Dr.Daniels is very professional. She has been treating me and answering all my doubts. She explains everything in a very detailed way. the receptionist are nice. Always feel welcome in this place. All the personal are very welcoming.
PA Ms. Berlin was very professional. Attentive to my health concerns and I was pleased with the current plan she suggested.
Many Thanks to North Georgia Endocrinology. I lost 25 pounds, my A1 C looks like non-diabetic. I fell better in my mind, and my diabetes symptoms such as fatigue belong to the past. These people will find the right prescription for you.
Lastly, I can exercise right now because before I was too big to do so, and I’m back to be a fashionista 😉

Dr Alexander is Amazing !! Best Dr I have been too and she has got me under control with all my problems…
I have been going to Dr. Amahed for several years. She is extremely knowledgeable, smart with her approach and has been instrumental in helping me to maintain my levels. I just recently visited the new office and It’s extremely comfortable and welcoming. Great location!
Since August 2024 I have been treating a hyperthyroidism condition, the service is excellent, very friendly and I have had very good results, Dr. Amy is very attentive in each consultation, answering questions and I have improved a lot.
My experience with North Georgia Endocrinology has been excellent. The environment is well designed, pleasant, clean and relaxing. The front office staff is professional, very responsive , and efficient. The medical staff and doctor's are detail-oriented, attentive, and efficient but not rushed. They take the time to listen and always make me feel at ease. I highly recommend North Georgia Endocrinology.
Across the board the environment, the reception/office support, the medical staff is top notch! You know quickly you are in good hands.
I’ve been coming to this practice for several years and have felt heard and my needs have always been addressed whether by Dr Anbar to all the staff.
I saw NP Amy Labib for the first time and had a wonderful experience. She was very attentive to all my needs and questions about my new diabetes diagnosis. She is very knowledgeable about the disease and I feel that I’m in good hands going forward.

New Patient appointment - this is an impressive organization. Quickly and professionally handled at the front desk. Endocrinology and insulin pump appointment was thorough, thoughtful, helpful. Bloodwork was taken onsite, quick and well done.
Extremely pleasant and supportive staff. My NP Morgan is amazing to work with and was very personable. I left the office feeling considered and informed.
It’s so very important to have a team of caring professionals who are passionate about helping people. I have experienced that with the staff as well as the NP Amy L! Thank you for being you. I know I am in great hands.
The doctor went over all specific details of my past medical history all the medicines I’m taking and what the next protocol will be. I feel like she cares and she wants to see the patients succeed. I’ve heard excellent things about her from other friends that she’s an amazing doctor and she sees you through.
Amy has wonderful bead side manner. She’s thorough with diagnosis and treatment plan.
The very few times I’ve been here, it felt as if I was wasting their time. Alexandra Daniels explained the textbook version of Hashimoto’s and hyperthyroidism, but no recommendations. It was very confusing when I was being told different things. I didn’t know whether I had hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism or if it was because of my pregnancy. Blood work was done only because I asked. I was always told to do a follow ups, but I was mainly asked questions and was barely checked during these follow ups. I was a self pay patient, and they made sure I paid upfront before going to the back. Fast forward to this year, I get a surprise bill in the mail. I’m more than certain I’ve paid everything forward, so I’m not sure why I’m receiving a bill.
Everything from my ultrasounds was explained well to me. And follow up was good, too. The staff was very friendly.
This was my first visit to this facility and I am blessed to have found them. NP Morgan and her team were very thorough and answered all of my questions and concerns. She gave advice on better health. I did not feel rushed like normal doctor offices.
Amy Labib is awesome. She takes her time with you and is always open to any questions you may have. She is very thorough - which is much appreciated. Easy to get a timely appointment! All around a great practice and a terrific NP!
My visit with Amy Labib was wonderful. She is a very knowledgeable young lady that was eager to help me. I've been dealing with low blood sugar over a year now without receiving much help from doctors I've been in contact with. I'm so glad Amy is willing to do her best to give me the care I need.
Amy Labib is a great Endo nurse. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring provider. The team is very nice and helpful as well. They take you seriously in this clinic, which is not so common these days.
Amy is amazing. She changed my life. My body and hormones are dialed. I feel amazing. The office is super professional and everyone is pleasant.
Amy is a doctor who listens! she is awesome. does whats right for her patients!
Carolyn is amazing, but saw Morgan and she just brushed me off and seems irritated that I am even there. And the front desk staff has been horrible to work with for billing.
Sad news is Carolyn has moved and she is what was keeping me there and only reason I had to see Morgan. I wanted to give Morgan a try, but as noted above, I was treated like I was a bother to her and same with the nurse before her.
I don’t recommend with Carolyn moved on.

