There is no reason patients should wait an hour or more after being assessed by the many students within the clinic. As far as the care he has many things on site, but can be passive sometimes if the patient is not consistent and determined with their concerns. He also seems to be double booking which means patients spend about 15 minutes with him the "Dr" but wait way past their appointment. How are you to be tentative to the patients concerns and well- being.

The entirety of my experience with Park Slope Cardiac and Diagnostic Services staff and Ijaz Ahmad,…read moreMD, FACC was abysmally underwhelming. All patients, including myself, were treated n the most condescending manner by staff who were largely incompetent at best and on some cases showed signs of poor health themselves. In my experience I witnessed and experienced inappropriate orders and insufficient information given to patients at appointments, a well as upon follow up. By far, my most serious complaint is that it took three months, multiple calls, and a string of increasingly threatening messages with regard to my privacy rights under HIPAA to obtain the results of the cardiology workup for which I'd been referred to Dr. Ahmad to perform and are my lawful right to possess. It would appear that both the doctor and the administrative staff at Park Slope Cardiac and Diagnostic Services are not only perfect models of the Dunning-Kreuger Effect, but also consider themselves to be above the law with respect to their lawful obligations to their patients.

Pro's: close to my apartment, Dr. Ahmad was nice enough when I met him in person. Some of the staff were really trying. Con's: you have to advocate for yourself SO HARD here and even be aggressive just to get things done and moving, since the staff are so disorganized and unprofessional. I needed a copy of my echo and it turned into the most difficult process, involving me calling and talking to multiple staff and insisting I needed the reports that my pulmonologist required instead of a follow-up / going in person and talking to multiple staff just to slowly find out they didn't have anyone who knew how to export a sonogram file / running to Walgreens to get a USB for them / dropping that off / returning the next day when the person that knew how to export the file was in. Also, I was told I'd get the results on a Saturday, sure enough got a call, but was from a very confused Dr. Ahmad who asked me why he was calling me, then said he'd call back and hung up? I reached out Tuesday when I hadn't heard from him and after much back and forth the staff said he's call me the next day. He did call and report was abnormal. His explanation of what they found was very limited and without any detail on the severity etc. He told me he'd refer me to another specialist that I needed, asked for my email, then took 2 days to send a 1-line referral. The communication between the staff throughout the process was the worst, including resulting in me getting an EKG instead of an echo which the doc agreed was totally unnecessary.

Also extends to how they interface with the more stable patients though. Dr. Ahmad, the head of this practice, immediately came across within 30 seconds of meeting as a laughably insecure, condescending, and patronizing man. A Medicaid patient isn't a punching bag--they are a person and they want the same as a person with the finest insurance, namely respect. I hadn't made an appointment with him, but he dismissed the concern expressed about that. The doctor I had made an appointment with was nowhere to be found and no explanation was given. Dr. Ahmad did not want to explain and his attending assistant sat in cowed silence nearby. One wonders about the interpersonal dynamic there. The doctor seemed oddly angry and resentful--I really can't emphasize that enough. I simply walked in when called, sat down, and he was glaring daggers. Creepy way to start, but if that's how he wants to run his practice, well, now you know. I waited longer to get my referrals than I did in any time with doctor or assistant. I asked politely several times, and kept my manners going until I could mercifully leave this office. I'll pray for the people who still go.

When I think of Dr. Jones, I do not think of him merely as a cardiologist. I think of him as the…read moreperson who looked me in the eye in November of 2020 and, with both conviction and compassion, told me the truth that changed my life. That day, I walked into his office believing I was simply establishing care for some distant future. I walked out with a diagnosis that shook me to the core: severe diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. My A1C was 13.9, a number so high that it should have had me in a diabetic coma. Dr. Jones did not soften the blow. He told me clearly, "If you want to live, you have to change your life today." Those words, and the urgency in his voice, became the turning point of my entire health journey. Diabetes had ravaged the men in my family for generations. I had seen it take limbs, vision, and eventually life. That day, however, I chose to fight, and Dr. Jones chose to fight with me. What sets Dr. Jones apart is not only his extraordinary medical expertise, but also his humanity. He treats his patients as full people, not as charts or problems to be managed. In moments when other medical professionals dismissed me, mischaracterized me, or failed to listen, Dr. Jones advocated for me. He spoke up for my dignity when I no longer had the strength to do so. He defended my integrity when others tried to question it. He stood firm when it would have been easier to remain silent. That kind of advocacy cannot be taught. It comes from character, from a profound sense of calling, and from an unshakable moral compass. Today, because of Dr. Jones, I am no longer diabetic. My A1C has dropped below the critical 5.7 threshold. I have reversed an illness that once defined my family's legacy. I am healthier, stronger, and more alive than I have ever been. This is not only the result of lifestyle changes or discipline. It is the direct fruit of a doctor who believed in me, who guided me with wisdom, and who reminded me at every step that my life was worth saving. Dr. Jones represents what healthcare should be. He is the kind of physician who not only heals bodies but also strengthens families, sustains communities, and gives us more time with the people we love. I am forever grateful that our paths crossed. He is not just my doctor. He is, quite literally, the reason I am still here. If you are searching for a cardiologist who will combine brilliance with compassion, candor with care, and clinical excellence with genuine humanity, look no further. Dr. Jones is the one.

Not all of the staff was unprofessional or caused me immense pain, but it's happened enough that I feel like I have to say something. During a routine gynecology appointment, a male doctor hurt my vagina so terribly that I was in excruciating pain during the exam and then throughout the rest of the day. It hurt to sit or do anything. Then I was treated for a bullet wound in the ER and wasn't given any pain medication during the visit or after being released, not even a prescription for pain killers. Two different professionals poked my bullet wound and surrounding area without giving me pain killers or asking my permission to prod the area repeatedly. And I was put in even more pain with tests and wound cleaning and what a nurse said was an unnecessary amount of IV needles in my body. There were nice doctors and nurses present too, but overall it was an awful experience. Also I asked for a snack because I hadn't eaten in hours and they refused.
