Dr. Ahmad was very generous with his time. His questions were good in that he got current information and used that to help understand my medical past. His insight helped to make meaningful recommendations for referrals in my case. I really appreciated the way Dr. Ahmad showed his concern for my labs by explaining them and making further recommendations. Very objective, yet human and respectful.
