Reviews
"My grandmother had an operation from Dr Ahmed 3 years ago. She was in critical condition with an infection in her valve and was too weak for open heart surgery but something needed to be done because she had multi organ failure. Dr Ahmed was able to come up with a new way to go through the leg and suck out the infection . She’s doing great!"
"My mother had her heart fixed by Dr Ahmed a month ago and she is doing great. Last year she was struggling and had big fluid build up and a very weak heart. The medications were difficult to take and then we were sent to Dr Ahmed and his team at UAB to get the valve repaired. Now she is able to walk more,cook and clean and just doing so much better. She was scared before the procedure but she left it to the lord to handle and also they were sweet to her. I thank god."
"Dr. Ahmed is absolutely exceptional. I cannot thank him enough for his expertise and care during my recent heart catheter procedure. From the moment I met Dr. Ahmed, I felt reassured by his calm demeanor and evident knowledge. I can say the same for his outstanding support team. They took the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly, addressing all my concerns with patience and empathy. His team is comprised of true professionals. The procedure itself, in my particular case, was quite complex, but Dr. Ahmed handled it with remarkable skill and precision. His confidence and competence were truly reassuring throughout. Not only did Dr. Ahmed successfully navigate the intricacies of catheterization, but he also ensured I was comfortable and well-informed at every stage. Post-procedure, Dr. Ahmed and his team continued to demonstrate their commitment to my recovery, checking in regularly and adjusting treatment as necessary. Their dedication to patient care is evident in every interaction. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmed to anyone seeking top-notch cardiac care. He and his team's expertise, combined with genuine compassion, makes them an outstanding cardiology team. Thank you, Dr. Ahmed, for your exceptional care and for going above and beyond to ensure my health and well-being."
"We went to see Dr Ahmed to get an expert opinion after my mom’s symptoms had become so bad that she was unable to walk a few steps or complete a sentence without shortness of breath. This was very difficult for her as she has always been incredibly independent. She is 93 years old, is able to drive, play bridge several times a week and enjoys multiple other activities, including working in the garden. She had a severely leaky tricuspid valve. There was a new procedure available, called the “valve clip which Dr Ahmed agreed to do. She now feels like a new person. She is able to breathe much better and has more energy. Amazingly, she is now back to being the matriarch of our family. This picture tells it all, she had just pulled a wheelbarrow from the side of the carport and pulled a bag of soil out of the greenhouse! That’s amazing! Thank you Dr. Ahmed!"
"So deserving of all 5 stars and more! So glad to have Dr Ahmed care for my mom! He is patient and listens to his patients needs and concerns. He and his supportive staff always look out for the best healthcare options for the patient. I must say I was truly amazed at how thorough he is and he consistently goes above and beyond to cover all bases regarding my mom’s care. My mom was abruptly transferred to his care and it was a scary time for our whole family. Dr Ahmed was a breath of fresh air and very reassuring when he arrived in the room. 10/10 recommend!"
