Dr. Akhtar has one of the most caring way of explaining our situation to us. His “bedside mannor” is amazing, make us fully understand how his team determined our diagnosis. Just an amazing person.

The doctor carefully reviewed the results of the exams, asked about the medications I was prescribed, examined me physically, explained how to better take care of my mental health, and guided me on the procedure to follow to obtain physical therapy. He is careful and made sure I understood what he was telling me.

Dr. Akhtar reminds me of my father, someone who wants to help find and explain things in a way that makes a lot of sense. Also helps that Dr. Akhtar is so attentive and observant and his smile and enthusiasm help, too.

Dr. Aktar took the time so explain everything slowly and made sure I understood all the information. He was very kind and answered all my questions. He showed me the results of my EMG and went over what the purpose of it was and what the results meant. All options of treatment were gone over throughly and gave me options and what steps to take now and from when I go back for another followup in four months.
