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 first visit with Dr Akram was this afternoon Wednesday May 29th., Dr Akram diagnose me with Asthma. He performed a series of exams, ask me several questions. Spent adequate amount of time to evaluate my Health issue. Dr wrote prescription's & has referred me for injections, then return In July for PFT. Only disappointment was Dr Akram 'Bed Side Manner', He was all business!! I am grateful to him for his diagnosis, treatment. Thank You Dr Akram

Excellent physician!
My pcp didn’t know why my breathing & sleep were so bad. Dr. Akram figured out the problem & worked out an action plan for me & new meds. He keeps digging until he finds the problem. I knew he could help. Best pulmonary & sleep doc I have had. Sometimes wait times are long, but, take into consideration the types of patients he treats. Your appointment is as long as it needs to be to help you.

Excellent Pulmonologist
I honestly don't know how anyone could give Dr Zahid Akrim a bad review! I have seen him 3 times this year. He has, each and every time, taken his time, listened to me with interest & intent, did a thorough exam, ran the appropriate tests and followed up exams were in complete detail, leaving me with no questions and completely informed! In addition, the girl at the desk is ALWAYS polite, helpful, even on the phone! I would and do recommend them 100% without hesitation! Tammy K.

Dr. Zahid M Akram runs an excellent pulmonology and sleep medicine office. He is very knowledgeable in his field, asks excellent questions in understanding the health of his patients, and analyses the data to provide an evaluation and instructions that are easy to understand. When I visit, I have the impression that he cares about my overall health, not just the sleep apnea that he is helping me to manage. He takes a tough love approach with his advice; but he wants his patients to have the best possible results. I trust his opinions and guidance.
