Brett Akers, DO

Originally from McDowell, Kentucky, Brett Akers, DO obtained his undergraduate degree at Alice Lloyd College in Pippa Passes, Kentucky, and his medical degree from Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine & Surgery in Iowa. He completed a urological surgery residency through Michigan State University Garden City Hospital Campus in Garden City, Michigan, before beginning his medical career in Pikeville in 2001.

With a passion for urology and a love for his home state, Dr. Akers is looking forward to sharing his extensive experience with patients in southeastern Kentucky. He says his mission in returning to Eastern Kentucky is to address any issues that play a large role in urological health and notes that he sees patients at every stage in life. 

Dr. Akers’s philosophy on patient care is that you “treat everybody like you are family. My number one thing is, treat people the way you want to be treated and the way you want your family to be treated.”
