Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr could care less about patients needs or concerns. I am new to Richmond this practice was recommended by a friend. Waited 45 minutes past appt time to see dr. She was dressed in what looked like a hazmat suit. She didn’t listen to any of my concerns. She suggested I get the shingles vaccine and an EKG. Not sure why she thought I needed EKG since my Blood Pressure was low and I have no family history of heart disease. I hope all the doctors in this practice don’t display this lack of care.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Akbar?
One of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. Bedside manners are just plain rude. She took no interest in my issues that I was having and spoke over me when I was trying to speak further letting me know that she took no interest in my issue. I was in the room with Dr. Akbar all of 10 minutes until I was ushered by her to the lab area then out the front door. This is the second doctor at this location that I have given a low rating. That one star is for the first desk staff as they were very friendly. Please don't waste your time or money with Dr. Akbar.
