Goldman School of Dental Medicine as a leader of his clinical class, Dr. Ahmad Ahmad is an absolute professional regarding all facets of dental care. Dr. Ahmad has performed thousands of procedures, ranging from general family dentistry to advanced cosmetic treatments for in-need patients.
During the course of his career, Dr. Ahmad has made the betterment of others a key priority for his work. Recently, he completed a volunteering expedition to Honduras, providing dental care to impoverished people, many of whom had never seen a dentist before. The need to give back to his community was a value passed onto him by his parents, who are his biggest supporters. Dr. Ahmads father passed recently from a preventable cardiac disease an event that fueled Dr. Ahmads passion for preventive, systemic forms of health care.
When Dr. Ahmad is not providing world-class dental care, you can find him on the golf course or telling jokes to his lovely wife, Suzanne who is the light of his world. Dr. Ahmad uses his considerable skill, training and sense of personal responsibility to provide patients with not only industry-leading health care but also an overall health experience that is compassionate, effective, and above all, fun.

It is Dr. Alis compassionate nature that led him to Gibson City Hospital, where he still treats patients twice a week as the clinical director of the dental health clinic. There, he provides care for the low- income community with limited access to dental assistance.
