Patient Reviews
Apr 21, 2023
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
