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.

Highly recommend Dr Ahsan!
I was hit by a car 2 years ago and live in constant pain due to 2 bulging disc’s and nerve impingement. I wasn’t sure if he could do anything for my pain but 2 spinal injections really made a big improvement in my life. I was so grumpy and uncomfortable seeing him and he always joked around and made me laugh in light of how bad I was feeling. I will live with pain the rest of my life but I know Dr. Ahsan can help make it more bearable. I highly recommend him and his staff!

Outstanding help and trust
I have had major back problems for 7 years. 3 surgeries, several pain management doctors, and numerous physical therapists. Dr. Ahsan is the best of them all. He is the doctor I trust the most, and more importantly, has provided the most relief. I feel confident under his care.

I was treated with a high degree of professionalism and care by Dr Ahsan and his staff. They suggested cortisone treatment for my lower back issues and the results were transformational. For the first time in several decades, i woke up pain free. What an energizing way to start my day. Thank you Dr Ahsan!!

Dr. Ahsan has been helping me with chronic pain that I have had since 2014. He started treating me in 2017 after I had been to several other specialists. In working with Dr. Ahsan, we went through several procedures before discussing the use of an An implantable neurostimulator. We went through a 9 day trail and I am now 5 months post opt. It has truly be life changing. The relief of pain and the hope of returning to some resemblance of normal life has been amazing. If you haven't looked into dorsal root ganglion (DRG) DRG Neurostimulation System, please do.

Dr. Mohammad Ahsan is professional and very knowledgeable in pain management, he clearly explains options, procedures, and takes the time to answer all your questions mixed with a refreshing sense of humor to make you feel comfortable! As an active person I enjoyed walking, jogging 5Ks, swimming, traveling, but the past two years I suffered from excruciating lower back pain down my right leg. Tried multiple rounds of PT, various prescriptions, nothing helped it was painful to simply walk! After seeing several specialists I was referred to Dr. Ahsan. He assessed my symptoms, asked appropriate questions, and was committed to relieving my pain long-term. Today I write this review pain free, and going on a hiking trip next week! Thank you Dr. Ahsan!

I have been a patient of Dr. Mohammad Ahsan for many years now. I have chronic, debilitating pain from two autoimmune diseases. When I first met him, I was so impressed with how knowledgeable, kind and supportive he was. He is still that, and much more, to this day. He is up-to-date on the latest treatments and procedures. He talks you through each one as he is performing it which helps alleviate fear and concern. Most importantly, he really listens to what my needs are and suggests many different options. He is so intelligent, witty and compassionate. He’s been a Godsend for me in keeping me mobile and helping me get my life back. His staff, Michelle, Kasia, and Yany, just to name a few, is professional, efficient, nurturing, and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Ashan to anyone in need of the best pain doctor. You will love him and his staff! During this pandemic, he maintained virtual monthly appointments and even permitted in person visits scheduled with my utmost safety in mind.

Dr. Ahsan has gone above and beyond to help me with a highly complicated medical issue. Even after it was determined that my condition was not his field of expertise, he continued to assist me with referrals to other excellent medical professionals. Not only did he refer me, but he continued to follow up with me to see if I had found relief and what their findings were. He showed genuine concern and selflessly provided support throughout this journey. I would highly recommend Dr. Ahsan!
