He, and the nurse practitioner who met with me before him, both took the time for me to feel at ease with them having, & understanding, all of the pertinent information. Both were kind & compassionate. Dr. Ahmad was thorough, took the time to explain things well, & to answer questions with patience. He was forthcoming with information. He was clear & confident, without being pompous. I left the appointment feeling like he is highly competent & sees me as an human being, & authentically cares. Those things combined is unfortunately not an easy find, so I feel like I found a gem.
Excellent care and concern
Great doctor and surgeon. Best i had and trust him with my health.
Dr. Ahmad took the time to answer all my questions and never once made me feel like I was an inconvenience or that my questions were stupid. He did my surgery and everything seems to be healing well and at my follow up listened to everything I was concerned about. He is really good over all.
He explained well and listened to me
He was very nice and respectful. He explained everything as needed and what the plans were for the next step! 10/10
Dr Ahmad was professional, knowledgeable, and actually sat in front of me. He listened and I never felt rushed. We talked options and made a game plan. . I knew a lot more when I left than when I arrived. .
Very nice and caring Doctor. He wasn’t able to help me but gave me answers and steered me in the right direction.
Very personal, made us feel at ease. Took the time to explain my condition, answered all questions. Excellent doctor.
Great staff! Dr Ahmad is such a kind and caring physician. I felt comfortable right from the beginning as he was explaining my next procedure.
