I went to shakeel ahmad for a physical. I was in good health and do not take any prescription medication. He said I was in the top one percent for health and did not prescribe medication and I asked no questions, only answered his. He charged me an additional $145 dollars because he asked me questions and I answered. I have a high deductible plan so I have to pay it out of pocket. This is just theft by another name.

I adore dr Ahmad, through the years he has taken such good care of me. But as the clinic has changed to northwestern I feel he doesn’t have time for me. He seems stressed out and sometimes i don’t think he even listen to everything. Just in a hurry. The wait time has gotten rediculous especially if you are really sick. Our family is thinking of switching clinics, you can no longer get appointments if your sick. Told to go to the Er or urgent care. What’s the point of having a doctor that knows you if they can’t see you.

After being treated for a long term problem by another doctor at his clinic, I was very dissatisfied. Once I switched to Dr. Ahmad, the quality of my care dramatically increased.
