Wonderful man
September 20, 2026Richard B.Verified patientVideo visit
I didn't feel heard by Dr. M, I felt very brushed aside and disregarded. Even after I shared my experience with doctors doing the exact same thing to me. The conversation was all of maybe five minutes? The information shared wasn't helpful and it did not seem like he actually cared about what I had to say.
September 20, 2026Zaria K.Verified patientVideo visit

I was very surprised by this Doctor. He is knowledgeable and after seeing I was able to connect some dots about my health, but my experience was good. He listens, he took his time in answering all my questions and listening to my symptoms. Although, I haven't tried the medicine he prescribed because I have been able to sleep I am definitely glad that I met him.

Dr. Ahmed listened, asked questions, knew exactly what was talking about, and knew the right course of action. He also reminded me gently to get my annual physical exam things done. He assured me he would follow up with another appointment in 2 weeks. He was early and ready for the appointment. It was so simple to get this appointment done I am grateful. He also went out of his way to make sure my script was ready. He is very responsive and very engaging. Everyone should have a PCP like Dr. Ahmed.

This doctor is super cool! Soft spoken. Interested in all the things I had to share, (and handsome!) not that that matters. He’s young and warm, but totally gives the vibe that he cares deeply about providing a helpful service through practicing medicine. I’m absolutely going to use him for all three of my children and myself for any medical needs that can be remedied/diagnosed remotely.

Wow! I was blown away by Dr. Ahmed. He was punctual, caring, & professional. He listened to all my concerns & made himself available for any questions. He immediately contacted me after my blood results came in on a Sunday to discuss and advise. If that’s not a gold star doctor I don’t know what is. I will be recommending Dr. Ahmed to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for making an important part of life so easy for a full time working mom of 2 littles!
