Patient Experience Reviews
As always, Kathleen in reception, Ambrosia the awesome nurse who fights for me when it comes to prior auth, and Dr. Ahmad show they truly care for their patients. I would definitely recommend this group to friends and family looking for a rheumatologist!
Dr. Was very helpful and took his time to explain everything. I'm a new patient, very pleased with everything.
Dr. Ahmed was wonderful. ***
My doctor is NUMBER 1!!!
Dr Ahmad is simply wonderful
Very positive first visit. Dr. was caring, kind, understanding, and compassionate.
First visit with him. He did not rush the visit and took the time to go through my records to find answers that I didn't know. It took a 20 minute drive to this appointment and I will do it again. He really cares about his patients.
Dr. Ahmad is excellent. I feel very confident that he watches my condition closely. He is nice to talk to and very understanding.I missed my originally scheduled appointment and when I called his office, they weren't rude about it, just immediately found the next available appointment. I went to his other office In Solon in order to see him quicker. They were so nice there! I felt comfortable immediately. A really great staff, they should all be recognized!
This provider was excellent. He thoroughly addressed the problem/s I was there for, and also gave me a plan for bursitis that my PCP missed. This will be my "go-to" rheumatologist for the future, if needed.
Very good provider. ***
Excellent Dr.

Very pleased.
Compassionare Care received.
Excellent care.
Doctor and nurse were exceptional. The entire office staff was so nice and helpful. I have not seen such a upbeat pleasant group of people in so long it was a joy to be there. The x-ray and blood work lab next door was just as helpful and happy. They all need a raise. ;)
Was straight forward with me. I appreciate that.
The care provider was nice and showed respect.
The doctor was very pleasant and answered all my questions.
Very happy with Dr Amahd
Happy with care from this provider.
I was happy that the doctor took his time to explain the benefits & side effects of the presciptions that I am or maybe taking.
Best Dr. Ever!!!
I am so happy I found Dr. Ahmad. He is upbeat, listens and makes me feel positive about the outlook of my condition. He gives me a better exam than I have had in a long time from my former rheumatologist. Great doc!!
Dr Ahmad was a wonderful. He took the time to explain everything to me and followed up with a phone call to go over my blood labs. It was well worth traveling from Fort Lauderdale to cleveland to see him and I'm looking forward to him working out a solution for my autoimmune issue.
Dr. Ahmad is very pleasant and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and I feel I am in good hands.
Dr. Was very kind during my anxious moments. Then when properly diagnosed, such relief
Excellent doctor, staff, well run efficient office
Excellent Team.
I appreciate him so much! He cares about my concerns with my health, and he answers every question that I ask him. I love that about him.
Dr Ahmed is a very good doctor. I would recommend him to others.

Love this office. They do a great respectful job.
Very knowledgeable and caring Doctor & Nurse.
Even though this was the first time I saw Dr. Riaz Ahmad, I've already recommended him to others! Dr. Ahmad was personable, extremely knowledgeable, careful to listen to my concerns, diagnosed and thoroughly explained the condition, progression and possible treatments. He is one of the all around best physicians I have ever seen!
Excellent
Wonderful doctor. Among UH's best.
Dr Ahmad always takes his time during my appointment to listen to me.
I always enjoy seeing Dr. Ahmad.
This was my first with Dr Ahmad. I was very comfortable with him. I didn't have my records from the previous dr, so he really took the time to ask me everything about my past with my condition. He was very thorough. Nice guy, glad I found him.
Very comfortable visit .
Very good
I really enjoy going to this care provider, Dr. Ahmad. I was very nervous when I had to go to an adult rheumatologist & am so happy I came across Dr. Ahmad. I feel as though he listens to my concerns and questions & helps me the best he can ! I really appreciate him & his whole staff every time I go there !
It was impossible for him to sit because of the epic computer When they had laptops it was easier. I think this question whether they were sitting is irrelevant. I have to think you want them sitting because why else would you have the question. But with this new epic deal it's very difficult. It's not the same as having a laptop

At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities.

At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
