Only two visits to them and must admit there was one horrible impression with the person who answered the phone. Other than that one time, however, we've found the staff to be very kind. Dr. Narrasimmon was recommended to us by our neighbor whose husband is a physician so I feel she is a good choice for us. She seemed confident, pleasant, no nonsense, answered my questions. Only one problem for me is she brought an intern in with her. This seems to happen all the time lately at doctor offices, not only here but my friends up north too. I get that they have to learn but I really don't want an audience. Let them learn on someone else, please. Second visit I saw the PA and was very happy with her. Here last name is Rudolph I think - sorry if I got that wrong. Absolutely lovely woman and helped me, answered questions thoroughly. Really liked her. read more

My first visit to this office made me very happy because I thought I had found a caring doctor who would do more than enter the room, and then stand the entire time for a 4 exminute visit beginning with: Why did you come here? (and making it very clear that he or she had looked at nothing, or very little, on my chart to at least give the doctor an idea about Me and some of my health issues.) Dr. Ahmed seemed to see me as a person, and not just a 5 minute patient whose name was forgotten before exiting the room. Unfortunately, however, not much later came the problems with her staff, and also the staff at the facility. Most were rude, unprofessional, impolite, and seemed to think working as a medical "helper" made them much better than the patients, many of whom are well-respected, very educated, and hold important positions here in town. (Having nearly a Ph.D. degree and being a University instructor doesn't make me better than someone else.... but it also certainly makes me good enough to be treated professionally, and without being lied to by these young kids trying to cover their own mistakes and short-comings.) There were 2 of these persons who lied and tried to make me look like a fool........... and THAT was the end of my having any trust in this doctor because it seemed that she preferred to take the easy way and believe the lies of these kids without attempting to learn what had truly happened! AND from what I heard in the waiting room as many of us waited and waited, other patients were experiencing the same type of treatment with the staff and Dr. Ahmed. What a shame that this doctor is not paying attention to the number of patients never returning to her. Just because many different tourists come every year doesn't mean that one day this trade of 1 appt. per each vacationing tourist isn't going to run out. And when there are no longer any lines of tourists waiting, Dr. Ahmed is going to need those of us who are not snow birds! We local people who make Bradenton what it is might finally attain the importance we deserve. But by that time, we will have found the Doctors and Dentists who know how to treat all patients with the deserved respect and professionalism.... and we won't need these other medical names who still probably haven't learned that respect begets respect. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ahmed's for 20+ years and love as well as respect her. Her and her staff have always treated me with kindness and respect. I feel compelled to address some of the reviews I've read. Living in a vacation destination/retirement location you have to have patience. I understand that last minute appointments are squeezed into an already busy day and that some patients may be called ahead of me, even if they'd arrived after me (been there done that, and I realize they could be being called back for one of the other 4+ physicians there). I also understand that during season they are more than busy and to make my appointments earlier in the morning/day. read more

I really liked the Nurse Practitioner I was seeing. The office staff are absolutely dreadful. I had to find a new doc ONLY because of them. They don't acknowledge anybody coming in. It's a huge annoyance for them to be torn away from whatever they're doing just to check people in. They also overcharge. Every single time I went there, they'd pull me in the back to tell me I couldn't be seen unless I paid a certain amount. Was treated like a criminal. They are AWFUL. I wish the PA would leave there so I could see her again. read more

Staff is unresponsive to patient needs. Chatting amongst themselves ignoring patients. Their phone system is horrible. After announcing useless information and annoying prompts patient ends up leaving a message. Return calls are unreliable at best. In another incident they coded a script wrong and would not or could not fix it. As a result my insurance refused to pay. In my recent appointment I was interviewed by an inexperienced intern. When the doc finally entered the exam room she asked a couple of questions and left the room before allowing me to explain why I was there. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. Unprofessional office all the way around. Staff is rude and lazy. Calls are not returned. Coordinating with arranging referrals is non existent. The 3 different doctors we saw at the 5 visits offered no resolution to medical issues at hand. We gave them a fair chance to change our opinion of the entire practice. Don't waste your time with this practice. read more

Dr. Ahmed is a wonderful professional. Cannot say enough nice things about her and her PAs! My entire family uses this office, and has always had positive experiences. I saw the other reviews and had to chime in... great doctor! No issues! Easy appointment scheduling, friendly staff, knowledgeable and professional. read more

I was seeing Dr. Ahmed for about a year. It is one of the most unorganized places I've ever been during the Covid I had an appointment for a physical they came out and gave me my blood work in my hand and said she wants to talk to me online I stood there in front of the receptionist and made an appointment for a physical I don't know how they're going to do physical face-to-face online. I figured this is the last time they're going to goof up because they goofed up before so I'm changing doctors mistake coming here. read more

Second visit here, I wanted to give it another shot before writing a review. Front desk is RUDE AF, they don't acknowledge you when you walk in they just look at you and get back to work(if that's really what they're doing). First appointment I waited 1 hour this appointment has been 35 minutes and counting to even be called back. This is the absolute worst place to go. It's a shame because I like the nurse practitioner that I see but I will never come back here. If you don't have customer service experience you shouldn't t work in a doctors office- seems like they will hire anyone here! read more

Would give no stars if possible for the staff. Dr Ahmed is good, the staff needs some work. Called for a same day appt, waited 45 minutes . 7 people who came in AFTER me were called in before me. Then it all became clear, they were passing solar eclipse glasses around. I guess it's more important to see the eclipse than care for a patient who pays their salaries. After my comments I received a certified letter saying they would no longer accept appointments from me . What a joke! Some people can't handle the truth!! read more
