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 and Caring Oncologist
Dr. Ahmed went the extra mile to help us find the root cause of my mom's bloodwork. We were able to see in very short order that she was very sick and Dr. Ahmed worked quickly to get us into the proper oncology clinic to take care of her. He is very compassionate about helping his patients. My mother will be around for a lot longer because he went the extra mile in diagnosing her illness.

Excellent Patient-Surgeon relationship
Dr. Shariff Ahmed is highly recommended by me. He treats his patients with respect, kindness, and compassion. He shows genuine concern for the health of his patients. He communicated well with me and I felt comfortable in his diagnoses and treatment plan. I know he had looked up my past medical records to better understand my condition. I was happy to find a physician that has helped me tremendously. He is definitely a physician I can trust in helping me to regain my health. His staff in his office was friendly as well as the infusion center staff. Thank you Dr. Ahmed and staff for making me feel comfortable.

I appreciate Dr. Ahmed's obvious concern that both his patient and his patient's spouse understand what the data are telling him about my condition. He has a very caring and empathetic demeanor. I've experienced him going "the extra mile" to provide me with information relative to my situation. Thanks Dr. Ahmed!
