5.0 star star star star starAhmad was very willing to communicate the results of my procedure and answered all my questions. He also was friendly and patient on this day after having to work an emergency procedure which delayed him to attend his scheduled office appointments.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ahmad took so much time explaining to me what needed to be done with Aortic Valve surgery. When it came time for my surgery Dr. Ahmad made me feel comfortable and relaxed before surgery. Everyone that was in the operating room were very caring and kept talking to me explaining what they were doing to prep me for surgery. I would definitely refer people to Dr Ahmad, without a doubt.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderDr. Ahmad seemed knowledgeable, but he lacked the patience or interest to deal with an elderly man who has hearing and processing difficulties. This is not unique to Dr. Ahmad but considering that the majority of candidates for the TAVR procedure are older and have health issues, perhaps more attention to how to communicate with them is in order.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Ahmad is a highly skilled surgeon and a very professional and caring individual. The entire medical team at Northwestern Bluhm is nothing short of amazing. It is what I expect of the very best care possible in a cardiac unit anywhere.
