Comes across as someone who really does not care about his patients. When asked the difference between Medicare wellness and Annual exams, he said ""Nobody is forcing you "" to have these exams!

This was my first visit with Dr. Akbary. My prior primary care physician moved practices. I found him to be a very attentive and calming presence while you talk with him. I appreciated the time he took with me and I'm looking forward to working with him going forward as my primary care physician.
