I was a Patient of Dr. Akbari's several years ago. Mine was not a usual case due to a somewhat rare skin condition called Ehlers Danlos. Under his care, I had rectal surgery and a colonoscopy. I wish I knew where he was since I believe the majority of Doctors would mess this up. After having 2 surgeries - not colon related, here in Rhode Island both repeated, I would not trust anyone but Dr. Akbari with even a colonoscopy let alone a few stitches..... Anyways, thanks to Dr. Akbari, his work has proven invaluable to the highest degree.

This doctor is rude and insensitive to the emotional state of his patients. I was in tears after receiving life altering news and I was told by this doctor to basically get over it and make a decision. He has no patience. He wanted me to make a snap decision about surgery. This is not a good doctor nor is MCV patient centered anymore. The wait is about 3 hours. This makes it difficult when feeling so ill.

Dr. Akbari is the finest colo-rectal surgeon anywhere. His bedside manner is the best I have ever experienced, he put me at ease despite the awkward nature of the exam. He is also brilliant and down to earth, a rare find. His skilled hands have cured my problem with no untoward effects.
