Personal Life
Originally from Omaha, Dr. Akhter was inspired to pursue medicine while working as a cardiac technician at Creighton University Medical Center.

Outside of medicine, she enjoys acrylic painting, crocheting, and spending time with her playful tabby cat.

“What I love most about family medicine is the connection. In smaller communities, I’m not just a doctor—I’m someone’s neighbor, their listener, their advocate. Being able to walk alongside people of all ages, through every stage of life, is what makes this work so meaningful.”
