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.

Saw him in emergency, very caring and gentle but efficient. Good results, fast recovery, clear directions to come back for follow up. We are very pleased with outcome and care provided by this doctor.

Excellent bed side manor with very kind staff. For my very first surgical experience it went very smooth. I work in health care and have the knowledge of giving adequate feedback regarding this experience and Dr. Ahmad is superb. I’ve heard only positive feedback from the health care staff at the hospitals about him as well. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Lap chole in Spokane, WA – Sep 11, 2018

I recently had the joy of being under Dr. Ahmad's care. I am also a former nurse so I think I am picky. I went in for a lap appendectomy done by another surgeon and became septic and riddled with clostridium difficile. Dr. Ahmad followed my care up while I was in hospital. I found Dr. Ahmad to have the BEST bedside manner. I completely trusted him. Surgeons are a different kind of person- and we need them to be so- but Dr. Ahmad is good to his core and very competent. You are in good hands.

I went in with prepared questions and he answered them thoroughly. He was familiar with and also reviewed again my test results that led to the surgical recommendation. He met with me prior to surgery and with my husband directly after surgery. He also met with me again in the recovery room. He was professional, caring, and most importantly, highly skilled.
