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
The worst experience I've had with a doctor in quite a long time. Dr. Ahmed was extremely condescending and didn't treat me with compassion or care. It was clear he just wanted to get in and out of the room as quickly as possible. It seems like he entered to field for a paycheck and not to help patients. He is not knowledgeable about medical conditions.

Doesn't listen to your problem with interest, also doesn't explain what he plans to do with testing. Takes too long to renew your meds with a pharmacy,waited over three weeks for my eye drop refill.will find another doctor.

Terrible Doctor.
Either he has amnesia or just doesn't pay attention to his patients. My opinion he is not fit to be practicing.

Pompous egotistical doctor who offers no treatment
Routinely refuses to offer treatment or even a referral to the correct profession. He has no desire to actually help patients and will happily leave them in pain as plenty of others have already stated. Showed up 30 minutes to a video visit and his reasoning was "Have you ever heard of the airport? Sometimes you have to wait". He has no qualms with raising his voice to patients and lying to their face

Truly listens when you talk. You feel as if you are a partner with him in your health. Staff & receptionists are also on point. Has been my primary care doctor for about 4 yrs. now.

I have recommended him to many friends and family members. Always gets me in, wait times are minimal. I feel like he listens to me, and what I am saying. His PA Jenn is also very attentive, and looks at the bigger picture, both very knowledgeable.

I advise everyone to not go to him. It took 2 weeks to get a prescription refilled. Calls were not returned. Had to return several times to get forms filled out. His advice for an 83 year old woman with heartburn issues was to eat more carrots and celery.

By far Worst "Doctor" I have ever met in my life. Lets Patients go in pain doesn't listen them At all.Very Unprofessional Patronizing and Arrogant. Took my mother off meds that were working for years claiming they were addictive and Outright lied to my mother with my father and I as whiteness's,telling her Gabapentin was not harmful or Addictive.Told us to google it and when I did we learned he's either ignorant or outright lieing.As it can be Harmful and Addictive. I know Doctors..This is not 1

If you go to this Dr i hope you are never in pain and need help. They hand out nsaids that i consider dangerous but wont give anything that actually works for pain. Its ok if you like all these new, supposedly nonaddicting pain meds to be used on you and treated like a lab rat.

Excellent practice and office - I fully trust this office and the NP's there, and have also moved my grown children there as they're graduated from their peditrician. Easy to talk with, understand, and an excellent staff. (I go to the Clifton Springs office, usually, but have also been to the Newark office and same level of care)

Horrible doctor , if that's what you call him. He let me suffer for three months. All the specialists that I saw said he should be the one to diagnose me and that never happened. He is handling people's lives and making bad decisions. I am pretty sure an animal wouldn't suffer like I have. I do not recommend this guy. Doesn't want to hear your thoughts about your own health.
