Excellent service and Carla truly listens and addresses concerns! Awesome!
Dr.Akkad is the best doctor I have. He is caring and spending time with each patient. Katie Miner is wonderful
Great professional care! He got me in immediately because of an emergency. Thank you!
Very smooth.
Kate Minor PA-C was fantastic. Knoiwledgeable and personable.
Has taken good care of me and my family
Arrived early. Was seen at scheduled time with minimal wait time
I have been with Dr. Akkad & Dr. Minor since he saved my life in 2010 Dec when I came in to ER with a M.I. Heart Attack and I will have to say, I was happy then and now that all they have been doing since then, is giving me awesome tips to further prevent another H.Attack but because my heart could no take Stints, the idea was to eat better, and Being a Vegan for a long time has helped big time. But I could never leave sugar & bread for a long time, and would stay at 300+ lbs, sometimes getting to 285, or 290 but I would just yoyo, but Dr. Minor one day told me something that was simple. but kinda amazing, that "I could eat different, if I want to, and if you did, you will feel better", I told her, that it will not happen, and gave many excuses. So to prove Dr. Minor and Dr. Akkad wrong, I finally changed my eating habits after years, and I can fully say I feel better as of today 4.16.24, and 7months I have lost a little over 75 lbs I have went to 300lbs, then to 289 - and now 222. I was 225 when I went to visit last, but I lost few more, I am now chasing to get to 200, and I'm confident, with my diet and exercise, and more motivation from my Dr's I will feel even better than I do now, I even dance now more, when I sing on stage with my Band, instead of sitting many times during a show, (which I used to do) now, I have a lot more fun! Its a great day for me when I think about going to the Affiliated Cardiologist of AZ and visit Dr. Minor & Dr. A. I will always feel like what they helped me was super lifesaving. Thx again ya'll, Simonsays - JukeBoxGenerationsBand.

Very professional and I am pleased
Excellent and thorough. With a complete explanation. Katie is always top-notch.
I can't say enough good about Dr Akkad and Katie. They are extremely knowledgeable and yet very good at explaining things so us regular people understand what they are talking about. The best part is that they are so nice while they are doing it. I also appreciated that they are so thorough in finding out what the problem may be. I will never go anywhere else for anything to do with my heart. They are awesome. With much appreciation, Wilford (Bill) Allen
