Dr Amad is the most caring person and physician anyone could ask for. He's a excellent doctor in his field and cares deeply about his patients whoever you may be. I will go to the mood and back with his skills. Copper should be happy he's on the team. Thank you!

I have a LOT of Dr.'s at MDAnderson. They are all terrific. I feel well informed and armed with knowledge about my treatments and visits. Not only are they excellent doctors but they are compassionate "people" who are sensitive to their patients concerns.

This was a second opinion. I have. Nothing but nice things to say about how I was treated. Cooper is a little far away for me otherwise I would absolutely put my trust in the doctor I saw and all the support staff was fabulous.

I may have pressed the wrong button for the first one. I did not wait any longer than two minutes. I was informed that he would be with me shortly. He came in seconds later after I was seen by the nurse as well. The whole office is super duper friendly, especially the nursing staff in the front and the triage nurse. The doctor was extremely friendly as well. He heard all of my concerns and helped me find a resolution, as well as asking me necessary questions that I felt needed to be asked without even knowing. And I had a very great experience.

Yesterday was my first visit and I was extremely happy with everything and everybody! Dr Ahmad was wonderful and his nurse Morgan was also. The survey seemed geared to patients who have been there more than once but it was a very positive experience so I rated everything highly.
