I saw Dr. Akhtar for an acute knee injury recently. I had had knee surgery 20 years ago and naturally concerned about longer term issues. Dr Akhtar gave me a long consultation, taking a detailed history, made sure all my concerns were addressed and gave me reassurance at the end that he was pretty sure of the diagnosis but was looking to confirm with scan and x-rays. I had the scans within a few days of the consultation and a follow up session with Dr. Akhtar a little over a week from the initial session. Again Dr. Akthar took the time the explain the (complex) diagnosis carefully to me using the scan images, summarised the diagnosis carefully, made sure I ynderstood and checked I was happy with his recommended course of action. This included phisio and he made sure he understood my preferences on location etc., He e-mailed the phisio within an hour of my consultation with the referral. I liked Dr Akhtar's aapproach to the consultation. He was very reassuring and I never felt rushed, he made sure I understood everything and that my concerns were addressed. His prompt follow ups (scan, phisio etc) really helped assure me that my issues would be resolved quickly.
