I tell people about Dr. Ahad all the time. she is so personable and she really does care. not to mention her skills have to be some of the best in the country. I had no worries about her doing another surgery and actually looked forward to it. Mercy needs to keep her happy because she truly is an ambassador to the mission and vision Mercy is trying to convey.

the dr and her nurse did an excellent job. she made me feel so relieved to actually know that it's my gull bladder and that I wasn't making up the symptoms. both are very friendly and caring and love that feeling

The care and professionalism I received from Dr. Ahad and her staff has to be the best available in the Midwest. I had laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery 3 days ago, and already feel good and recovering well. Dr. Ahad made sure I understood everything about the progression of surgery, pain management, and recovery. I feel blessed and fortunate to be here where Mercy Hospital has state of art facilities and unparalleled staff.