It was a great experience from the front office and meeting Dr. Labib. She is very thorough and I felt understood during the consultation.
Amy Labib, N.P. is thorough, has a good bedside manner, and efficient in assisting me with reaching my health goals. I highly recommend her.
The office is very efficiently operated and the associates are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are concerned about the patient’s health needs. I highly recommend North Georgia Endocrinology.
Dr. Anbar Ahmed and her team of experts (I meet Dr. Amy Labib at Johns Creek location) will take care of all your endocrine health issues with great attention. With personal experience, I highly reccomended this clinic if you're looking for dependable healthcare. The entire staff is courteous and efficient.
The Doctor was GREAT. Very Thorough. The staff was awesome. Wow. Great Knowledge and attention to details. I was very Impressed and look fwd to getting back healthy and living my best Life. I will tell my friends wnd team mate about this Doctor She was great.
The friendliness & professionalism reassured me that I was in the right place.
I cannot say enough good things about this endocrinology office! Since my diabetes diagnosis in August 2024, I have felt supported by my practitioner and the team. From the very beginning, they put thoughtful care plans in place to help me manage my diabetes and improve my overall health. What once felt like an overwhelming disease is now much less scary, thanks to their guidance, patience, and expertise.
The staff is kind, professional, and always willing to answer my questions. Every visit has been a positive experience, and I’ve never encountered any issues with the office. I truly appreciate the level of care and attention I’ve received here. If you’re looking for an endocrinology team that is knowledgeable and dedicated to your well-being, I highly recommend this practice!

Dr. Daniel was awesome. She listened and I felt heard. She explained the reason for testing she ordered and patiently answered all my questions.
The staff is amazing and loved the Dr’s. I was searching for a new Dr and I am so thankful to find one .
The best and most caring practice. Dr. Ahmad and her staff are intelligent, motivated to find answers , and she takes time to listen with intention. She has a very calm dimeanor and it is hard to find Doctors that take her approach. You feel safe in her care.
All the staff was very friendly, from the receptionist, the person who received me to take my signs and the Doctor, I was looking for some reference in Spanish when I attended and I couldn't find it, I thought they couldn't translate for me so they accompanied me to translate for me, we asked if there was a translator for the following appointments that I would go alone and they told me yes. Although it would be a little longer, but it doesn't matter, I felt very good, thank you very much.
Check in was easy and fast. Nurse was super nice and very knowledgeable. The doctor, i don’t have enough good things to say about her. She’s super knowledgeable, extremely nice and very efficient.
I do not recommend this place if you have PCOS… they will not find the root cause of your PCOS they will just continuously order multiple labs and leave you in the dark for your symptoms. I have felt so hopeless about my condition because of the PAs/NPs here. They use the excuse of PCOS not being researched enough or stress that our labs are normal when we don’t FEEL normal with fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, acne etc… If you have PCOS like me your only hope is to do research about it and educate yourself which is what helped me lose weight. This place is good for other issues like diabetes, adrenal or pituitary issues, and thyroid concerns but I really don’t recommend for PCOS. I tried my hardest to be patient with results and see if they have any treatments or solutions for me but I never left this place with some helpful information about the condition I have. I didn’t even want to leave this review but I want to let others who have polycystic ovarian syndrome to not waste your time here.
Amazing!! The previous reviews are not exaggerating. The staff is amazing and the doctor listens to you and takes the time with you. No matter where I live, I will drive/fly/row/swim to Dr Ahmad. They rock!!
The office was efficient
NP was very thorough and helpful in clarifying health issues relative to my situation.

