My back felt better than it has since HS immediately after my surgery. Dr Ahmad is the best!
I thought he was very professional, very knowledgeable and told me all of my options. When I decide to have surgery, I will definitely and confidently have Dr. Ahmad perform it.
Superior knowledge in his area of expertise

My first visit with Dr Ahmed. I felt he was very informed of my issue but still was open to listening to all my concerns and questions. Did not feel rushed. Very pleasant visit.
