Dr. Ahmed has been great. In recent years, I've had a hard time finding a doctor that wanted to actually "doctor." They've been the definition of a "Doc in a box."
Dr. Ahmed has been thorough and real improvement had been achieved.
He's also very nice and willing to listen and discuss.
His staff is very nice, as well.
