About me

Dr. Waseem Ahmad is a gastroenterologist who cares for patients with a broad range of digestive conditions and symptoms, such as heartburn, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits and gastrointestinal bleeding. He provides colon cancer screening and works with patients on prevention. He also performs diagnostic procedures, including colonoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), a test that uses an endoscope (a long, flexible tube with a tiny camera) to examine the upper digestive tract.

Ahmad earned his medical degree at Rush Medical College. He completed a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in gastroenterology at the University of California, San Diego, where he also served as chief fellow.

      I do feel there is a disconnect when meeting on Zoom versus in person. It is convenient to meet on Zoom, but this visit did not feel comprehensive.

      Dr. Ahmad was very courteous, patient, professional. A great test had been ordered by him and that helped a great deal. Be explained to me many things and answered all my questions. We made a plan.
