5.0 star star star star starDr Ahmad is a well rounded doctor. He is caring but also lets you know what areas of your health you can work on. Dr Ahmad always answers my questions. He makes me feel more than just a number, he tests me like a person as a doctor should. Dr Ahmad remembers precious appointments and concerns and take them into consideration when discussing your health and new procedures that need to be done. He is top notch doctor that combines the expertise of a doctor with the care and kindness I wish every human could show.

5.0 star star star star starDr Ahmad is the best doctor I have ever had ( and I have seen a lot of Drs). He listens, and explains things well and also helps you remain positive in what could be a bad situation. I never feel like he rushes through things.

5.0 star star star star starI have always liked Dr. Ahmad. He is straightforward and I will always remember my first ever appointment with him and how much he cared about my health. I’m not sure about the assistant or whoever following along for notes, but since they have been there he does seem a little less personable and very much more by the book/script. I do still appreciate him as my doctor either way though.

5.0 star star star star starI have confidence i Dr. Ahmad. Because he knows me so well, he knows how to explain things to me in a way that appeals to me. He treats me like an adult, and I know that he is honest with me when he tells me what I can and cannot do.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
