Well-versed in all facets of interventional radiology, he is particularly passionate about treating vascular disease (pulmonary embolism, chronic venous insufficiency) and interventional oncology.

Back in the early days of his academic career, Dr. Akhter obtained his medical degree at the Northeast Ohio Medical University before moving to Philadelphia for his residency in radiology at Akron General Medical Center. During these four years, he developed a passion for interventional radiology as he was able to offer extensive diagnostic and clinical service to his patients.

Vascular & interventional radiologists focus on diseases of the blood vessels and lymphatic system, but also treat other conditions such as cancer and infertility. They perform minimally invasive treatments that have less risk, pain, and recovery time compared to open surgery.

In his free time, Dr. Akhter enjoys hiking, traveling, and videography.
