Dr. Mohamed N. Akl, MD, Mesa AZ

Dont Go there! Not a good experience, Do no not recommend.
Doctor overbooks and u wait hrs, with having no water, Horrible experience.

Great results after surgery. I’m glad I got a second opinion with him. Easy appointment scheduling. Short waiting time even when the office is busy.

My PCP referred me to Dr Mohamed Akl in June, 2017 when I had a dropped bladder and prolapsed uterus. I was impressed with the Mesa office - very little wait time and the staff was incredible, especially those in the back rooms. They made me feel comfortable during the embarrassing tests and instructions.
Dr Akl also addressed my constipation, which I've had problems with for 50 years and prescribed medication that helped. He didn't encourage me to have surgery until late in 2020 when my bladder had dropped considerably more.
The surgery went just fine - Dr Akl had prepared me for the days following the surgery that might be tough - but I felt GREAT! Just a few days after surgery, when I had a bowel movement, I thought to myself ; "this is a miracle! " No more straining or bloating like in the past. To me it was a bonus - the purpose of the surgery was to keep my bladder inside my body!
I cannot thank Dr Akl enough and highly recommend him. I plan to tell my PCP just how I feel so she continues to send patients to him.

Excellent experience. Dr Akl is very knowledgeable about IC. He explained it in great details, discussed the treatment course and what to do if a flare happens.

Efficient appointment and surgery scheduling. Minimal wait times. Minimal pain after surgery. Dr. Akl is great answers questions very promptly over the portal.

Dr Akl is great. He is on top of things. The surgery experience from scheduling to recovery was great. Minimal pain and great results so far.

Great doctor. Was fast to recognize the problem and treat it. Managed to get my problem under control without going to the hospital

Dr. Akl is great. He is attentive and caring. He switched my medication to a more affordable generic type with great results.

After seeing a couple of other doctors who could not quite figure out why I was in pain and had me simply focusing on kegels, I found Dr. Akl (online research). He recognized the IC right away, put me on the regimen, and my pain went from a 9/10 to zero. It feels wonderful! Dr. Akl and his staff are kind, understanding and patient.

Dr. Aki was very professional and understanding. Gave me a diagnosis and options for treatment. Front office is a little short mannered, but the nurses in the back are amazing and caring! I would recommend going to his office for the Dr.and the nurses.they matter the most!

Let's face it, if you need Dr. Akl, you have issues that aren't fun to deal with. Having said that, not only Dr. Akl, but his whole support staff do their very best, to make you feel comfortable, while dealing with a very personal issue. I don't know the technical term for what procedure I had, but I had a hysterectomy several years ago, and now, in my 60's, needed things inside lifted.
From the first phone call, his office staff treated me like I was their favorite patient. Even though I had to redo appointments, they never made me feel like I was putting them out. On the contrary, they were always happy and friendly!
Dr. Akl, himself, was very gentle, and caring. Made me feel comfortable from the 1st appointment. I loved that they give you a folder, with his credentials and a list of all your appointments and dates and times.very helpful!
I wasn't happy about having to go to Shea Blvd.for the surgery, (Piper Surgical Ctr.) But I can honestly say, that should I ever need any other surgeries, I would choose that facility, totally worth the drive from Mesa.
From the check in to the Pre-Op and the Post OP the staff there was upbeat and friendly and couldn't say enough about how great Dr. M. Akl was, and also mentioned that his Brother was great as well. When you are going under the knife in a few minutes, it was comforting for the nurses preparing you for surgery, to be telling you how lucky you are to have Dr. Akl. They said that he is a great Dr.and ALL his patients have a great recovery! Very comforting.
Also, the surgical team that Dr. Akl uses, well, I can't say enough. I have had several other unrelated surgeries with other Dr. 's, and I have had issues with the Anesthesia. I would be so sick afterwards, throwing up, and then on some occasions, nauseous for over a month. Even though I was taking anti nauseous meds I lost 15 lbs. I actually dreaded the month after surgery more than the surgery itself! I told this to the Anesthesiologist just before surgery, he said he had a plan, and thought he could help. After the surgery, I was fine, no Nausea and actually gained weight in the next month, (too much comfort food) :) And.he actually hand wrote down what he gave me during surgery, and handed it to my husband, so if I have any future surgeries, they will know what to give me! I know, shocking! Very impressive!
After surgery, they went the extra mile to make sure you would be well prepared upon arrival home!
I think this says a lot about a Dr. When he provides such a great atmosphere for your surgery, and cares about your emotional well being as well!
I took flowers and pie into his office post op. I've never done that before.like I said at the beginning of this review.given the nature of the issue, Dr. M. Akl and his entire staff and surgical center couldn't have made any more effort for my comfort, recovery, and well being! I'm doing great! I would highly recommend!

Duane is spouse. I am Margie Wilkins-9-11-47
Post surgery 3 1/2 months I am well and experiencing a great benefit in both bowel and bladder function. No leaking urine except if overly full; postpone, and then sneeze and only occasionally.

Horrible experience with this doctor. Terrible bedside manner. After a surgical procedure to a very sensitive area, the sutures opened up and he advised and encouraged a revision surgery, although in his medical notes he lied and said he advised against it, I have the notes. Then the sutures from the revision opened up again and I was left with a botched procedure with no options to fix it because the tissue was so damaged. Now I am disfigured and in constant pain. He failed me and get no compensation for being permanently physically damaged.

I am very pleased with the results of my surgery. I can actually get up and walk to the restroom without leaking. Today I went shopping and had the urge, but waited about a half and hour before I did anything about it. It is a joy not to be leaking all the time or have to plan a stop every hour or two to use the restroom. I put off this surgery for 3 years as I didn't want another surgery but the results are tremendous! Thank you, Dr. Akl>

Dr. Akl performed my surgery in Sept. 2018. He was always courteous and professional and my surgery was successful at helping with my issues. Dr. Akl was also highly regarded at the hospital where my surgery was performed. Dr. Akl's staff was always friendly and responsive to any of my needs and questions. I highly recommend AZ Urogynocology.

I highly recommend Dr. Mohamed Akl. His professionalism, quality care, and companionship is above and beyond the average Doctor. He takes his time on each patient to ensure each proceedure is done with accuracy and quality. When it comes to gentleness, and empathy he holds himself to a high level. He was a blessing to me and I want to just thank him for being an outstanding Doctor.

Sat in waiting area for 1 hour without being seen. Maybe Dr. Akl is a great provider, but I'll never know.

He is an amazing specialist, so knowledgeable. He explains everything thoroughly. My surgery went well and recovery was far quicker than I anticipated. I highly recommend this doctor and this office. The are amazing!

There are thousands of women who have problems with bladder leakage it's the most unpleasant feeling to have. I didn't want to be that women wearing diper underwear.
Dr. Akl office staff are very professional and treat you with the utmost respect.
Dr. Mohamed Akl was a God send. Hes a nononce Dr.he listens, he advises and he takes care of the problem. Would I recommend Dr. Akl. YES!
I'm feeling like my old self again. Thank you

I have nothing but high praise for Dr. Mohammed Akl and his team! I was totally unfamiliar with the issues I was facing. Because of his caring ways and understanding of my apprehension and concern, Dr. Akl gave me the assurance I needed to know I was doing the right thing at the right time! All of his assistants created an environment that helped to ease my fear and give me encouragement. I am doing quite well since surgery, and appreciate the opportunity to share my experience in hopes it will help and support other women with pelvic issues. Thank you again Dr. Akl!
