Jul 25, 2023
Dr Akhter performed heart bypass on me last September after suffering 7 heart attacks. Amazing is an understatement as he explained in a way we understood my diagnosis & what he intended to do to fix me. Now 10 months later everyone we know is Amazed that they cannot see my scar & that I look so well. My response is Always that I had a wonderful Surgeon & lots of support.
