Patient Reviews
Mar 31, 2024
Dr. Akhtar took me in immediately after being seen by my primary doctor. Dr. Akhtar went over the EKG and scheduled a cath to be done asap. So thankful Dr. Akhtar was so vigilant in getting the cath done. He then transferred me to UNC CH where triple bypass surgery was done. I would highly recommend Dr. Akhtar.
