As a physician, I evaluate physicians that I see. Dr. Iqbal passed on every evaluation. She is very up to date on the medical literature. She is to the point in her recommendations. Her referrals have been to other high quality physicians. My appointments never felt rushed, and there was never a long waiting time to be seen. I recommend her very highly.

I've been a patient for years and am very satisfied with the level of care I receive from Dr. Iqbal. Shecan be abrupt and doesn't waste time on small talk, but gets right to the heart of the matter, is an excellent diagnostician, and has sent me to exceptional specialists when needed. I have no complaints at all the quality of care I receive.

Dr. Iqbal spent the entire appointment lecturing me of everything that was brought up from a recent trip to the ER I had made and would not allow me to ask many questions and would not answer the questions she did permit me to ask in terms I could understand.

Dr Iqbal is the finest physician I have ever seen. She has aided me through some very serious health issues in the past several years. She is thorough and takes time to ask me about everything going on and to offer suggestions and make very clear what I should be doing for my health issues.

I am astonished that this extraordinary physician who specializes in gerontology works in Roane County. She makes referrals to exceptional doctors if a specialist is needed. Dr. Iqbal is thorough, intelligent, caring, kind and considerate. There is no doubt in my mind that she is informed about the most current procedures and treatments pertaining to her patient's care and well-being. My 85 yr, old mother is under Dr. Iqbal's care, and she treats mom with the utmost respect and dignity.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Iqbal two weeks ago. She was VERY clinically intelligent and diagnostically she has a vast amount of knowledge. She spent at least 45 minutes with me, and was able to make sense of a few things that had been going on with me (medically). If you are looking for a physician who will sugarcoat things and hold your hand, she is not the one for you. But, if you are looking for a GOOD Dr. I highly recommend Dr. Iqbal!

I have had nothing but praise for Dr. Iqbal. She treats my elderly mother and father who has dementia. I am always there with them and she explains things very well to them and to me. She is attentive and listens to everything I tell her about their health. She also answers any questions we have thoroughly and completely.

If competence, thoroughness, directness and detail orientation offend you, and you need a lot of hand holding, then she may not be right for you. My impression is that she is passionately concerned with the health of her patients - perhaps more than they may be. I guess that must be frustrating to a doctor who wants the best for her patients. Give her a break. She's worth it.

Dr. Iqbal's demeanor on my initial visit was argumentative and hostile. The tone of voice used by Dr. Iqbal was inappropriately loud at times. Dr. Iqbal was informative regarding issues between insurance companies and doctors regarding mandatory compliance by the patient of regular testing and monitoring at regular intervals. My feedback opinion of Dr. Iqbal is subject to change with the passing of time as one of her patients.
