About Me
As a family medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I specialize in disease management and preventive medicine. I believe in using a holistic approach to patient care. I think it’s important to be mindful of where patients live and the unique set of challenges that they face. I am also interested in health policy and public health issues that directly impact urban underserved communities and medically vulnerable patients.
My favorite part about working at Ohio State is the diverse patient population that I get to treat. CarePoint East has a great staff and an excellent support system. I also enjoy teaching medical students and residents how to provide quality health care to underserved communities.
In my free time I enjoy drawing, playing basketball and watching sports.

I have no negative comments about Dr.Ahmad,he listens to my concerns and questions and definitely follows up with clarification. As a Black Gay Man it is definitely a good feeling to have a Medical Professional who cares and listens,that isn't always the case with many Care Providers they can be dismissive and rude towards Communities of Color but not Dr.Ahmad he truly gets it,he and I had this discussion during my initial visit with him last year. Representation truly matters.... I wish this same attitude was present across the board at OSU Medical Center.
