About Ahmed Dakka, MD

Philosophy of Care

What sets my style of practice apart is my belief in the power of collaboration. I see the doctor-patient relationship as a partnership, where patient insights and concerns are valued. I take the time to listen attentively to the medical history, lifestyle, and individual needs. This allows me to tailor the treatment plan specifically to patients, ensuring it aligns with their goals and preferences. I'm committed to providing the highest standard of care and dedicated to offering the latest evidence-based treatments and therapies. My patients' well-being is my priority.

General Info
Personal Interests

Spending quality time with my children is the moment when I feel the strongest, both mentally and emotionally. Their boundless curiosity, energy, and zest for life are incredibly rejuvenating. This time away from the demands of the medical field allows me to recharge mentally and emotionally. It reminds me of the importance of work-life balance and self-care, which in turn makes me a better doctor. By nurturing my own well-being and maintaining a balanced perspective, I can provide more empathetic and effective care to my patients, as I understand the significance of holistic health and its impact on overall wellness.

Dr. Dakka is an excellent physician. He took the time to explain every step of my treatment as well as options. He answered every question honestly. He's caring and showed genuine concerns for my issues. I understand he will be leaving, and I will miss him. Also, Tamika, his nurse, is awesome! Very genuine and caring.
