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.

Worse doctor ever! Asked for a refill of basic/daily medicine. Said I needed an appointment to get it. Made appointment and talked to him about needing the med. Thought he sent the order to the pharmacy. Checked pharmacy every day no meds. Had them to send a request for the med. 28 days later I checked the pharmacy and at last the med was there. This was during the height of covid 19 and I have only 1 lung.

He seemed angry at me but did not specify why. He sent me for tests and put me on an inhaler that I had a bad reaction to. He did not explain what was wrong, what the prognosis was, or how to handle it. When I called about the bad experience with the inhaler, he did not call me back when his staff promised. He is pushing a sleep study, which I believe to be a cash cow for his office. I don't have any problems sleeping, and that is not my complaint. I am thinking of just cancelling out of his office and going to Frederick.

I went to Dr. Ahmed for sleep apnea. He said that he would stick with me to find a solution to this problem no matter what. Afterwards I couldn't reach him for questions via his office. I waited 3 months to see him. He'd not read the result of my sleep study or the info from my CPAP machine. He couldn't answer my questions. He never once LOOKED at me during my second appt. He told me to schedule again in 3 months. Yeah, right! He is a Jekyll and Hyde personality.
