What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Akbar is exceptional! Highly recommended. The office currently needs some help! Calls not returned, short staffed. I called 4 times to schedule my knee replacement and was sent to a voice mail that no one responded to. I had to come in and talk to Dr who put me with office manager to schedule surgery!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Waheed Akbar is a very knowledgeable and caring Dr. He understands that it is not always "go to surgery", but rather try physical therapy, and exercise first. That is very helpful, especially when there are other options. I always recommend him to anyone who is asking for that type of physician!

Jul 17, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Doctor Akbar was fast professional and honest. The condition I met with him for, I expected him to recommend surgery, which I would have went along with. He informed me that the surgery was no longer the practical or best option, instead recommending what was probably the least expensive option for treatment, which in my case was a wrist splint, massage and pain relieving ointment. I respect that kind fo honesty and integrity.
