Dr. Akhtar is an amazing Caring physician, to the fullest extended the word. He’s both an Excellent clinician and Clearly, a researcher and scientist. I’ve never had a physician that actively networks with other physicians for the most comprehensive care for my rather unique neurological syndrome. All my medical care has been with Northwestern for the past 15 years. Dr. Akhtar Is without a doubt, the finest caregiver I have had.

Dr. Akhtar is wonderful at describing all of the details of the diagnosis. We have never had a doctor that would take the time to help us understand what we should expect in the future.
