"Dr. Akhtar performed a heart cath on me. He is professional, personable and very knowledgeable... He listens and takes the time to address my problems. He’s the best in his field!"
— Vitals"I was never notified or sent a letter... I had to scramble to get a new cardiologist, and they have not been able to obtain my records from Dr Tombul. That is why I'm only giving him a one star rating, even though he's a brilliant cardiologist."
— Healthgrades"Dr. Alston is the best... He fixed me up and got me straightened out. I’m glad he’s here."
