Dr. Akbary was very calm and mild-mannered. When he spoke, it allowed me to feel calm and confident to answer his questions, even the ones I was uncertain of. He is very knowledgeable and intelligent; I appreciated the details given as far as next steps.

This was my first visit with Dr. Akbary. I was very impressed by his professionalism and kindness. He responded to all my concerns with explanations that I could understand. Due to my high blood pressure, he provided instructions for managing my HBP with the DASH diet which I am planning to follow.

Most incompetent care I've ever received. I asked if he thinks a test should be ordered and he response was "I can order it if you want" then I said do you think it's needed and he said "I don't know" and again he made a comment that he can order it if I want, so I said "I didn't go to medical school, you did" and he got so quiet.

I really appreciate Dr. Wasel's listening abilities and ability to try different concepts. He made me cry because he is trying something else while I have been working with other doctors for the last two years and did nothing but prescribe ineffective meds. Thank you.

He shared medical information useful to me. He reduced the dosage of my medications, which was good and shows me he was thinking of his patients welfare, as an individual.

Doctor didn't address my main concerns for a complete annual check up. No test and Not much guidance about the finding of high blood pressure.

He does not have enough knowledge and don't know even the basics of healthcare. He needs to get up to date and listen and respect the patients more.

I had a Medicare Wellness visit with Dr. Akbary which was new to me. The Medicare Wellness process seems a little odd to me at this point in my life. I know it needs to address all conditions associated with aging but should probably be more targeted to each patient's specific circumstances and conditions.
