Dr. Akbar is the best, he always explains everything and makes sure we're aware of the plan. I couldn't ask for a better provider for my children.

Dr. Akbar is absolutely the BEST!! His bedside manner is exceptional, and he truly cares about my son. My son is the only one in our family to use the University Hospitals (except for urgent care visits) and that is due to Dr. Akbar. We met Dr. Akbar when he took care of my son at an emergency room visit when he was a toddler, and he has been my son's pediatrician ever since. I can not say enough good thing him! University Hospital is extremely lucky to have Dr. Akbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This doctor is not my daughters, usual doctor. But I would definitely recommend that he become her regular doctor. He was very good with her and she usually doesn't like the doctors but he made her feel comfortable. He talked to her and he was very knowledgeable and very kind.

Akbar was my doctor when I was growing up. I followed him from mercy for my daughter. He remembers my family and my life. He will ask me questions like how I am doing or my sister. I couldn't ask for a better person centered doctor.

Industry Relationships

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.

UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.

As of December 31, 2016, Khalid Akbar did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
