Mateen Akhtar, MD, FACC

I have have met many Doctors in the 30 years I have lived in Smithfield, NC. Doctor Matten had been one of the most compassionate and down to earth Doctors, I have met. He has been treating me for more than 10 years and I always go to his office everytime I am concerned about my heart. He listens to me and does all the testing to rule out any problem.

I went to see him about my racing heart. He dismissed me and gave me some pills like that would fix everything, the only thing that did was bring my low blood pressure down even more making my dizzy and sick. I went to the ER by ambulance and the paramedics gave me more information about my condition than him. I have atrial flutters. Go to Duke University to get proper care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Akhtar's for going on three years now. He is kind and compassionate and takes the time to make sure I understand test results, condition implications and overall care needed.

Very informative, friendly, and professional.

very kind and concerned about my wellbeing
