My whole experience with Dr Ahuja and his staff have been 5 star! He is very informative and makes you feel at ease. He answered every question, gave me his cell number for any reason I needed him and came from home to monitor me in the hospital.His staff is friendly and helpful. The office is warm and clean and everyone seems to like working there. I would absolutely recommend him to do any procedure, and trust him with my health. I work at SSM and have witnessed him with other patients also. He made me feel at ease and safe after complications in surgery in my past..... im looking forward to wonderful results!
