Dr. Ahmed has extensive experience in athletic coverage, including professional events, and injury management across all levels of athletes. Specializing in non-surgical sports and spine medicine, Dr. Ahmed received her medical degree from the Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar, where she was also peer selected as the recipient of the Good Physician Award (“He/She that demonstrates those qualities of an ideal physician”). She completed her residency training in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Dr. Ahmed then pursued an interventional spine and musculoskeletal fellowship at a private practice in New York City’s bustling midtown Manhattan followed by a sports medicine fellowship at Stanford University, one of the country’s most prestigious programs.

With a Master of Science in human genetics as well as training in integrative medicine, she brings a unique understanding and approach to diagnosis, treatment and prevention of sports injuries. Dr. Ahmed’s treatment philosophy is one that incorporates and optimizes an individual’s nutritional status and lifestyle to cultivate and promote tissue healing, prevent injury and optimize performance. This approach in conjunction with her skill sets in regenerative orthopedics, diagnostic and interventional ultrasound has frequently resulted in profound success stories.

Dr. Ahmed’s research focus is on sports genetics and nutritional genomics. She is passionate about improving our understanding of the role of genetics in musculoskeletal injury risk as well as the molecular mechanisms that underlie physical performance, cellular aging, injury and repair. In the dawning age of genetic testing, Dr. Ahmed’s work is pioneering and paving her path as an expert in the emerging field of sports genomics.

    2026-04-29

  • Initially, she was somewhat abrupt because she was in a hurry and that mentioned that she had another patient waiting. So she needed to, I guess, get on with it or be in a hurry.

  • I was referred to Dr. Ahmed but she was unable to assist as so had no diagnosis. She was lovely and explained things to me clearly, but ultimately it was not a good use of my or her time and not a good use of my health insurance. The referral was premature.

  • It was an absolute pleasure meeting with Dr. Ahmed. She listened intently to my problems. She was aware of my past medical record. And in a clear, transparent conversation addressed she my problems and offered immediate answers (including referrals) and future options for me to consider. She followed up this appointment by providing 10 pages of notes of things for me to consider. I could not have asked for any better results from a medical appointment.

At the end of my appointment I felt like she really "got it" and that I was in good hands.
