Dr. Ahmed gave me great medical advice and encouraged me to follow up with another provider regarding symptoms I was having that I thought were related to my thyroid but she suspected another cause. She even recommended weight baring exercise to address a concern. She really took time to listen to and address my concerns.

She is always very pleasant to talk to and is always concerned about my overall health not just the specific reason I am there to see her. She always treats the specific reason but before she recommends a course of action she also makes sure there aren't any other conditions that may be the cause of what I am experiencing.
