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.

Rude
He might be a good doctor - I have no idea. He did go over by bloodwork but that was it. He was rude and I would never suggest giving him your money.

He's a terribly rude man who frequently insults his patients. If you are concerned about any symptoms you have he will be quick to dismiss them, and rush you away, doing his best to put you down. Never go to this person for thyroid trouble. He doesn't know what he's doing, and he does not deserve anyone's respect. Nobody should have to deal with his kind of abuse. I feel sorry for his staff.

Dr. Ahmed has been my doctor since 1989. He is a phenomenal doctor that is up to date on the latest advancements with medicine and diabetes treatment. Due to his diligence with medical advancements, I have had no complications in having 33 years of Type 1 diabetes. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Ahmed is rude and will not stay in contact with you. I was supposed to have a call from him at 1:45 and he has not called. He argued with me about running out of insulin when the pharmacy and I both tried contacting him in the span of 5 days and leaving voicemails. He will talk over you and ended up putting in a rx for medicine I already had and not enough of what I needed. He lacks professionalism in communication and it’s very detrimental that we stay in contact due to me being very late into my pregnancy with gestational diabetes. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone especially if you’re pregnant.
