Testimonials

On 5/31/2025 Brandon Roberts had this to say:
I have been seeing dr. Ahmed for several years now and have always received good service. They have always managed to keep up with medication refills. Always called and reminded me the week in advance. I have never had an issue there. They have always been understanding and flexible with my schedule. Everything id expect out of a care facility has always been what I paid for and received.

On 8/23/2024 Hannah L had this to say:
Been going here for 10 years.

On 7/10/2024 Aly Bratcher had this to say:
Dr. Ahmed is one of the main psychiatrist here and they have an NP O. Taylor in psychiatry! They are really good at their job and show a lot of compassion in helping their patients. I have seen Dr. Ahmed for years and have also done counseling here with Ms. D. Shannon! Highly, highly recommended this place to whoever needs a good psychiatrist or counselor

On 10/26/2023 Jim Clauer had this to say:
I've been a patient of Dr. Ahmed for over 12 years. They provide a consistent and quality service. They have strict policies about no-shows and people who don't pay their bills, but I assume that is because they have to, especially with such a large focus on juvenile behavioral health. I even moved out of state and have new insurance that they don't accept, but they worked out a very reasonable self-pay plan with me and are seeing me virtually (which they can do since I'm self-pay). I need to find a new local doctor where I am now located, but have felt in no rush to do it since I still receive the same quality level of care even being out-of-state. If you're serious about getting help for yourself or your child and will follow through with your end of the deal and not play games you will have no issue. My ex brought her kids here and didn't have a great experience, but that was because they were constantly bucking the Doctor's orders and trying to control everything themselves rather than trusting in the doctor.

On 10/19/2023 Pamela Carey had this to say:
My family has been going to this specialist for almost twenty years, Dr. Ahmed has always been open and honest with us and listens to our concerns. I’m grateful for all that he’s done for our son with Autism. Ty
