This doctor saved my life! I went to countless doctors before I was seen by Dr. Akhtar for some symptoms that other doctors blew off and told me I was all in my head. Dr. Akhtar sent me for testing and the results came back and I was diagnosed with a rare nervous system disorder that is treatable certain medications to minimize my symptoms. He never gave up on me and listened to what I knew was going on with my body that I knew wasn't right and was making me sick all the time. I have stayed with him for over 20 years now and he is the only doctor I trust to treat me. His office stays busy with long time patients who refuse to be seen by any other doctor. I now have 4 children and a very happy life that I thought when I was much younger I would never be able to have. Doctor Akhtar is the kind of person who cares about his patients and takes time to treat you rather than rush you through his office like a cookie cutter patient.
Instead of doing a pregnancy test on me, after telling the Dr. I had missed my period for 4 months and gained 10 pounds, he tried to get me to join his weight loss program. Nevermind the fact I was 5 months pregnant (only found out because of a kidney stone trip to the ER). My daughter was born with a rare genetic condition and died at the age of 26 days.
There were discrepancies on my bill, charges for medical records I never asked for and for prescriptions I never had called in, plus they would say that Medicare only reimbursed them ex. $20 when really they had been reimbursed $25, and bill me for the $5 (double dipping). His wife called me numerous times threatening me, telling me it was my duty to be his advocate and get the insurance company to straighten out the mess she made and if I didn't do that she was "going to call my Mother".
