I wanted to send a note of thanks to Dr. Ahmad for his help last night during an allergic reaction my daughter was having. I unknowingly served an item with wal...nuts (careless) and my 17 yo immediately had a reaction. Dr. Ahmad was on call and called me back within less than 2 minutes of leaving a message. He was able to evaluate my daughter via FaceTime, consulted Dr. Strauss who is her regular dr. and instructed us to administer epinephrine. He stayed on the phone the whole time and kept us calm (well, tried to). He then called back multiple times throughout the night to check on her. I was so nervous knowing we couldn't go to an ER during this time but he was amazing and gave me confidence that she was getting the right care. Thank you! See more
