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.

Couldn't have been more impressed with Dr. Ahmed! We are extremely fortunate to have someone with his skill available for our childs surgery. Thank you for taking such good care of our son.

Dr Ahmed was phenominal with my 3 year old daughter as we wer admitted to Golisano Children's Hospital. He thoroughly tested my daughter based on her symptoms to troubleshoot her symptoms and was able to diagnose her with ovarian torsion; a condition extremely rare in her age. I was very impressed with how informative and well mannered he was. She suffered for 2 days while trying to figure out what was wrong with her, and he did not operate until he was sure of what her problem was. #happymama

Dr. Ahmed was an amazing surgeon! Our brand new one day old son needed surgery. He was the surgeon that performed the operation. From the first phone call to us explaining the condition and procedure to the follow ups at his office, Dr. Ahmed has been absolutely wonderful!! I would 100 percent recommend him to anyone who is in need of his surgical talents!
