Zaher Akkad, M.D. - Affiliated Cardiologists of AZ

I have been followed in this clinic for 10 of this medical care! Dr. Akkad is excellent anc caring! I have been seeing Katie who is thorough in her history taking and her examination. She remembers who you are and she genuinely cares about you! Great place for cardiology!

I have never been to a cardiologist up to now. I am 70. The stress test was very new to me. The people involved with different things that i had to do, they were very friendly and very knowledgeable. They explained everything before i started each thing. I find that very refreshing. Them knowing that i didnt know anything about any of the tests as well as, what the reason was pertaining to my problem. So bottom line is i felt comfortable and im glad that people there seem to really like their job.

Although we have not discovered the issue I'm finding your office seems to be very involved are taking steps to resolve issues (s)

Dr. Akkad and Katie have been my doctors for many many years. I feel that I always get the best care possible possible from both of them I’m comfortable I can talk to them they respond and they take their time with me. They’ve also taken care of my husband, whom has17 stents, my husband was in a very serious situation with his heart and I feel that Dr. Akkad and Katie have brought him back to the person he was. He is healthy and doing well now…. I would definitely, with a big YES
would recommend Dr. Akkad and Katie. They are awesome.

I don’t want to leave the staff off of this review because Daisy was awesome. She got my referral to the doctor in time for me to see him I didn’t have to cancel because my doctor dropped the ball so the staff is very kind and helpful.

Dr Akkad can come off a lil abrasive at times but he means well and makes sure you understand the seriousness of having a heart condition he's not there to sugar coat or waste his time it's a team effort

I had recently had an ER visit with a 1st time heart issue. The ER sent me to their doctor for a follow up to the ER visit. On that follow up the doctor left me feeling like I was not getting good care. I felt scared and not taken care of. I found Dr. Akkad through research. He had great ratings. Now I Know Why - He was awesome.wonderful.and made me feel WELL TAKEN CARE OF. He is my doctor and I am very thankful to have found him. PLUS - his staff is very caring. Everyone there took their time with me and paid attention.

Dr. Akkad and Katie Minor are the best. They listen and answer my questions calmly. I don't feel that I have to rush in and out of my appointment as other practices tend to do. I am trusting my life to them and I don't have any misgivings as to my care. Thank you both very much!

Dr. Akkad saved my life after a heart attack and has provided excellent monitoring and care ever since.

Awesome office staff, very friendly and knowledgeable work ethic is great, Awesome nurse practitioner Katie, knows her stuff, I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

The scheduling is a problem, no reason for me to wait close to an hour to be seen…

The schedule issue occurred in the past, perhaps over 3 years so must have been a busy time. I’ve not had that issue again. Dr. Akkad n Katie are very responsive provide clear description of my needs. All good, great experience when I attend my visits.

I love coming to my appointment with Katie Minor. I truly love the care, I receive from the entire staff and I am encouraged to reach my health goal daily.

Dr. Akkad and Katie Miner are wonderful. They take the time to address all your issues. I look forward to my cardiac appoints. I do recommend this office.

Katie Minor is the absolute sweetest, consistent, educated care about your well being PA that you can ask for. We have been connected for 10y plus and I am at my very best today at 51 years strong because she didn’t give up on me along with the help
Of Abrazo Heart Hospital I must add! Finally got my prescriptions on point with no defeating side effects. Blessed I can still be productive, healthy and HAPPY!

I don’t remember the crisis I went through at all. But what I do remember is the office visit with the Dr and PA both of which impressed me. That is hard to do as I have been a practicing Cath lab nurse since 1988. I have interacted with many providers. Dr Akkad and his PA Katherine are among the best. Sincerely, Thank you for life R. Polillo RN BSN

Katie Minor is the best PA in any health care practice. She is extremely caring and knowledgeable. She never rushes you through an appointment and always makes sure all your questions are answered before you leave.

I've received nothing but the best care from this office. And referred my son and daughter in law to this office as well.

Dr Akkad has been my cardiologist for almost 16yrs. Dr Akkad saved my life. I am so grateful for him & his staff and will continue.
