“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!!!!”

I stumbled across Dr. Saffa Ahmad on ZocDoc while I was searching looking for a Primary Care Physician & I'm so glad I found her! I really like her, I was very impressed, especially considering how young she looks but how experienced & knowledgeable she seems to be. She took her time to listen to me, to speak to me & explain things, & also to suggest things. Very nice, sincere, respectful, professional & all the things you want from a Doctor. Office is clean, staff was also very nice & professional. Overall, a very satisfying & pleasant experience.
