Mar 19, 2023
I am now 32…and let me tell you straight up…as a child in and out of the hospital most of my childhood years no one could tell my parents what was wrong with me. Honestly, to this day my parents literally thought I wasn’t going to make it. Low and behold, Dr Akhter and his team in blue jumpsuits (yes, as a kid I remember this clear as day as I couldn’t even lift my head at age 7) ran into my room and transferred me to Dr Akhters care team. The longest ambulance ride of my life, literally….coughing all the way there. After being seen by doctor, he promised my parents under his care I would be home within two weeks. And he was right on with his care. No other breathing issues since then. However, he always told me even as an adult if I had issues, to always come see him! Oh! And don’t forget to be sure your kiddos bring a joke for him every visit!! ????He loves it! ???? THANK YOU Dr Akhter!!!! You are the best!!! Lori Demonbreun
