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.

My husband went to Dr. Akhtar a few weeks ago because he had severe abdominal pain on his right side. We asked the doctor if it was appendicitis and he stated It's definitely not appendicitis because the pain is too far from the appendix, which was far from the truth. He told my husband he had an infection and gave him antibiotics and a laxative. Well, later that evening we had to rush him to emergency because his appendix burst and it nearly killed him, He spent 9 days in the hospital.
