Dr. Ahmad and the office team are great! They've been very helpful and accommodating. I appreciate the thoroughness with which Dr. Ahmad reviews my medical history, including any relevant tests. I appreciate having these folks as part of my care team!

Update to 3-star review: the day after my review below, Tuesday, the office finally called my husband back and let him know his prescription would be sent for his supplies. We received a tracking number today, Thursday. If they had not needed a bad review to motivate them to do their basic job, I would have great things to say about this office. Ensuring basic medical needs shouldn’t take this much effort. We have two insurance coverages and the request was not a hard one. I still consider this fairly poor patient care, but I updated the review to 3stars for the quick response after my initial review.

Original 1-star review:
My husband has type 1 diabetes. He was supposed to have a prescription for insulin pump supplies renewed inJanuary for continuing care, but it was not submitted for filling and we’ve been trying to get it done and filled for a couple months. My husband is out of his diabetic supplies now and still waiting on this office to properly submit the prescription. No one has done so and they are not even returning calls or helping us with it at this point. We are looking for a new doctor, which will even further delay proper treatment and could pose serious health ramifications for my husband. We tried reaching out to Scripps as well with no progress. I do not recommend this doctor or anyone associated with Scripps at this point, unless you have no actual health issues that need care or attention.
