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. Akhtar was quick, very thorough, and professional with a wonderful doctor/patient rapport, answering all concerns that I had about my procedure as well as his staff being warm and friendly setting up follow up appointments to discuss the results. All done for me, the focus was on me and my health…I give a whole heart thumbs up.

P he has been my physician for over three decades. I have referred my husband, my daughter and son-in-law, and several very close friends I consider family. He is very thorough, takes pride in his ability as a doctor Wyoming an excellent bedside manner, and treats his patients with such care and respect! I think the fact that I referred those who I love dearly to him, speaks volumes!
