- I can’t say enough good things about this doctor. Iv suffered headaches for two years and after seeing Dr Ahmed only a few times they have finally settled. He has such genuine care for his patients. Never rushed or unhelpful. Explains everything. Highly recommend! Also just a mention for his secretary, Sahar, really helpful person and lovely to deal with.Doctor's response -Thank you so much
- 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.Doctor's response -Thank you so much
