Verified patient
This doctor’s office arranged their patients to wait outside in their car until they called in. Patient has to text them to notify of arrival. After that they come along to take patient inside. They are doing that for Covid situation . Since Covid situation is better now they can omit this process since it’s time consuming. For those new patient it’s quite unusual and surprising if they are dropped off by other household member.
Verified patient
My experience with the Skin clinic was very positive. The staff was friendly but professional. I didn't have to wait much at all to see the physician. Dr. Ahmed was very professional and listen to my c/o. Dr. Ahmed, also advised me if my psoriasis doesn't clear up within 2 weeks to make an appointment with him. I would recommend Dr. Ahmed to any of my colleagues and friends.
Verified patient
The provider was very professional and knowledgeable. He went over in detail what was happening with me and what insurance wouldn’t cover and out pocket fee. Medical assistant very caring and helpful.
Verified patient

Verified patient
Great bedside manner - so friendly and thorough!
Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Ahmed was great! He is very engaging, took the time to look over my skin condition, and was keen to recommend tips and treatments that will help keep it away after the medication dose is complete. All doctors should have the enthusiasm of Dr. Ahmed - being able to prescribe medications, but also take the time to listen about prior history and how to prevent it from recurring. The sign in procedure is also excellent - text the office when you reach the parking lot, and someone from the staff will bring paperwork and get you when ready for your appointment. Will definitely go back to Dr. Ahmed for any future dermatological needs.