Dr. Ahmad is absolutely the most caring physician I have had the pleasure of working with regards to my personal health. Her spacious and modern office has 2 waiting areas so patients are not in close proximity of each other. Dr. Ahmad is always prompt to start her consultation and gives the patient plenty of time to ask question and for her to respond to the questions or concerns. She is efficient, friendly and professional. She cares about the complete physical and mental care of her patients. I give her an A+ rating!
I find the office to be very professional, kind and thorough. I feel as though I am in good hands.
Excellent customer service from the front desk. My appointment was on time. The nurse assistant was very friendly a Thorough regarding my concerns. PA-C Alexandra Daniel was fantastic she listened to my concerns and give me good feedback. Thank you again for Excellent Customer Service.
First of all had to fight to get the blood work I wanted done. I always have to keep calling back nobody calls and tells you anything. They said they would give me a referral and they said they would email it that day and they didn't. I had a call back and ask for the referral the next day. If you're going to say you're gonna do something, it needs to be done. . I'm a lift driver and I don't have a lot of time and I can't keep coming back to 100 appointments. I have to come back in about a month actually two months because I'm going on vacation and I'm not going to come back until later March. And whoever took the notes last time, kept telling everybody that I was on Mojarro, which I wasn't so whoever is taking the notes are not really doing a great job
The staff is always amazing. NP Carolyn Lawson is none replaceable. Dr. Ahmad is the best; sorry I wasn't able to follow her when she went concierge.
Amazing doctor and staff! Great place & attendance. They are very patient and understanding. If you are looking for an endocrinologist this is the place. Definitely recommend 👍
Dr Labid is one of those doctors were born to deal with patients she welcomes you with a positive attitude that it rubs on you, she’s very understanding, and takes her time to walk her patients through their meds and health, I highly recommend her. Front desk staff is very professional, and amicable.
Experience at North GA Endocrinology was good and I have been going to Dr Anbar for a while now. But nowadays I have to see her NP or RNA as this place have started a special concierge service and only if we subscribe to it we meet Dr Anbar. But as the very expensive annual concierge fee is not covered by my insurance I am forced to meet her NPs who I assume are directly conferring her on our continuation of our meds. This I feel is the only downside of this group.
The staff was very courteous and helpful. Because of unexpected weather they had to pivot to rearrange their patients and they did so with thoughtful care. This is my first visit and I am looking forward to a long term relationship that will allow us to work together for a better personal health outcome.
From the front desk staff to my doctor visit everyone is kind and make everything so easy. Great doctors office.
No waiting time. Polite and attentive stuff
The PA and the front desk did no give any information about where to take the Ultrasound prescribed by the PA.

I like the new NP (Eileen Borkovich)I saw she was a lot more informative and seemed more concerned and caring

