Patient Reviews

Nov 24, 2024

I am very pleased with Dr. Ahmed's care. I have long Covid and he has stayed on top of my care. My lungs were damaged and he put me on oxygen full time for 2 years, then assessed my lungs and found they were healing, so I only had to use oxygen at night. Recently he noticed my lungs weren't sounding good, had a cat scan done and diagnosed pulmonary fibrosis. Probably from the long Covid. I'm back on oxygen full time for the rest of my life. I'm glad he made the diagnosis when he did!
