About Dr. Akbar
Philosophy of care
I believe in patient oriented medicine care. My goal is to provide detailed education to you about your condition and help you make decisions based on most recent available medical literature and guidelines. Empathetic care and family support contributes to speedy recovery. I want to assure you and your family that I will put my best efforts in applying my skills, my experience, advancing and ever-changing technologies, and my judgment to get you back to your routine life.
Why I entered medicine
I became a doctor to help heal those who are ailing.
Community involvement
Away from patient care, I volunteer to give health education lectures to the community.
Personal interests
Outside of my work, I greatly enjoy traveling, sightseeing and spending time with my wife and three children.
