Dr. Ahmed is great. I started going to him about 8 months ago for migraines. He is very attentive and I always get seen right away. I appreciate the front desk staff as well. Today I was afraid I would have to wait because I was a few minutes late but they checked me in and took me straight to an exam room.
June 29, 2017Natalie B.Verified patient
i felt that he didn't take enough time to explain how restless leg syndrome worked. i further asked him for treatment option and he said "don't get stressed".
i also asked him whether i need to increase dosage for medication. his response was "it's up to you".
i paid to get medical advice but was disappointed.
June 8, 2017Jay K.Verified patient
Dr. Ahmed was great. I'd highly recommend him. As a busy professional, I appreciate the time he took to help me get established with a neurologist after recently moving to the area. I'm happy to have found him.

May 2, 2016Cliff B.Verified patient
THIS DOCTOR SEEMS TO BE A VERY PLEASANT PERSON. MY APPOINTMENT WAS BRIEF AND UNCOMPLICATED SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO HIS ABILITY TO HANDLE DIFFICULT ISSUES.
February 25, 2016Borja N.Verified patient
I have been a patient at Dr. Ahmed,s since he opened his office. Ii highly recommend him. He is very easy to discuss issues with and great at reviewing treatment options. His diagnostic basis is in clinically proven treatment and has not steered me down experimental treatment. However, promising treatments such as DBS (deep brain stimulus) are also considered. His staff is professional and friendly.
February 17, 2016Charles G.Verified patient
Really liked Dr Ahmed. It was my first time and he really took his time to talk to me. He asked questions and really listened to my responses. Did not feel rushed at all which is sometimes the case with Drs these days.
January 9, 2016Mandi O.Verified patient
Best neurologist I've ever had. He truly listens and cares. He's also one of the few docs in the area that uses Botox for migraines. The botox has worked wonders on my chronic daily migraines.
Another huge thing is that his office staff is very nice. The main receptionist lady is very caring and helpful. Great office!!
December 23, 2015Jean J.Verified patient
I needed a new doctor because I am now on Medicare. I have used a CPAP for more than a decade and found Dr. Ahmend to be very helpful in making some adjustments to my treatment.
December 21, 2015Kevin C.Verified patient
I feel well taken care of by both Dr. Ahmed - whom handles my sleep management issues , and his supporting staff- who handle scheduling and Insurance items. Today was my third visit to his office over this past year and I would recommend this office to my family members and certainly anyone whom may be reading my message herein.
November 12, 2015Edward L.Verified patient
I meet with Dr Ahmed first time four years ago for sleep apnea. He diagnosed me with severe sleep apnea. The appointment for the machine was about 4 weeks out. He got in the phone with them. Made them come out within 24 hours to set me up with the machine. He showed me how serious a health problem sleep is. And everything he told me would happen has. I have more energy, I am more productive in work, I sleep much better, my quality of live is better. I tell everyone I know that needs a sleep dovtor see Dr Ahmed. Because mostly he cares. Thanks again Doc
October 23, 2015Patrick D.Verified patient
I've seen Dr. Ahmed before but I met him through ZocDoc. He's a great Neurologist. So far he's treated me for migraine. I know he does a lot of other kinds of things. My point is that he's helped me w/my headaches. It also helps that he takes my insurance and he's close to my house. If you have migraines or sleep problems I recommend that you see him.
December 1, 2015Sandra R.Verified patient
He is a great doctor. He really takes the time to listen to his patients and o determine the best course of treatment for them.
