My first appointment was today. Everyone was very friendly. Everyone I spoke to, took time to ask me questions and answer whatever questions I had. I felt very comfortable and am looking forward to my next appointment.

Dr ahmed has been caring for my elderly father for many years. I couldn’t ask for a more compassionate person taking care of a family member. She has always been in direct contact with me as I am very involved with my fathers health. Each and every time my father needed to be hospitalized, she was always there. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for us both

I was referred to dr. Ahmed by my internist. Upon my first visit she showed sincere interest in my concerns, listened patiently and looked carefully at the records I brought. She has great bedside manner and the office staff are very welcoming and efficient. Highly recommended!

Incredible doctor, compassionate, trust worthy and the bed side manner of an angel. She may be running late on occasion but if your a long standing patient you will soon begin to realize why; there will never be a moment when you’re in the hospital without her giving the best care one could have!

I've gone to her numerous times and she's always running late due to chatting with her coworkers. I saw her chatting with them in the desk while I waited in the waiting room a half hour to be seen! Due to the outbreak she's no longer in on mondays of which I had an appointment and the office didn't call me to reschedule!

Horrible bedside manner. Thinks her time is more valuable than yours. Schedules appointments and then at the last minute says she is going to be late and says to come an hour and a half later then the appointment and still makes you wait 45 minutes to see her. Never answers your questions. Looks at you like you are stupid if you ask too many questions. Her office staff is more than incompetent. Will argue with you over everything. The best part is she was supposed to do a biopsy and never did it during the procedure. When asked why she didn't do the biopsy she never gave a straight answer.
