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. Ahmad and his staff are phenomenal!!! I had a major pancreas surgery in June and he is a remarkable surgeon and UC is very lucky to have him! We had been monitoring a pre cancerous cyst that showed up on a CT scan for about 3 years and he suggested surgery to remove part of the pancreas where the cyst was located as it had been growing slowly over the 3 years. This had been supported by my 2nd opinion visit to John Hopkins Cancer Center as well. In fact, when John Hopkins heard who my surgeon was I had been working with in Cincinnati they even stated I was in great hands with Dr. Ahmad! He took the time to educate me on each visit leading up to the surgery. When the pathology report came back post surgery, Dr. Ahmad got it just in time as it likely would have progressed to pancreatic cancer if we would have waited too much longer. I am forever thankful for Dr. Ahmad and his amazing team!!!!

Dr. Ahmad saves lives. I am 9 months Cancer free thanks to him.. He commands a large and loyal staff who provided the best possible care... This includes the nurses, aides and support at University Hospital. My experience with him and the staff was wonderful. I have the benefit of a year past the operation to see it all from a distance but it truly was a good experience to get the results.. Don't hesitate to put your life in Dr. Ahmads hands...

Dr. Ahmad has a stellar reputation within the medical profession, however, patients are treated like they are on an assembly line, & everyone receives the same care. Further, his bedside manner leaves much to be desired. Dismissive & rude are the terms that spring to mind. While in the hospital, you are largely left in the care of residents while he travels the country. For all I know, he's the best surgeon in the world at what he does, but personal contact with patients is definitely a weakness

Incredible doctor! From the moment you meet him, you realize how good he is. When I asked other doctors to recommend a surgeon for a Whipple, without hesitation, they would reply Dr Ahmad.
