Meeting Dr. Ahmad is the best thing that could have happened to me in my life, speaking in terms of health. Dr. Ahmad is an extraordinary doctor and an even better human being. Dr. Ahmad has helped me a lot with my atrial fibrillation problem and has solved it in the best possible way, in medical and professional terms. Dr. Ahmad is a very valuable asset to JH and I am extremely happy to have been his patient for almost a year.
