“Dr. Ahmad and her staff were amazing! They were literally waiting for me upon arrival and I was seen by the doctor, within 5-10 mins after completing the standard steps (blood pressure, weight etc). As this was my first appointment, I had to provide all details of my medical history. I did not feel rushed and was able to ask all my questions. Dr. Ahmad was patient and provided great insight and clarity (answers) to my questions. Her nurses were just as pleasant and thorough. I am so happy I found Dr. Ahmad through ZocDoc, she definitely lives up to all the positive and high rated reviews!!!!”
