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 and his team are not ethical individuals and lack professionalism. For example one of there patients taking immunotherapy treatment was hospitalized for a week. Doctors in the hospital could not reach either doctors so a series of unnecessary tests where administered and added to the hospital stay. 2 weeks later and after several messages to the doctor, we still have been unable to reach the specialist.

Dr. Ahmed makes you feel like you are his only patient! He makes you feel very comfortable so that you can talk to him freely about your condition. He also tells you everything you will experience if you have a proceedure in hi office. I would recommend him without hesitation!
