Patient Reviews
May 18, 2023
Dr Akhtar was highly recommended to me for an endoscopy after a hospital stay revealed problems with my liver and biliary duct. You will find him to be likeable, empathetic and patient in discussing your case and you can be confident in his abilities. As the date for my endoscopy neared, my condition got worse, including visible jaundice. What started out to be an investigative procedure to determine the extent of my liver damage immediately required a stent to restore the flow in my biliary duct. Through the stent, he restored the biliary duct into working order and brought my liver back to life. It bought me the time needed to arrange more extensive liver surgery that is upcoming. Thank you Dr Akhtar - Highly recommended!
