Doctor Akhtar listens to you. I like my primary doctor ; however, St Francis Hospital sucks if you have to spend time there after surgery or otherwise. Had surgery on March 1, 2024. A couple of the nurses were great when checking in on you, but wasn't often. One nurse found that opening a blood pressure cuff next to your head to wake you up when your asleep was funny to her I guess, as that is what she did and startled me awake. She was not friendly or asked if I needed anything. Just took vitals and left the room. Asked her to leave door open and she closed it. My door had a Fall Risk sign, but no one bothered to help me out of bed or walk with me as I was told I needed to walk. No one asked if I needed help as they passed me by in the hall while I struggled to walk. Depressing the button to get someone to come to my room took 10-15 minutes. Wonder what would have happened if I was choking on food or had fallen down trying to get out of bed. The first day, I received calls for breakfast, lunch & dinner. The following days, I had to contact the kitchen after I found that they expected me to call them, but I was not told that beforehand. You used to get daily sheets to select your meals that they would fill. The second day was breakfast at 3:00. Called the nurse at 2:15 to complain and she called them. They told her I had called at 2:00 for which I said it was 1:00 and I could read a clock. The friendliest staff were the cleaning staff. They had smiles and asked how I was doing and if I needed anything. Really? The cleaning staff? I was very displeased with St Francis. If I ever need surgery again, I will ask to have it at Stormont!

I met with Dr. Akhtar last week and I have been raving about my experience to family and friends. I was impressed by how everyone in the office welcomed me, introduced themselves and took the time to get to know me as it was my first visit. Since I had fasted, I was able to have my blood drawn before I ever left the office and had results in less than 24 hours. Highly recommend anyone needing a new internal medicine Dr to make an appointment to see Dr. Akhtar.

I’ll be moving soon, and one of the things I’m most worried about is finding a doctor as good as Dr. Akhtar. His bedside manner is probably the best I’ve ever seen for a doctor, he listens to everything you have to say, and explains everything in detail, and if you don’t understand it, he’ll explain it again. Every blood test, x-ray or MRI that I’ve had done, he notifies you through my chart. He’ll let you know if it’s normal, and if it’s not, he’ll give you directions on what the next steps might be! He’s an outstanding doctor.

Check in was easy and friendly. We arrived on time and didn't have to wait long to be seen. Nurse Rose was very nice and explained things. She was knowledgeable and able to answer questions. Dr. Akhtar was professional and caring. He talked about my health and answered all questions. He was very thorough with the checkup. Nurse Maria was taking blood and she is an expert. Leaves no marks and is very friendly.
