- My mother had an appointment for cognition and memory. Dr Ahmed had a clear process to evaluate her notes and go through a memory check. Finally he offered to write to her GP with recommendations for tests and prescribed treatment. Once her scan is complete she will see Dr Ahmed again for a follow up. Pleased with everything.
- Dr Ahmed is an absolutely brilliant consultant ant and helped to very much improve my condition. He was professional, very conscientious and listened to my concerns before responding and giving advice. I can’t thank Dr Ahmed enough for helping and reassuring me and would highly recommend him.
- I’m extremely grateful for the care I received. Despite having limited background information and few prior tests, Dr Imtiaz Ahmed quickly and accurately diagnosed my condition. The diagnostic process was impressively efficient, and I appreciated the quick turnaround. The office ran smoothly, and I felt I was in capable hands throughout. Highly recommend for anyone needing neurological evaluation.
- Friendly and outgoing; able to easily put the patient at ease. Can explain symptoms/conditions in easy to understand terms. Would highly recommend for neurological incidents and treatment.
- Dr Ahmed helped me considerably with my long lasting and often coming migraines which were becoming more and more unbearable. He sent me for a brain MRI and advised me on medication and vitamins. in our follow up appointment i could already tell him the benefits of the therapy he gave me. My life has changed. The migraines have mainly stopped. I had only 1 ever since and it was so much milder than before. I would like to thank Dr Ahmed for helping me.
- Dr Imtiaz Ahmed was very friendly and professional. He listened well and allowed me to explain everything to him that I was concerned about without rushing me. He also took the time to ensure I was fully informed and understood everything that he had explained throughout our consultations and from the test he refferred me for.
- Dr Imtiaz has been outstanding from the start. He listens carefully, never rushes appointments, and explains things very clearly. He is patient, reassuring, and his support has made a real difference. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a neurologist who combines expertise with genuine care.
- Dr Ahmed has a very professional demeanour and possesses excellent communication skills which he effectively used to patiently listen and elicit information needed to enable him to correctly diagnose and treat my condition. I highly recommend him.Doctor's response -Thank you
