Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I was referred to see this surgeon by two of my doctors. I suffer from auto immune diseased and now stone in my appendix...... made my appointment weeks in advance and get a call two and a half hours before my appointment because 'he was not going to be able to make it in to clinic today'..... I guess I will have to have it rupture and hanging out before I can be seen or taken seriously.

Both Dr. Ahmad and multiple staff members (including the office manager, receptionist, and scheduler) made so many mistakes before and after my surgery for a breast lumpectomy. Dr. Ahmad was condescending and could not remember a very rare medical issue with my case. He had no compassion and dismissed me as if I did not matter.

Dr. Ahmad is a very professional caring Doctor, the time he takes to explain the procedure and the time he takes with his patients is comforting, from the first time we meet Dr. Ahmad he showed us his concern for what needed to be done to correct problem all the way thru the surgery and all the way to the follow up visit after recovery, he really cares for the well being of my husband and always with a smile, and compassion, and his staff also were very caring and professional.

I was recommended to go see Dr. Ahmad by my personal physician for a hernia that he found during my yearly physical, when I visited Dr. Ahmad practice I was very worried since I have been healthy all my life, but after his exam and talking to me about the procedure as a robotic assist surgery he made it sound like a walk in the park! And it was. His office scheduled the time and the place of the day surgery and all went very well and today I had my two weeks check and all is healing like it should. Surgery was on Thursday morning and I was back to work on Monday. Thank you Dr. Ahmad for a job well done.

Dr Ahmad did my lumpactomy yesterday. Everything went well the only issue I had was his prescription wasn't followed up by his team or hospital. The pharmacy did not get order and they do not accept paper prescription. Tried to call non picked up. Although it was before 5pm.

I am very pleased with the services provided by Dr. Ahmad. He recently repaired a hernia that I first had repaired over forty years ago. Back then they opened me up with a four inch incision. Dr Ahmad with the advancements in medicine used the robotic procedure and must say I was up and about within days. The robotic procedure which Dr. Ahmad specializes in was great and the recovery and post-op was nothing like the first time I had this done. This time using robotics there was only three very small incisions, maybe a half inch long, if that apiece across my abdomen. I was truly amazed in how little or should I say lack of pain I had post-op. His staff is also friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmad.

7/11/2018. Had Toupet Fundoplication to treat over 20 years of acid reflux on 6/14/2018 along with hiatal hernia (2cm) repair, laparoscopically. Had 2 pre-surgery appointments. Dr. Ahmad is very laid back so bring your questions and he will answer all of them. Very kind and knowledgeable. Outstanding customer service by him as well as his surgery scheduler who went out of her way to squeeze me in before Dr. Ahmad left for vacation since I am a school counselor & needed to have surgery in June.
