Patient Reviews

Nov 21, 2023

I am very impressed (and thankful) for the amount of time Dr. Akhtar spends with me at each visit. She takes time to explain clearly, the meaning of lab tests and scans. She addresses any current issues and always reviews my medications and asks about any new issues I may have. Last but not least--- and you would think this would be something every doctor does....but they do not--- Dr. Akhtar always listens to my heart and lungs and reviews other data collected to determine health and wellbeing. She is kind and a good listener. So glad a friend referred me to her. 10 stars !!!!!They respond in a timely manner to after hours calls as well.
