Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent doctor
Dr Akhtar is very caring to the children and family and always explains her diagnosis and treatment plain. If you call her with a question or emergency she responds right away. She has taken care of my grandchildren and great grandchildren with the best medical care. And we are so glad to have her for the children’s doctor

I love Dr. Akhtar! We have seen her for 19 years, with my 2 kids. She always spends time chatting with them and addresses any concerns of theirs or mine (mother). I would highly recommend her!
