Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Ahad?
I had a robotic hernia repair surgery on Thursday, December 7 and Dr Ahad was my surgeon. I just want to say that I have never had such a satisfying experience as this one as I encountered no pain, not a lot of bleeding or bruising. I didn’t get any staples as I had expressed my concerns to him beforehand, and he thoroughly went through everything that he was going to do. He was very pleasant, informative and empathetic during the entire process. He also advised me to lose weight, which was not bad at all and I did. My procedure was also outpatient and to this day I still have not experienced any pain. He and his team at Ascension Saint Agnes did us a SUPERB job. I highly recommend him for your procedure. Thank you to everyone that lent a hand with my medical care. God bless him and his Team.
