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.

Dr. Ahmed is very nice, and I'm sure very knowledgeable; however you see him almost never, given over to a PA. That's fine in many cases, but they don't get into too much detail. Plus, and most importantly- their office staff is terrible. It takes days, sometimes weeks to get call backs. My sister-in-law is still waiting to hear about the status of her terminally ill special needs brother. This is unacceptable. I wlll find a new doctor.

I’ve been using him for 10+ years. He has fit me in between lunch breaks during bad flares and always gets back to my messages within 24 hours. I highly recommend him.

I've been a patient for 15 years and Dr. Ahmad has been attentive to my medical conditions with good bedside manners. I would not be alive today if it was not for him!

He seems competent enough, however I think he's mostly in it for the money. I could make an appt to get a colonoscopy within the week. However, If I wanted to see the doctor I needed to wait 4 months or longer. I could have seen one of his physician assistants if i was willing to wait 3 months. So as long as you want an expensive procedure, you will get an appointment rather quickly. But if you want to actually talk about your problems and get some advice, expect a long wait.

I've a history of being poorly treated by MGI. I'm not listened to and my symptoms were never relieved. I've gone through surgery and they were more concerned with my bill then me as a patient.

Lots of unexplained testing. Terrible wait times for appointments. After 2 years, I still don't know what's wrong or what all i have been tested for.
