Dr. Tahira Akram, MD, Pomona CA

Was referred by Dr. Monica who was fantastic doctor. When I got here Dr Akram was very very pushy about me having a c-Section since my last one (14 yrs ago) was c-section. I strictly told her I wanted to have a natural birth as there were not specific reasons for us to do C-section. She insisted that was a better choice for the baby but never gave me a specific reason. She only wanted to do it because it’s more money for her. I never let her intimate me and always told her no at every visit. I understood that if anything went wrong during vaginal birth and had to do c section I was ok with that. Nurses in the front are nice but the main back nurse doesn’t even greet you. Doesn’t take your blood pressure and just writes anything on your chart. Confronted her about it and made her retake it. Also clinic is not so nice and clean. Wouldn’t go here again

Worst doctor I’ve ever encountered. Wait times are ridiculous, staff is unfriendly, doctor seems unknowledgeable despite alleged years of experience. My concerns were overlooked and I was brushed off. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else.

Doctor Akram is the best out there! She delivered all 3 of my babies with the best care for them and myself. She always reassured me on any questions or concerns I had and really made me feel heard, I highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Akram for taking care of me!

She is one of the worst doctors that I have ever seen, stay away from her. I delivered to other kids with other doctors and this doctor has definitely been the worst one. She put me and my baby at risk during delivery. She does not care about her patients, she only cares about how much she getting paid. She is heartless and racist. She always in a hurry and not give to patient the time to express and answer question

Had the worst experience at this office. The doctor and her medical assistant are RUDE/TERRIBLE. Dr is super condescending and actually made me cry. The office is literally falling apart/ outdated not clean. Super ghetto. If youre looking for a pleasant experience please stay away from this place. I must note that the only positive thing about this place was the front desk staff, very sweet girls had to give them credit.

Absolutely worst experience we have ever had a physicians office. My pregnant wife was referred here from Advanced woman’s clinic who is fantastic. However here was nothing but the opposite.

We arrived 5min early for our 9am appointment and the doors were locked, so us along with about 9 other people waited outside. Once we were in we were in the waiting room for over an hour without being seen. I was then kicked out of the waiting room as per their policy “no men allowed in the waiting room”? I’m not talking the exam room but like the actual waiting room, instead suggesting I wait outside in a hot car.

My wife doesn’t speak English well, especially when it comes to medical terms, and relies on me to typically translate into Portuguese.

We called advanced women’s clinic back and they were so kind to arrange another appointment with a different OB-GYN.

Love Dr. AKRAM always very polite and day of delivery she was there on time to deliver my baby girl, office is small but with good service, she also reminds me of princess Diana for some reason

Dr. Akram lacks empathy, patience, and respect. Appointments are rushed with little space to ask questions or gain understanding for what’s going on. A misunderstanding in her office left me in tears after she chose to be verbally aggressive, accusatory, and intimidating. She made me feel dumb and negligent when I lacked understanding about the situation. A professional should be able to explain risks and benefits without making patients feel attacked and want to cry. Avoid this woman as your care provider and find someone who will help you feel safe and respected. Dr. Akram: Patients have rights to receive kind and respectful care. Please take an honest look at yourself and do better.

Dr. Akram is one of the best, personally in my opinion. She truly cares about the baby and your health. Thankful and grateful to have chosen Dr. Akram to deliver my baby girl.

Although I did not go to Dr. Akram from the beginning of my pregnancy she made sure to give me the best experience for the second half of my pregnancy! She is so sweet and caring and makes sure you know that you and baby are her number 1 priority. Dr. Akram makes sure from the moment you see her you are comfortable, and confident in your pregnancy and helps with any questions or concerns. She is never too busy to listen and make sure she is giving you the best advice and recommendations for your health and baby’s. Baby and I had a wonderful pregnancy and smooth delivery thanks to Dr. Akram.

As a new patient my first impression was wow there's a lot of people as I sat there waiting to be called. After 15 min the nurse said she went to deliver a baby and would be back in 30 min. Exactly after rhat time she was back. When I met her I got good vibes from her. She was kind and always answered my questions and made sure u understood. So I told her this was my first baby and planned on a natural birth with absolutely no medication. The day I went into labor. I had such a sweet nurse that was very attentive and helped me through my breathing which is a big deal. When I was 10 cm the doctor happened to be there delivering someone else'sready. My nurse told me she wanted to induce me I said no. 10 min. Later she asked again. But my nurse said my contractions were 2 to 3 min apart. The doctor then came in the 3rd time and said it was 2 to 4 min. Apart. I because frustrated and rushed so said it was fine since I was so close anyways. Soon after She asked me to start pushing (never done it) I let out a yell didn't know to hold my breath. She said I live 2 lights away. So I'll be here fast when your ready. She left. Mt nurse told me to hold my breath and push when I got a contraction. After my 3rd contraction and knew what I was doing she said go get the doctor were having this baby. The doctor was still there but when she came in the room I believe it was my 12th push. Babys head was there and she told me to HOLD! She had to get dressed and put on gloves. It was so painful I yelled so loud I couldnf hold so pushed the baby out. My baby had his head squished a little on one side. It's normal but if she was ready like she rushed me his head would be find. He's 13 months so we'll see when I goes away fully. Also my check up she kept pushing birth control. And after that never calle me again. Not sure if she was suppose to look down there after 6 weeks but if she did she didn't. Having my second baby now and would never go to her!

I had a beautiful delivery yesterday with only 2 pushes he was here ms akram helped me with the delivery process and her including the nurses were all so helpful I wish I could review them all but it was beautiful I had a healthy pregnancy my beautiful son is here thanks to me akram she was super sweet and nice and as for a black couple I really felt like she was listening to us which I don’t get from a lot of doctors but I automatically felt comfortable with her

I found Dr. Akram with my first born 2years ago and I went back to her with my 2second pregnancy which I had back to back. I have severe hyperemesis gravidarum and if it wasn’t for her idk what I would’ve done she stood by my side throughout everything made sure I was comfortable that I had my right medication and had no problem filling it and made sure I had my frequent visits to the hospital for my I. V because I was so dehydrated: she never gave me a hard time and always advocated for me to make sure me and my babies were well which is a miracle to find in a dr because I’ve heard horror stories from ppl with my condition and their drs! She’s more of an old school Dr.which I love because she doesn’t try to push anything on you unless it’s necessary and tries her best to do what you want as far as labor and delivery. And you don’t get another dr when it’s time to have your baby she shows up always. Because my pregnancies are so unfortunate she’s allowing me to get my tubes tied which I’m so grateful for because I know any other dr would’ve denied because of my age.very very grateful for my experience with her.

I'm very picky with my gynecologist.this place was super outdated but I gave it a chance, the MA that took me to the back made me feel so uncomfortable she was not friendly at all, she wouldn't smile and you couldn't even ask her anything. The room had not even been cleaned up from the last patient. The first time I had such a horrible experience. The doctor was nice BUT it still was a horrible experience for me. I should have just walked out as I had felt when I was put in the room.

Dr. Akram delivered my beautiful baby, and I was able to have a natural birth as I had planned. She was always kind and willing to answer questions, though maybe a bit rushed, perhaps due to high volume of patients and nature of the job. One thing I didn't like was my husband not being allowed in due to covid restrictions, which I honestly think doesn't make sense anymore. Overall though I was pleased with my experience and I appreciated Dr. Akram's care and attention!
