Since I started seeing Dr. Akbary, he has always been good about explaining health concerns and how to properly address them in a thoughtful manner. During this recent visit, [staff], a member of Dr. Akbary's team, did a great job helping me feel comfortable during my visit.

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.

Dr. Wasel AKBARY has been my and spouse's(Orlando) PCP over the years following him when he joined JHFM. He is consistently very hands on with concern about our wellbeing and strict about having our annual medical appointments and requirements done. He has been instrumental In pushing through seeing specialists leading to the finding of my current Amyloidosis condition. I look up to Dr.AKBARY on his medical and professional expertise combined with his excellent patient-Physician relationship.

He's very knowledgeable and informative. Kind, with exceptional interpersonal skills. He's genuine and empathic. Caring and compassionate.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/7/2025
Dr Akbary is highly intelligent, but clearly, like the doctors I saw in the ER, he does not handled my complex case properly (except for a few doctors in the ER). It seems that doctors follow stupid protocols, and has no ability to bring in their 2 cents.

Dr. Akbary has been an excellent physician who listens attentively and offers great advice and insight to health issues and concerns.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/1/2025
While I understand circumstances requiring providers to wear masks during interaction with patients, those masks detract significantly from the ability of patients to hear or understand what providers are trying to convey. On the occasion of my recent visit, the two assistants who took my vitals wore masks, and I had a very difficult time understanding what they were saying. The same applied to the doctor. I've considered changing doctors precisely for this reason, since I see little reason to see a doctor if I can't communicate with him.
