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.

Will not go back.
Had follow up appointment with Dr. Akhtar, after being released from hospital, took 2 months to get into see the Dr. During my 'evaluation' Dr. Akhtar stated that there was no reason for me to be concerned with my irregular heart beat and that I could not be 'feeling' it. He stated that after double bypass surgery there was no reason for concern before 5 years. Then he proceeded to tell me I needed to train my back better so that I could ride my Airdyne more than 15 minutes a day as I was attempting to leave his office with assistance of a cane due to neurological condition in lower back.
