I’ve been calling every week to schedule my appointment now going on 3-4 weeks still no call back.
Very friendly office staff Doctor’s and Nurses are Great. My dad has been a patient of dr. Akaad for now 2yrs..
All went well I appreciate your onions and care. My right knee is swollen…I suspect it’s the Amlodipine…I will suspend taking.
My experience with Affiliated Cardiologist (Katie PA-C) was excellent!
Very poor service!! I waited two weeks for an appointment, called the day off and was rescheduled for another week. Arrived at my appointment and was not down, when they found me stated oh, you are late! We are too busy to see you…….
Was there half hour early for device check and was done before appt time and was pleased to get back home out of the heat
Kind respectful explain things clearly.
Affiliated cardiologist is a wonderful place with good doctors and technicians very knowledgeable of what they are doing I highly recommend this place to all who are having heart problems !!
Absolutely everyone I have interacted with was not only very professional, but friendly and very helpful.
My first appointment is going to well the office staff is very unorganized. And I specifically asked that I see Dr Muraka and they still scheduled me.
Brought my husband to his doctor appointment 20 minutes early but waited over 2 hours before he was called back. Once back there, he had to wait another 1/2 before he could see the doctor. Mannnn what is the world coming to when you haft to wait sooooooo long. This is why some people hate going to the doctors, unnecessarily waiting.
Care to patient was great.
Very kind caring, and beautiful smiles, and fast service.
Test results came back really good.
Great care. Efficient, modern and personable. All staff were polite and extremely professional.
They always very kind people no conplain they answer all the questions

Everything/everyone was helpful & nice.
Efficient appointment. Everyone is genuine and Dr Askari is very informative
Their employees are very helpful and friendly.
From the phone call reminder I received the night before my visit to the front and back office staff to PA Katie Minor, I couldn’t be happier with the way I was treated.
Horrible experience, waited forever and the staff is SO rude. It’s been 2months since I’ve had my heart monitor and Dr Murarka never called me with my results. I called for my results and got put on hold for a while just to be told that …
They are always very caring, capable and professional
My appointments are always pleasant and the staff are very nice 😊 …

Having unbearable heart issues, experiencing no quality of life. I can’t get the help I need, ive seen two different doctors at this office with no answers as to what is happening to me. I feel like I’m suffering in silence. 😞 …
Dr. Bashir is ALWAYS so nice and thorough! He remembers me like an individual; doesn’t have to look at my file all the time!
It was a comforting experience… I was nervous about my EKG results and the doctors made me feel like everything would be ok.
Everyone so nice and explains things in a way I understand
This was my first time there, and it was a pleasure to deal with everyone. From the people at the front desk to the lovely new appointment lady.

What a ride for insurance this was. I went to see Katie Minor PA-C to Dr. Zaher Akkad on 12/2/19 at 9am. To change my medication. So I was given 4 weeks supply of Bystolic. We will see how it goes, and look into getting you a prescription. …

Katie Minor is awesome. Listens to me, doesn’t rush, is encouraging & genuinely cares about her patients.
Excellent doctors, with great bedside manner
Katie Minor is always on top of everything. She is the best
It was a good experience. However, can someone update those horrendous documents we have to read and sign? They’ve been copied hundreds of times and have horrible font and a bit difficult to read. Just re-type those darn things.
I get a little nervous going to the cardiologist but with the wonderful helpful staff and Doctors it makes the visit so much easier and comfortable
I can’t thank Katie Minor enough for keeping me healthy and getting me back on track.
My mom is 81 years old, uncontrolled high blood pressure, AFIB, oblation, and tons of other medical conditions. She’s been seen by many doctors and cardiologists and she continued to experience contraindications and issues with meds and in …
Very friendly answer to all my question, doing all kind of testing before anything.
Getting someone on the phone is a nightmare! First time I called was asked if I could hold and after twenty minutes nobody came back. I hung up and called again only to be placed on hold for another thirteen minutes thentransfered and held for another ten minutes
I have always been treated with respect and care. Awsome facility. Almost two years now after a tripple bypass. Thank you to Dr. Bashir and staff.

Always outstanding, very knowledgeable and friendly.
The Dr are very friendly. And explain things clearly
Everyone is very nice. I would love to give them 5 stars but the wait time (even in exam room) needs to be reviewed.
Had a televisit with Katie on Thursday, December 2nd. News provided was great, and she was very supportive as well as explaining everything thoroughly. I had a couple of questions at the end which she answered ver well.
Thank you for your time to answer my basic questions and your concern of my heart being .

I came in here various times, the nurse and doctor were great, however the reception, oh lord I’m not sure how they still have Gracie I believe was her name. She was very belligerent, especially with all the older folks when they have a …
If I could only have one doctor in the world this would be the one. Everything is timely, Everyone is kind. There is always time for questions. There is always concern about all your health issues and not just the part they deal with directly. I could go on and on. Just love them.
After my blood thinner refill was denied I tried calling for 2 days to make an appointment or speak to the medical assistant, never reached anyone and left 4 messages. Since this isnt a medication you can just stop for fear of a stroke I …

Katie Minor, Dr. Akkad’s PA is amazing. She listens and has great ideas and theories. She communicates well and is very helpful. Highly recommend stir Minor and Dr Akkad.
Katie is a true gem and a pleasure to see at every visit. Reception/ scheduling can be a bit hard to get a hold of, only reason I’m not rating a 5.
I felt comfortable and they were both informative.
I understand medical offices run late but don’t just let your patients sit and wonder if they are ever going to be seen. Have the courtesy to say something simple like ” I’m sorry, we are running a little behind, we haven’t forgotten about …
Very good follow up with Katie. She is quite thorough and answered all my questions.
They always go above and beyond for me.
The staff is helpful and listens and responds to all my concerns.
