Dr. Akhtar Hossain, MD

He saved my life...point blank

I have been a patient of Dr. Hossain for few years now and I can't thank him enough for helping me overcome my depression. He was not the first doctor I was seeking help and I am so grateful that I found him because he cares and he listens and he is extremely knowledgeable.

He gives my brother the wrong medicine for his bI polar even though he abuses it.

Dr. Hossain is awesome. I have been seeing him for more than 3 years and he has helped me through a lot of hard times..he doesnt force medication on you, he tries to help you cope by yourself but also is aware of chemical imbalancements and when you DO need meds. I wouldnt trade him for the world. Hes extremely knowledgable and easy to talk to as well.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hossein's for almost 11 years. He is an excellent doctor. He has seen me at all stages of my bipolar and addiction and has helped me every step of the way. He even came to the hospital to see me when I had pnuemonia. He has always recommended that I stay on my medication and has adjusted them several times when I was feeling up or down, one way or the other. I went to him one time when I was suicidal. He told me to come to him office immediately. He talked me down and put things back to normal for me because he is smart, dedicated and a real great doctor. I will continue to see him as my doctor in spite of the negative things I read on here. He is the best. He has saved my life.

Stay away, if you know someone who was lost while in his care, because they never got better, only worse, please contact NJ attorney general to start asking questions.

The doctor is okay but his office staff consists of one secretary who is the rudest, nastiest, arrogant and unprofessional woman I have ever met. She will hang up on you and not tell the doctor you called, even when you express that it's a very urgent, medication related issue that requires speaking with him

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone, even if it was someone that I disliked greatly. I would never subject anyone to the way that he had made me feel. I went to him for help with my severe depression and anxiety and instead of even acknowledging that I was depressed. He informed me that he has seen many patients and that I in fact was not depressed. I told him I felt like not existing. I don't feel like he listens to me, but instead is in a race to write out my eight scripts as fast as possible and get me out of the office so he can move onto the next person. Anyone who thinks that they are being helped by him are being easily fooLed by his cheesy fake smile. There was a time when I thought that he was this, but I realize this is all just a superficial act for him to smile, nod and get money. My advice is do not see this man. He made me feel worse than I already was feeling.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hossian's for almost 5 years now. He has helped me through some really hard times in my life and I'm grateful for that. Getting an appointment is always easy, I hardly ever have to wait and my visit isn't hours long like some! As far as others are saying about him being a "drug dealer" I don't find that to be true at all! He is always encouraging me to take less medication. I don't agree with the negtive comments but everyone is entitled to have there own opinion! I personally would recommend him to anyone, he is a great dr.

Dr. Hossain was very friendly and helped me understand what I was going through. He is very down to earth and I left his office with an assurance that ...
