Optimal Ankle & Foot: Dr. Affan Akhtar, DPM, FACFAS

I have always been able to talk to Dr. Akhtar and get my problems resolved. He truly knows his trade, and it is evident within minutes of speaking with him. Coming here is like dealing with trusted family. Would not consider changing.

My go-to podiatrist for me and my son who's gait issues were caught early and are steadily improving. Dr Akhtar is not only knowledgeable in his area of expertise, but carries tremendous bedside manners which are equally important, especially with young patients.

The staff is polite, visits punctual, and facilities well appointed. The new Fort Lee location is quite convenient.

Dr. Affan Akhtar is a compassionate Doctor who genuinely cares about the patient. He squeezed me in before I left on a long business trip and cured my toe pain. It was such a relief! The best part is he shows you why and what exactly was going on his X-ray display. The office is clean and cutting edge with the latest technology. The staff is welcoming, I highly recommend Dr. Affan Akhtar and Optimal Ankle and Foot.

Dr. Akhtar has treated me for various foot and ankle issues as well as surgically repaired my left ankle. I can say that his knowledge and expertise in this field greatly surpasses other podiatrists in the area. He is at the forefront of the latest medical advancements that he utilizes when and if surgery is needed/chosen. He is a professional, thoughtful, and passionate individual aside from being a physician. His office is sheek, modern, and clean. Additionally, his office personnel are accommodating and professional. Therefore, I highly recommend Dr. Akhtar for anything pertaining to podiatry issues.

Dr Akhtar diagnosed a long-standing issue that was not being identified here in the UK. I was so impressed that I flew to the US for treatment with him. I can not express in words the professionalism and high class care that he provided, right through to my full recovery. I recommend and trust him completely.
