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.

He’s useless
I was in the hospital and mostly unconscious. I don’t even remember him coming in the room to talk to me. I guess he doesn’t read charts or can’t tell if someone is unresponsive. But when I went to see him he said he did not want me as a patient because I was rude when he tried to talk to me in the hospital, I wouldn’t talk to him. I was unconscious for 3 days… So much schooling wasted on someone….

Literally save my life. He listened and observed, payed attention to my condition and needs. I find his command of the English language quite acceptable. He is very knowledgeable and understanding as well as professional. I would highly recommend him to any one who is serious about overcoming any issues. Thank you Dr Ahmed.

I had a great experience with Dr. Ahmad. He was very attentive to my son's needs and explained the choices in his medications to me. This is such a difficult illness to deal with and having support from a physician was nice during this time. My son is improving everyday.

Dr. Ahmad barely speaks or understands English. He never makes eye contact with his patients, which is very disturbing. He gets angry, dismissive and defensive when anyone has a hard time communicating with him. His knowledge of pharmaceuticals is severely limited and he tends to over prescribe the same medications for every patient, putting them into a state of sedation that makes living a halfway normal life impossible. Avoid Dr. Ahmad at all costs.
