Dr. Jamal Ahmad, MD

This so-called surgeon failed my wife so miserably for an ankle replacement that failed that he refused to see her that she had a bone infection and had to have 3 inches of her tibia removed.This so-called surgeon is going to have a lot of very tough questions to answer coming up.

Dr. Ahmad is a great and compassionate Surgeon and Human!Although our paths crossed because of an accident I was in, I am so glad that I was able to have Dr. Ahmad as my surgeon. His bedside manner is stellar!!! He communicated with me and made sure I was comfortable in a time when chaos came in to my life. He is a very caring and compassionate surgeon and human. I truly feel that he cares about his patients and when you hit milestones in your recovery, you can see the joy that he has in making a difference in your life.I would highly recommend Dr. Ahmad for all your foot and ankle problems. After your first visit you will see what I mean. Good luck and Speedy recovery to you!Thank you Dr. Jamal Ahmad for getting me back in action!

Dr. Jamal Ahmad was my surgeon when I was overweight and I developed OCD (osteochondritis dissecans) in my right ankle. I went from having pain at every single step to being able to walk pain free!!!His successful surgery allowed me to become a dog walker and my OCD has NOT returned even years later. Dr. Ahmad is the most kind, caring and compassionate surgeon and person. I truly have thought of him as a friend. I very much wish that he was still in Philadelphia. Absolutely THE BEST!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to others and I truly hope that he is doing well!!! Any patient is truly so fortunate to have him as their surgeon!!!

Very dismissive. Condescending. Talks to you like you are stupid. Surgical site deformed after procedure. Still in pain almost a year later for a minor procedure.

I got a total ankle replacement and Achilles extension by Dr. AHMED. I was very nervous as this was my first experience in an operating room. He was kind, courteous and overall I could not be happier with the result. He's everything you hope for in a doctor and surgeon.

I came to Dr. Ahmad following “bad” surgery outside of NorthShore. He got me back on my feet when I thought I’d never walk normally and without pain ever again. He’s an astoundingly good listener and communicator, trustworthy, caring, friendly, patient, and confident. Who could ask for anything more? Dr. Ahmad clearly loves his job and expects his patients to make full recoveries … even if he DIDN’T do the surgery! Thankfully, with the knowledge and confidence that I’ll return to my former physical ability, I also now have a highly skilled, young doctor to look after my feet in the longterm. What a reassuring feeling! This surgeon is a Godsend, and his office is impeccably run, competent, friendly, responsive, and always on time. Thank you for your care :)

I had a large heel welt and a bone spur that became a nagging injury with age. I still casually pursue high impact sports and it really hurt after skating or running. It's been six months since Dr. Ahmad removed the bone spur and the bursitis from my heel. I'm almost back to 100%. I just need to build up some muscle strength. I'm back to high impact sports and don't have any more nagging pain. I'd recommend him for surgery if you're older and want to stay active. He got me back to being pain-free and was clear on the expectations post-surgery.

Dr. Ahmad preferred not to listen to my details of my injury but instead have me shut up and answer only "yes" or "no" to his standard list of questions. His staff were completely uncooperative with getting images on my prior MRI disc that I brought there personally and later they claim it's no longer there. Nurses directed me standard outdated solutions instead of reading the details of a prolonged injury and length of time of prior treatments.

Everything Dr. Ahmad said regarding my surgery was spot on. It was a difficult recovery but I knew going in it wasn’t going to be easy. I now have NO pain and make strides towards total recovery each day. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmad. He and his support staff are terrific!

We've seen Dr. Ahmad for my son's foot when he had an unexpected injury & for an ankle problem. My son is an athlete and Dr Ahmad was very empathetic to his problem and gave my son really good treatment and advice. His staff is also very supportive and is extremely responsive to any questions and concerns. He is very approachable and returns calls and messages promptly which is a huge thing when the patient is anxious about recovery. I would totally go to him again.

Dr. Ahmad is a professional in every sense. His explantation of patient's problems are easily understood. The Dr. is prompt for appointments and always professional.

My 78 year old mother had a really painful bunion on her left foot. Thankfully, we were referred to Dr. Ahmad who performed surgery around two months ago. Her recovery was great and relatively quick. During these difficult times, Dr. Ahmad and the nurses all made my mother feel comfortable during the process. Especially being that no one could accompany her due to the pandemic and she doesn't speak English fluently. We cannot thank Dr. Ahmad and the staff enough for such caring and professional help. We would definitely recommend Dr. Ahmad to anyone who needs foot surgery.

Dr. Ahmad is one of the best. He explained every step before my ankle surgery to the smallest detail, then post op treatment was handled in the best professional manner. He is very caring and this definitely helped me a lot physically and mentally in my recovery process. Now I am in my last phase of P.T and things are going better than expected. Thank you!

After having pain in my ankle that was not improving with a splint, my ortho ordered a CT scan and referred me to Dr. Ahmad. After Dr. Ahmad immobilized my foot and ankle with a boot for 9 weeks, my pain improved immensely. I am now in a supportive splint and finishing up with PT and walking with zero pain. He assured that with continued therapy at home, I will be back to normal activity and exercise.

I recently had foot surgery by Dr. Ahmad. I am very pleased and satisfied with the results of my surgery. Dr. Ahmad and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Dr. Ahmad to anyone who needs foot surgery.

Dr Ahmad and his staff are kind, knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions I had regarding my treatment for my broken ankle . My ankle had to be surgically repaired and Dr Ahmad did an excellent job. I had no pain after surgery and healed up great.

Dr. Ahmad was extremely kind and professional. This was in stark contrast to a previous doctor at Advocate Health Care who told me that my painful right Achille's had "Reached maximum medical improvement." And that doctor didn't prescribe physical therapy. At my first appointment with Dr. Ahmad, he told me the Achille's would get better. He gave me a boot and a brace with detailed instructions on using them. Dr. Ahmad prescribed physical therapy with excellent North Shore physical therapists who were also kind and professional. I had periodic appointments with Dr. Ahmad so he could check my progress. He was wise and helpful. He ordered orthotics for my shoes. They helped immensely. I religiously followed my physical therapy exercises and stretches. Today was my last appointment with him. I told him that I had a hard time believing him at first when he said I'll get better. But he was right. I did get better and am pain free. I'll still have to do stretching, but I'm pain free.

If I had to rate out of 10 I would give him a 10,000! That's right... A 10,000. You heard it here first, folks. This doctor is wonderful. My dad says "great bedside manner! And very knowledgeable! And kind!". I say "you're fantabulous and amazing!" I came here for a broken ankle.. 2 displaced fractures and one normal fracture.. Even one in my growth plate..! Had put 4 screws and a wire in (wire was pulled out a week later). Was fixed up great! Surgery went really well. No pain after.. No nothing! I can walk really good and do all that stuff. Dr. Ahmad is really awesome! Thank you!

Dr. Ahmad was such a professional, calming, reassuring and compassionate doctor. I have a lot of confidence in his evaluation and treatment. In today's busy schedules I found Dr. Ahmad to take time with my visit in explaining the diagnosis and prognosis and all the questions I asked.

Dr. Ahmad is extremely caring and never rushes. I’m always comfortable with him knowing he will spend as much time with me as I need. I had surgery and he did a fantastic job with my foot. If ever needed again he will be my doctor.
