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.

Amazing Care from Dr. Ahmed and entire Staff
I have used Dr. Ahmed over the years but the last 2 yrs I've been a steady patient due to a chronic issue.I can't express how grateful I am to Dr. Ahmed and her entire staff for the wonderful care and treatment they have given me and still do.Dr. Ahmed is very thorough and takes her time so I understand my health issues and answers all my questions. She is a Fantastic Dr. who I trust fully with my health.Nurse practitioner Sobha always makes me feel comfortable and is very kind .Jessica the office manager went up and beyond to get me a medication that the insurance would not cover due to high cost.After days and hrs she was able to get me the medication which is improving my health.All the medical assistants are kind and caring, KIKI is known for her painless injections.The girls in the front office are all kind and caring as well.To sum it up Dr. Ahmed and her entire team together provide great medical care, are professionals and have great people skills!

Hour waits! I can understand a half hour late but ive went to her several time and it’s quick if she sees an hour later than your appointment. She’s a little abrupt. Definitely not worth waiting hours for.

My family has known Dr Ahmed for over 5 years now. She is compassionate, warm and extremely knowledgeable. There is no one else I could imagine taking care of me or my family.

Horrible! Wish I read all the horrible reviews before going. Waited over a month for an appt. First when I walked in the smell was horrendous. The staff was extremely nasty with a response of “I don’t know what to tell you” when being told that the doctor just came in 2 hours late and had 3 patients ahead of me an hour after my appt time. I was promised ahead of time that I’d be out by a certain time and the dr wasn’t even there yet! I do not recommend this office. With staff as nasty as they are and the doctor leaving patients waiting for 2 hours I could only imagine what kind of dr she is.

At first I was impressed with Dr. Ahmed. She appeared to be very professional and left me with hope that she can help with my health issues. On my next appointments she wasn't paying attention to my questions and got really mad when I kept requesting the answers. She was yelling at me and eventually ordered me to leave her office. She actually walked me to the front door herself. I left her office crying and still had to pay my co-pay. Requested my records and only got tests results that I have

Office is very unclean looking. Exam room door is all scratched up, dirty blinds just shabby looking. Also, no indication of being Doctor s office...no Shingle outside. If you were just walking past it just looks like an old unkempt house. Tax purposes I surmise is the reason for NO SHINGLE. dr is very unkempt looking and has bedside appeal. Went once, never AGAIN.

I'm 20 wks pregnant and waited 3 wks for an appointment with this doctor and mind you I'm an existing patient w/her . I had to work called up the day before spoke to someome named Shannon and she told me if I was going to be late that would be fine considering my condition. For me to tell them I'm 10 mins away from the office and even the doctor get on the phone and tell me she never told me I can be late and she's leaving to the hospital. The doctor has no bedside manner and I won't be back!

I did not have a good experience with my father's treatment here. They took almost two months to work out getting him oxygen delivered to his home, during which time he had none. Because he had no oxygen he couldn't leave the house to get chemotherapy. He ended up going from a good pet scan before this long delay, to a bad one after, and then died three months later.

At first I was very excited to have found a doctor who had such an upbeat attitude That lasted the length of the visit She was I reachable for the next 4 weeks one excuse after another change in business hours took a week off doesn't work weekends on and on and on. She is a young doctor who must be too busy to see and assist patients Her office phone are ally busy taking sometimes 14-20 attempts to get through and once you get through the stag can't give an answer. Computers down
