Dr Akhtar is so knowledgeable and positive in our interactions. He is very observant and picks up the slightest changes between OFF and ON times. He was able to answer my questions about the research study and about how the process is often difficult to find participants in the window of time. Learning more about the research process was enlightening. Dr Akhtar is amazing!

Dr. Akhtar was friendly and quite interested in Dick’s condition. He asked about when conditions began, what tests he had done locally, reviewed his test results and disks, reviewed his medications, gave him physical strength tests and discussed his treatment plans and possible conditions. Appointment was for 1 3/4 hours.
