July 14, 2015Howard J.Verified patient
As always, Dr. Ahmad cuts to the chase, pulls no punches and always offers suggestions on how to improve or maintain one's health. I feel confident that when he tells me he will look into a health concern that he will actually do it. If he tells me I have nothing to worry about it, I believe it because he always backs up his diagnosis with information.

Dr. Ahmad was very professional and very helpful in letting me know what my problem was for the visit and recommending what I needed to do to heal and get better and taking precautions so hopefully it doesn't happen again. The receptionist was very helpful also in explaining my insurance and the paperwork that I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmad.

Great communicator, looked me in the eye when talking to me, explained California Law to help me better understand both of our situations and I will definitely see Dr Ahmad in the future!!
March 25, 2015Jon-michael K.Verified patient
Doctor was not helpful at all. He disregarded everything I told him about my itchy condition and was borderline insulting. He obsessed about how much alcohol I consume and paid no attention to the fact that i had gone in for knee pain and a skin rash(aside from implying I am an alcoholic, he prescribed tylenol and Benedryl for my chronic itching and knee pain). He was disinterested and showed 0 compassion. I would never recommend him and will not be returning to his office.

First experience with him and was great! Very competent & professional, I wish every doctor put the amount of time, thoughtfulness, and detail into an exam. He was running behind on patients had to wait longer than I wanted, but the wait was offset with excellent medical care. Answered all my questions and make detailed recommendations.

August 29, 2013Penpark C.Verified patient
He was very honest and straight-to-the-point but what I loved is that he was real. He admitted that he too indulges in foods that aren't necessarily healthy but still advised against them. He also put many of my long-time concerns to rest and showed a wealth of knowledge of several issues and recommending that I get second opinions from specialists.
