"He is very unprofessional & not knowledgeable. He has horrible bedside manner! He wanted to do more lab testing which was all done less than 3 months ago with no explanation of why we needed it done. When asked a question about nutrition his response was I’m a doctor I diagnosis & prescribe! Wanted my mom to check blood sugars & blood pressure but would not provide an order for glucometer or BP cuff along with no ranges to be notified so directed us to primary doctor to manage. There are soooo many other things about him I don’t have the space to type. He will make appointments regularly for no reason & no process in your treatment plan. You have to follow up with him on any paperwork that needs to be completed. He will not forward medical records to other treating providers even primary with a ROI. Please, Please, Please do not go to him. You will be highly disappointed."

"I had a phone consultation with Dr Akhter regarding extremely disturbing test results for my mother. When he disputed the test results (from which I was reading); I responded “have you seen her spine, her feet, her hands?” he replied please send him pictures. I complied immediately. I NEVER received a response from him and approximately 4 weeks later he sent a final report to her primary care physician which provided no guidance for ongoing medical care. My mother who HAD seen Dr. Ahktar 10 years prior but was preoccupied taking care of her husband with a more serious medical condition quipped “well I guess that’s why I never went back to him.” Save your time and money. Just because he’s the only “rheumatologist” in the area only indicates that he probably can’t get a job anywhere else. Possibly the worst excuse for medical care I have EVER experienced."
