A Few Words From Our Patients...

"Dr. Akhtar has hands which are a gift from God."

Shaun Parvez

"I have been following Dr. Akhtar for nearly 14 years. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for his compassion, understanding, patience, personality, hand skills, knowledge, confidence, attitude, listening skills, and humor. He has always been aware of specific circumstances to fine tune his treatment for me. Very professional, and friendly staff also."

Dessislava Petrova

"Dr. Akhtar has treated me for various foot and ankle issues as well as surgically repaired my left ankle. I can say that his knowledge and expertise in this field greatly surpasses other podiatrists in the area. He is at the forefront of the latest medical advancements that he utilizes when and if surgery is needed/chosen.  He is a professional, thoughtful, and passionate individual aside from being a physician.  His office is sheek, modern, and clean.  Additionally, his office personnel is accommodating and professional.  Therefore, I highly recommend Dr. Akhtar for anything pertaining to podiatry issues."

Cory Deak

"Dr. Akhtar diagnosed a long-standing issue that was not being identified here in the UK. I was so impressed that I flew to the US for treatment with him. I can not express in words the professionalism and high-class care that he provided, right through to my full recovery. I recommend and trust him completely."
