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.
