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.

Dr Ahmed was great. Thoroughly explained every step of the interview, exam and his suggestions for diagnosis. He was kind when I interrupted him with questions and answered them at that point. Highly recommend

Very competent and thorough professional
The whole process of working with Dr. Ahmed, from setting up my appointment, initial meeting, reviewing my referral, planning outpatient surgery, undergoing surgery, and post surgery, was smooth, efficient, and performed with respect, listening, care and competence. I would strongly recommend Dr. Ahmed.

Lifesaver, many times over!
Met Dr. Ahmed in the hospital when I had an emergency. I had horrible bleeding, and was terrified I was going to die. Dr. Ahmed was so kind, reassuring but at the same time confident. Almost all the nurses at John C Lincoln knew him as the nicest but incredibly capable doctor. Don't let his age fool you, the procedure he did for me was so technical, some of the other doctors and nurses were surprised I came out of the procedure so comfortably and had my bleeding stop. I have seen him in follow up in his office, and he has basically eliminated by bleeding sources entirely (veins in my esophagus). Highly recommend this young talented doctor to anyone! He has a heart of gold.

I had seen Dr Ahmed a few weeks ago at his office near John C Lincoln hospital a few weeks ago. Since I was teenager, I was given a diagnosis of gluten disease, but Dr Ahmed asked me some very specific questions to tease out if I really had gluten disease and he had some doubts about the diagnosis. He provided me with multiple options on how to proceed and gave me the positives and negatives of each approach. I ended up asking for him to perform an endoscopy of my upper GI system. He ended up proving that I have no obvious gluten related disease based on tissue samples he had taken. I had called his office a week later to ask him a few questions and I was surprised that I heard from the doctor directly the same day. He really cares about his patients and is very different from other doctors that I have seen in the past. His staff members in the office and procedures center are also very helpful, kind and professional. A+ experience and recommend highly!

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. 1. Scheduled appointment at 10am, I go in, they say I have to pay for a missed appointment that was at 9am. Thankfully I had a receipt for proof that my appointment was indeed at 10am. 2. Dr. Ahmed will do anything to get you out his door ASAP. Absolutely does not care about anything besides flinging prescriptions. Apparently extreme intestinal pain that causes collapse is "heart burn". Not a good MD. 3. Two prescriptions have been sent to the wrong pharmacy. Never have I ever changed pharmacies and I ensured all of my information was correct. Ahmed sent my Rx to a pharmacy 100 miles away. When I called to have it sent to the right pharmacy, they lied to me and said they'd do it and they ended up doing nothing. I'm even baffled as to how you mess this one up honestly. You literally had to have tried to go out of your way to be this dense.
