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.
Excellent surgeon. Did an amazing job.
Being a nurse myself and in the medical field for 30+ years, being part of the team providing the care, it is hard to be on the other side of things and find a provider and team to put your trust in. I have found that with Dr. Ahmad and his staff. Thank you to him and his team!
explained issues clearly and very congenial
He’s the best
