How likely are you to recommend Dr. Ahmed?
I was cursed with bad genes that resulted in terrible bags under my eyes. I was fortunate to find Dr Ahmed and when I met with her I was immediately impressed with her calm confidence and the way she described the changes I could expect from the surgery. The day of the operation I checked into the surgery center where I met Dr Ahmed who reassured me that I could expect positive changes to my eyes in the next week after I healed. The surgery and recovery were virtually painless. The results 2 weeks later have completely exceeded my expectations. When I look in the mirror I can't believe how much better I look. My wife was so impressed with my results that she scheduled surgery for her eyelids with Dr Ahmed as well. Dr Ahmed is one of those rare doctors who listens and communicates very well while being a skilled surgeon. If you need any type of operation on your eyes Dr Ahmed can be trusted completely and her staff at Total Eye Care in Buffalo Grove is world class.
