Patient Reviews
Feb 15, 2023
I entered the emergency entrance of Centerpoint Hospital here in, Independence, Mo, on the 27th Jan, 2023. I was suffering a massive gallbladder attack combined with severe Pancreatitis. I was told after I'd checked in that if I'd been two hours later checking in with them, I would have coded. I had no idea that my gallbladder and pancreas had been under severe inflammation for many years. I almost died. They set me up for surgery to remove my gallbladder. I was fortunate enough to get Dr. Shaan Akhtar. He did such a great job for me that now, two weeks after surgery, I'm feeling the best I've felt in a plethora of years! God bless this man for being the excellent surgeon that he is. If you hope to get someone who will not only do things right, but do them compassionately and perfectly, look no further. This man saved my life.....period! I'll be forever grateful that I had the fortunate experience of having him as my surgeon. Kudos to you, Dr. Akhtar! Thank you so much!!!
