"I can’t say enough about the office or the outpatient facility. I couldn’t find an office that didn’t have a 2 month waiting list and I was very discouraged 🫤 I called the office and was able to get an appointment in less than 2 weeks to see Dr. Ahmed, what a blessing. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and professionalism and only waited 10 minutes before being called back. I especially loved how Dr. Ahmed really took his time to listen to all of my concerns/questions as my anxiety level was high. His willingness to listen and took his time to explain my condition and treatment options with me, put me at ease. From his excellent treatment, investigative mind, professionalism and kindness, I knew that I had the right doctor!! I have since recommend him to my family/friends. Top notch care, thank you Dr. Ahmed!"

Phone Etiquette: A real person answers promptly – no elevator music torture. 3. Convenience: Easy in, easy out, with surprisingly close parking. 4. Team Cheers: They actually enjoy their job and treat you warmly. 5. Punctuality: No endless lobby waits – they respect your time. 6. Meet Val: Quick, compassionate, and she actually reads your forms before she calls you back! 7. Prompt Attention: Dr. Ahmed appears almost before you can finish admiring Val's efficiency. 8. Personality Plus: He’s got wit and charm, making awkward visits less awkward. 9. Comedy Relief: He gets it – might as well crack a joke or two. 10.

""New patient" registration was thorough and quick. They were willing AND able to get my hospital records quickly. Front office staff was friendly, happy to help. Dr. Ahmed's MA sat down and efficiently pre-screened me for the visit. Then Dr. Ahmed came in fully aware of my situation.

"Dr Ahmed said the one thing I have rarely come across with medical professionals and it's something, imo, that puts doctors like Dr Ahmed a step above his peers.

"Dr Ahmed is an absolute rockstar of a doctor, it was such a relief. He took his time listening and giving kind constructive advice and feedback. The front desk situation at this office however is an absolute train wreck. Major lack of communication and unnecessary attitude, paired with clerical errors in regard to filling prescriptions. I get it though, it must be hard to get good people to work front desks these days."

After the questions & exam he explained what he believed was the issue, then throughly explained the next few steps. Highly recommend"
"My historical GASTRO Doc retired leaving me to find a replacement. I was fortunate enough, as it turns out, to see Dr Ahmed. He was engaging, clearly an expert in his field , professional and , unlike my prior Dr, has a great sense of humor. He spent all the time I needed to have all my questions answered and I never felt rushed. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and the sense that this guy can really help me."
"Customer service was nice. Dr. Ahmed was very good letting us ask all of our questions. He was was patient with us. Awesome Dr. I feel safe with him. A lot of Dr.s just make you wait and tells what the situation is and not allow questions. You're in and out within ten minutes and he's gone."
