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.

I seen Dr. Akkad because I was having heart pains after having Covid. I felt that he was thorough and quite experienced. I didn’t feel rushed, he and his PA listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. They both were kind and upbeat. I would recommend his doctor for sure.

Three month follow-up to my visit and all he did was listen to my heart and lungs and then tell me to come back in a year. When I pointed out the nurse took my BP and it was still 150 over 80 he looked surprised (yet he just read the chart), took it himself and confirmed, and told me I need a new medication right away. To top it off, he mis-wrote the prescription and the pharmacy couldn't fill it. These guy needs to try a little harder. :/

Excellent and to the point. My referral was from my primary physician, who is also a patient. Dr. Akkad is brief, yes, but elaborates when necessary. I feel confident in his care.

Does not spend to much time with you in clinic. Had a procedure done, during my procedure waited in preop for 3 hours and then he talked to me for about 1 min after my test and then to my husband in the waiting room for 30 seconds. I sent several portal messages and phone calls with a week passing before it was ever reached out to. At this point I had already scheduled an appointment with a different cardiologist!

Waited 4 hours for my 20 minute test. Saw him for 10 seconds after the test. Don't even want to give 1 star but the system makes me. That is very rude of a doctor to make a patient wait. A nurse even told me he puts more on his plate then he can chew.
