Dr. Saleem Akbar, MD

They only verify insurance the day before the appointment. I waited two months to get an appointment only to be called the day before and told that he is out of network. The person who called was Annali, she was abrupt in her manner and not helpful. She told me I would have to pay 3 co pays on the day of my appointment as they were doing three services. I do not do this for any other specialist that I see. so now I have to search for another cardiologist after two months of waiting for this one. Good luck getting to see the Doctor if you get past the horrible staff.

Excellent

Dr Akbar listens and is very compassionate. Always explains things until you are comfortable. He provides thorough screening and quickly follows up with test results. Been going to him for 20 years and has helped my husband and I through several health crises.

Dr. Saleem Akbar is one of the best PHYSICIAN I ever met. Very experienced I very much trust him. God bless him.

DR AKBAR IS THE Nicest, MOST COMPASSIONATE PHYSICIAN I KNOW! LOVE DR.AKBAR

Dr Akbar has been treating my husband and I for years. He is very understanding and listens to your medical issues. He is never in a hurry and takes time to listen to you, even if you don't think it's important, if it bothers you he wants to hear it. We would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Akbar to others.

Best doctor for me for over 19 years. Truly listens and works from his heart. I always would go to him if I didn't trust another doctors word. Thank you always dr. Akbar.

I had Triple Bypass Surgery three years ago and needed a second opinion on the high volume of drugs I was on. The two blood thinners for a year was making me bruse easily.Dr Akbar ran three in office test an said they weren't necessary and Removed them from my medication list and gave me a positive outlook on my life ??.

I have known Dr. Akbar for many years. He treated my mother in law back in 2005 and he was the most kind Dr. I have ever met. His bedside manners are the best and he has compassion. My mother in law moved here from New York and was having a hard time getting her insurance changed over, she needed to be under a cardiologist asap, we went to several Dr. and they wouldn't even see her until her insurance could get straight, Dr. Akbar was so nice to see my mother in law and continue for months taking care of her without insurance. I can assure you, he is the best Cardiologist in town. He treated my mother in law with dignity and respect at all times. With that being said, my husband and I both see Dr. Akbar. We tell people about him and his practice all the time, he has always remain the same, gentle kind hearted person. Thank you so much Dr. Akbar

I went to him twice in 6 years and both times I have received exceptional treatment from him and his staff. Caring and positive person and I got instant appointment after I mentioned my urgency

Best doctor I've ever had. Saved my life and my father's life. A true humanitarian!

I have been a patient since 2009, Dr. Akbar and his staff have helped me through the trauma of being a terminal cancer patient with uncurable esophageal cancer and the latest diagnosis of Trigeminal neuralgia, the most excruciating pain known to mankind has almost sent me over the top. I simply could not have lived this long without this kind, caring and compassionate medical provider.

I have seen him over a nine year period, only to end up in the emergency room and then have an emergency room doctor tell me what is going on. Dr. Ackbar has never taken any blood work in 9 years. He said the other day that he wanted me take the Z-Pack antibiotic, Wich comes with a warning label..... Paient's with an underlying heart condition...... States it can cause lethal cardiac fibrillation, yet he said it was fine for me to take when in fact I have mitro valve prolapse and extra beats.

Dr. Akbar is kind-hearted, a humble human being, and the best doctor! He is always friendly, speaks frankly yet shows empathy about your condition or situation. He is not only my cardiologist; he treats me for most of my medical needs. He truly cares about his patients, and sets the standard for the profession. I have been in his care for over 6 years and have always had a good experience. My family would recommend Dr. Akbar to everyone. He is the most knowledgeable in his field.

I have been in his care for 3 years, he is extremely caring and knowledgeable. I could not possibly recommend him more. He is the greatest!

Dr. Akbar cared for my mother and her heart for almost a year. When she was in the hospital, he would explain things to us in ways we would understand, and would draw diagrams for us to help us how the heart should work and how my mother's was working. He gave my mother amazing care. After she passed away, he help my family deal with the aftermath of the process.

I am afraid he switched me from Bystolic to Byvalson for a reason other than medical reasons.

Doctor Akbar came to assist in my diagnosis in the hospital this past weekend and he is the most professional, dedicated doctor I have ever dealt with. Even though my illness was not heart related he came back and checked on how I was doing. Great Doctor.

Dr. Akbar is one of the most professional and caring Cardiologists in the North Texas area. He is also board certified in Internal Medicine and has excellent training in some of best and busiest hospitals in the Northeast. I am thankful to have him here in Allen, TX.
