receive

Lest week I was going though very hard times he helped me get thorough it. Dr Paul is a wonlderful doctor.

Sandra L • October 29, 2025

From setting up my 1st appt to seeing Dr. Ackah for the first time, everyone was professional & polite. I was in a unique situation where I needed a last minute appt with a new provider so I could fill my medication quickly. The receptionist helped me make it happen ASAP! All my telehealth appts are on time, efficient, & comfortable. Ive never felt judged, influenced, or like I wasn’t taken seriously as I have in the past with other providers. No struggle to refill meds like I have in the past!

Madeline D • October 16, 2025

Highly recommend Dr. Paul and Kema health services. Despite continuing medication through a primary care provider I hadn't been to a psychiatrist in almost 20 years. I was incredibly anxious about finding the right person to talk to and someone that could help me with my lifelong struggles. Kema was the 1st place I tried and in just a few visits with Dr. Paul I am feeling the best I have in years. He and his staff are very friendly, easy to communicate with and make me feel very comfortable

Gregory V • September 03, 2025
