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.

He explained procedure very well.
Dr Ahmad and staff were very sensitive to me questions and for procedure.

Fantastic Doctor
Doctor Ahmad is such a wonderful Doctor. He took his time, listens while you talk to try and understand in more detail, very thorough, and so polite. Highly recommend him. He is probably one of the nicest Doctors I have ever met.

He has no bedside manner. He gets you in and out and doesn't care to answer your questions. I was seen to today for a new injury and he based his diagnosis on exrays from 1 and a half years ago. Then took new ex rays with no new consultation. He said if if was something serious he would let me know. Don't you think he should have taken the new ex rays first? Don't see this doctor, there are much better ones out there. Go to the Spine Center.
