Dr. Sanaa Akhter

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself was fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Sanaa was really clear about what pain to expect and how to manage it. She called to check on me twice after I went home, which helped a lot. I'm back to walking my dog now, and the recovery has been steady, just like she said it would be. (Patient of Dr. Sanaa)

As a project manager, I don't have time for drawn-out appointments. I went to Dr. Sanaa with persistent fatigue. She was direct, ordered the right tests efficiently, and identified a vitamin deficiency. Got a clear treatment plan in one visit. Problem solved, back to work. (Patient of Dr. Sanaa)

Look, I was nervous about seeing a new doctor. But Dr. Sanaa at Burjeel is straight to the point, no fluff. She listened, figured out my issue was just a bad sinus infection, and got me on meds that worked. Parking was a nightmare that day, but the appointment itself was good. (Patient of Dr. Sanaa)

I'd been feeling 'off' for months—just tired and achy. My wife finally made me book an appointment. I saw Dr. Akhter, and honestly, the waiting room was packed so I was expecting a rushed visit. But she sat with me for a good 20 minutes, asking questions I hadn't even thought to mention. She connected dots between my sleep, my diet, and some mild heartburn I had. Ordered a few specific blood tests, and it turned out to be a simple thyroid thing. She explained it in plain English, no scary jargon. I've been on medication for six weeks now and feel like myself again. It was the thoroughness that made the difference. (Patient of Dr. Sanaa)
