Saya Akkad, MD
Palo Alto
Doctor of Medicine, a common medical school degree for physicians. MDs at One Medical typically specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics or pediatrics.
I enjoy guiding patients on their journeys toward optimal health. I collaborate with patients, help them establish clear goals, and support them in making healthy lifestyle choices. In my free time, I enjoy relaxing with a mug of hot tea and a good book.
I stay healthy by hiking and practicing yoga. I also volunteer as a fitness instructor for a local senior center and as a nutritionist with Cooking Matters, an organization that helps families shop and cook healthy meals on a budget.
