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.

Receptionist not at all friendly, always looks like she’s in a very bad mood, her attitude sets the tone for the visit I’m sorry to say

I would highly recommend Dr Ahmed
Dr Ahmed was very thorough in his exam and ordered the necessary tests for my condition. He was much more thorough than any doctor I have seen in any other practice in a long time and was determined to get to the bottom of my illness. Five stars all around

COLD bedside manner
I waited a long time in exam room. A resident named Dr. Chima came in & went over extensive question sheet. He had no personality & was put off that I could not recall every piece of medical history dating back 15 yrs . I told him he wasn’t kind & I was uncomfortable. Then I heard him go to Dr.Ahmed & prep him for his visit with me. Dr.Ahmed has THE coldest manner, curt. Doubted my Lupus condition & treated me accordingly because of my past treatment from other rheumatologists. I had to pause the appt to tell him he shouldn’t be treating me this way because of my rheumatology history- that’s on that rheumatologist, not me. I asked for a low dose steroid to help me through a flare-up. He refused. Acted as if I asked him for heroin. I take ZERO meds other than OTC. He suggested Tai Chi. Told me a patient like me will never lose weight on my own & suggested Mather for bariatric surgery or injections. Seriously?! Tbh, he was put off by my weight & treated me accordingly. Never again.

This was my first visit with Dr. Ahmed. I was very impressed with his interest in my entire medical history as well as specific concerns regarding his specialty. His input was valuable and I will follow up with his treatment suggestions and tests. He was patient, pleasant and did not rush the session.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Ahmed did more for me in six months then my prior rheumatologist had done in years! I find him to be kind, patient and thorough. His staff is very friendly, caring and professional. I’ve only had a waiting issue once and it happens sometimes; nothing new and I’ve waited in other drs’ offices where the wait is always a problem - speak up or reschedule if you must but This Dr. has helped me immensely.

Caring and thorough
I made an appointment with Dr. Ahmed based on a recommendation from a friend after having difficulty getting an appointment with an endocrinologist to discuss my new diagnosis of Osteoporosis. It was easy to get an appointment and the office staff was helpful. Dr. Ahmed took time to review my medical history and clearly explained treatment options. He patiently listened to my questions and addressed my concerns. I was very satisfied with the encounter.

No Satisfaction....rude.
First visit I was not very impressed. Physical exam was looking at my hands, then laying down as he proceeded to bend my left and right leg. That was the extent of my physical exam. This is why I had to take my clothes off for?! There was nothing new that he had to offer. Sent me for a number of xrays and bloodtests. Received an email to join a site to read what we discussed, "in case I forgot." It had nothing written from the doctor about my visit nor anything we discussed. All that was there was a way to pay any outstanding bill. Called to get results 5 x, with no return call. Finally got a call back. Second visit I waited in the examining room for about 23 minutes and he finally told me he was calling for the results of my bloodtests...I had them why didn't he? I told him I was ready to leave...he said, that's your choice. I will never go back nor would I ever recommend this doctor.
