Patient Experience Reviews
All good
Always a great experience! Dr Ahmad is a wonderful and caring doctor!
*** at the front desk is always so polite and cheerful. The nurse who saw me before Dr. Ahmad - can't remembered her name - she was great at checking in on things. As always, Dr. Ahmad checks in on the arthritis and also the general human being. I really enjoy working with this crew to keep my arthritis in check. Happy holidays!
My doctor is the most caring doctor around. He explains things and he makes me feel good. His new MA is very good too. Everybody in the office is excellent thank you.
Always a pleasant visit with Dr Ahmad
I was very impressed with Dr. Amad. He was very knowledgeable and treated me with respect and kindness.
Very pleased with the appointment.
The provider is very caring and thorough doctor.

Dr. Ahmad always takes the time that is necessary to address all my concerns. He never makes me feel like I am being rushed because he is running behind. He is very personable and caring.
Great
Great experience every time!
I am very thankful for having a wonderful Dr that cares about me 100%
Dr. Alagarsamy is a wonderful and very thorough doctor. She replaced my doctor that I have been going to for 24 years. I have been so pleased to have her as my new Primary care physician. She is very detail oriented, and her notes in my chart are straight from her dictation which is not the common among doctors. After 24 years with one doctor, I truly feel I have made a connection with Dr. *** . She is kind, understanding, listens and is very thorough. I would recommend her to everyone and already have to my daughters
Dr Ahmad is a wonderful doctor!!!

Very good care from Dr. Ahmad
As always, Kathleen in reception, Ambrosia the awesome nurse who fights for me when it comes to prior auth, and Dr. Ahmad show they truly care for their patients. I would definitely recommend this group to friends and family looking for a rheumatologist!
Dr. Was very helpful and took his time to explain everything. I'm a new patient, very pleased with everything.
Dr. Ahmed was wonderful. ***
My doctor is NUMBER 1!!!
Dr Ahmad is simply wonderful
Very positive first visit. Dr. was caring, kind, understanding, and compassionate.
First visit with him. He did not rush the visit and took the time to go through my records to find answers that I didn't know. It took a 20 minute drive to this appointment and I will do it again. He really cares about his patients.
Dr. Ahmad is excellent. I feel very confident that he watches my condition closely. He is nice to talk to and very understanding.I missed my originally scheduled appointment and when I called his office, they weren't rude about it, just immediately found the next available appointment. I went to his other office In Solon in order to see him quicker. They were so nice there! I felt comfortable immediately. A really great staff, they should all be recognized!
This provider was excellent. He thoroughly addressed the problem/s I was there for, and also gave me a plan for bursitis that my PCP missed. This will be my "go-to" rheumatologist for the future, if needed.
Very good provider. ***

Compassionare Care received.
Excellent care.
Doctor and nurse were exceptional. The entire office staff was so nice and helpful. I have not seen such a upbeat pleasant group of people in so long it was a joy to be there. The x-ray and blood work lab next door was just as helpful and happy. They all need a raise. ;)
Was straight forward with me. I appreciate that.
The care provider was nice and showed respect.
The doctor was very pleasant and answered all my questions.

Happy with care from this provider.
I was happy that the doctor took his time to explain the benefits & side effects of the presciptions that I am or maybe taking.
Best Dr. Ever!!!
I am so happy I found Dr. Ahmad. He is upbeat, listens and makes me feel positive about the outlook of my condition. He gives me a better exam than I have had in a long time from my former rheumatologist. Great doc!!
Dr Ahmad was a wonderful. He took the time to explain everything to me and followed up with a phone call to go over my blood labs. It was well worth traveling from Fort Lauderdale to cleveland to see him and I'm looking forward to him working out a solution for my autoimmune issue.
Dr. Ahmad is very pleasant and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and I feel I am in good hands.
Dr. Was very kind during my anxious moments. Then when properly diagnosed, such relief
Excellent doctor, staff, well run efficient office
