Dr. Shahid Ahsan, MB BS

Dr. Ahsan has treated my husband for sleep problems for several years now and actually persuaded my husband to get his long time broken nose fixed to assist with his acceptance of the Cpap machine. (My husband broke his nose in 1967 with fix and refused to repeat that process when he broke it again soon after. He was in the USAF for 30 years and AF docs suggested he get his broken nose and deviated septum fixed every year but he refused. ) My husband and I (RN) appreciated the manner, expertise, explanations, and time he spent with us and the relationship he had with my husband to have my husband trust and take his advice. My husband had a Cpap machine years before and could not use it so we sent it back. This time, he has used it for 2 years and now uses it willingly and successfully. He is able to use the nose mask for his Cpap because he had his nose fixed and is very glad he did that. He appreciates Dr. Ahsan and is so glad he listened and complied to his advice.

As a FORMER patient, if you need respiratory testing, diagnosis, a prescription for a CPAP or CPAP adjustments Dr. Ahsan is a good doctor. However, based on my personal experience if he writes you a prescription for any medication, it's my opinion that you should get another doctor to verify that it's reasonable for you to be on that medication at that dose. Despite contraindications, I was given Clonazepam (Klonopin) 0.5mg and later authorized to use 1.5mg when I requested a SLEEPING PILL.
