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.

Great Doctor but...
Dr. Ahmad is an excellent doctor who truly listens to his patients and collaborates with them to develop treatment plans that meet their needs. However, I have encountered significant issues with his team. Many members of his staff demonstrate unprofessionalism and incompetence.One nurse on his team has refused to adhere to ADA accommodations and has overstepped her boundaries by making decisions without consulting Dr. Ahmad. Additionally, some staff members struggle with basic tasks, causing delays and numerous insurance issues. I am currently dealing with a frustrating situation that has left everyone involved, including the insurance company and pharmacy, baffled due to the team's inability to resolve a simple issue.Overall, interacting with Dr. Ahmad's team has been a nightmare whenever I need something corrected or updated. If it weren't for these issues, I would give Dr. Ahmad a full five-star rating.

Was very patient, caring, and listened to my concerns. I did not feel rushed like I have with previous doctors. Have already recommended to my family and friends.
