Dr. Osama I Ahmed, MD

After a fusion at 8 am I repeatedly asked to be flipped or turned by staff at the spinal surgery center. 12 hours later I complained about my leg not moving. The staff felt I was crazy. After a Ct they found Dr Amhed left a screw on my L4 nerve (the pain on my L4-L5 which was the reason I was there). After going back in he took the screw out which didn’t help the pain from that damage. After leaving the hospital I was told to go to his office about a stitch coming out and puss coming out. He stuck a butterfly stitch on it. The next day my home health had me at the hospital for the infection he just closed back up. I had two sacs of infections next to my spinal cord. After 3 surgeries to get rid off the infection, and damage to my nerves farther. Almost a year later I still can’t walk without a knee brace. I am on heavier meds than before surgery. He left me to his PA after this. My blood pressure would drop and I would fall asleep standing or sitting. I failed to show up for a… follow up and they didn’t check on me. Legent Orthopedic and Spinal where I had my surgery said he hadn’t had an infection in 18 months. I guess they didn’t know about those of us who went elsewhere to have surgery to clean up his mess. I wouldn’t take my worst enemy to Dr. Ahmed or that faculty. As I got the infection starting at my spine yet said I grew it myself. I went to have a better and more helpful time with my two year old. But, have spent the last year in bed because of him!

I liked Dr Ahmed but I've lost faith in him and I feel like he abandoned me when I needed him the most. Some of his front staff, one person in particular; is very rude and has no empathy for the patients at all. I'm more than likely going to be looking for a new neuro surgeon because I feel like each time that I go there it's for nothing.

The doctor is fine. Knowledgeable and good bedside manner. The office is poorly staffed and unorganized. They'll screw up paperwork and won't send in authorizations on time causing issues.

Dr. Ahmed did my neck surgery C2 thru C6. My Blood platelets were in the twenties yes 20's. Not just any Dr. will do surgery with the platelets being this low. Well he did and I came out like a brand new lady. with very minimal pain. I recommen him to anyone out there who is looking for a excellent neurologist.

If you need a neurosurgeon you can stop looking. I have entrusted him with my father's care and have sat in on his appointments with Dr. Ahmed. Dr. Ahmed is one of the most professional, patient, and bright young surgeons you will have the opportunity to be treated by. You immediately feel at ease because he "intently listens to the patient", "explains things so eloquently and at a level you can understand" and "ultimately gives the patient utmost confidence in his abilities through his knowledge as a surgeon". Other doctors could learn from his bedside manner and medical expertise. He is one in a million.
