    One possible treatment might not be covered by insurance, the care provider alerted me to the possibility in a sensitive manner.

    Dr.Ahmad made this the best visit with a new doctor that I have ever had. He made me feel at ease, he asked all the right questions and answered all of mine. A ten out of ten!

    I had a great experience with Dr. Ahmed and would highly recommend him to others. After this very productive visit I have decided to move my primary health to UCSF. I am in the process of looking for a primary care doctor at UCSF.

    It wasn't asked, what my desired outcome of the visit was. I didn't want medications and imitate relief, but instead explanation of what could be causing my condition and what next steps would look like.

    Visit was too short. I waited months to be seen and didn't have time to ask all my questions. Now I have to wait months for another appt to address the rest of my issues.