I see Amy Labib, nurse practitioner at North Georgia Endocrinology. She is very knowledgeable, has good bedside manners, and very responsive.
I love the staff at North Georgia Endocrinology. Carolyn was very thorough. The staff that checked me in was very sweet and helpful. I highly recommend them.
I have been a patient of Dr. Ahmad for a little over a year now. I saw her NP, Carolyn Lawson when Dr. Ahmad was on maternity leave. These women are amazing!! It doesn’t get any better!! These ladies truly care about their patients. I use to go to another endocrinologist but the Doctor wasn’t as knowledgeable, open minded or cared to listen. I never felt like I was never getting the attention that I get here. I have been dealing with menopause, as well as my Hashimoto’s. Dr. Ahmad has helped me so much. Dr. Ahmad is open minded. She listens to her patients and she really cares. She has made time to call me. Notes are taken at each appt. and then posted onto the portal, so you don’t forget anything. My messages are always answered back immediately when I leave a message on the portal. Dr. Ahmad and Carolyn Lawson are brilliant. I would recommend them to my family & friends. I’m so lucky that I found Dr. Ahmad and Carolyn Lawson.
made an appointment quickly with Eileen borkovich.. she quickly assessed my (adrenal) issue and texted the surgeon right in front of me! he quickly responded and the wheels are in motion for getting surgery soon. very happy!
I am always satisfied when I come see you, Carolyn! The office staff is always friendly. Everything is always on point have been gone there for three years now and I have finally got my A1c in check. Thanks Carolyn, Lawson, and staff.
I always have a great experience at North Georgia Endocrinology! I see Amy Labib snd she's so sweet sbd takes time to answer all my questions! Her staff is amazing too! I never feel rushed and any time I send a message via their patient portal, they are quick to reply. Very happy with their practice!
My daughter is the patient, and she is very happy with the office and the team.
The providers and staff are always amazing and friendly . Communication is easy, and the patient portal never goes unanswered . The new office is vey comfortable and flows well. Even getting bloodwork done is a breeze . Highly recommended
Amy was very thorough, she’d read my chart before coming, and answered all my questions.
I really like the care I'm receiving from Dr. Alex. She listens and makes sure all my questions are answered. Thank you Dr. Alex. I appreciate you
Very efficient office, in and out promptly, was very helpful in setting up my additional Healow account!
I have been seeing Dr Ahmad for many years. Literally, the best dr I have had. She’s very honest and thoughtful.
Conducted my recent session with Carolyn Lawson. She is incredibly knowledgeable, listens very carefully and also has very good recommendations. I have been a patient of North Georgia Endocrinology for years now. Very satisfied with the level of patient attention and care they provide to their patients.
Best endocrinologist I've seen! Responds very fast and super easy to work with. Can't recommend them enough!
Carolyn Lawson, NP has done a wonderful job taking care of my thyroid among other things. The entire office is friendly and welcoming.
It’s a blessing to have great doctors and great staff. They listen, work with you and they care. I appreciate each and everyone of them. I highly recommend them. They are outstanding! I’m glad and fortunate to be under their care. Thank you to them all.
Highly recommend North GA Endocrinology. Never a long weight and Caroline Lawson treats me with respect by taking time to answer all my questions and help resolve any issues. My Type 2 diabetes has been under control for a few years now!
I have been going for a year now & I would highly recommend North Georgia Endocrinology to anyone in the Alpharetta area. I have seen both Dr. Ahmad & NP Amy Labib. They are both very compassionate, thorough and actually listens to your concerns.
Eileen was very kind snd listened and helped me with my concerns. Thank you!
I have been working with North Georgia Endocrinology for over a year now, and I am eternally grateful for them. They were the ones to diagnose my Hashimoto’s Disease and get me started on medication to kick my thyroid back in motion. I truly do not believe I would still be here without this business.
Carolyn Lawson, NP is very conscientious provider whom gives exceptional care to me. She demonstrates unwavering dedication with every interaction we've had. I have so much gratitude and appreciation for the remarkable care that she has provided me with!

Dr. Lawson is everything you'd want in a doctor when you don't understand your diagnosis. She answered all of the questions I had and made me feel like she cared and that I was in good hands and NOTHING beats that! I feel blessed knowing she is going to see me through this.
The location is further away but my NP relocated there, after the current location closed. It's a longer drive but totally worth it. They have a great staff too 🤗
I am so beyond thankful to have found this practice!!!! Both Dr. Ahmad and NP Carolyn have been so welcoming and informative for me! They take their time make sure to explain everything going on and listen… I mean actually listen to what is going on with my body and symptoms!!! I live almost 2 hours away and will Gladly drive every time I need to just to see these amazing physicians (even though they have been gracious enough to let me do telehealth to help ❤️) I highly highly recommend you to go see these amazing ladies!!! I am on the road to get feeling better and have actual help to get me where I need to be!
North Georgia Endocrinology is a 5 out of 5 star practice. From Dr. Ahmad to the P.A.s, nurses, assistants and the front desk staff, you will find everyone to be knowledgeable, courteous, friendly, to go out of their way to be helpful, and to be respectful of your time. If you are seeking an Endocrinologist, this is the practice you need! You will be writing a review just like this one, soon! There is a reason she is so highly rated. She's brilliant, kind, compassionate and the entire practice is a reflection of those values. I'm so grateful to have found this doctor!
The provider showed care and concern for my medical condition.
She listen carefully to me about my medical condition . She provided me with information to help me to stay on top of my glucose level.

Hey I have gone to the Publix pharmacy 3 times. They say they never received a prescription for the alternate (insulin) I apologize for not knowing the brand name. I paid a $10 administrative fee to your office to help expedite the prescription.
Can you please call them with the prescription? Thanks

I have found this practice to be a great place. Great staff and our PA, Carolyn Lawson has been great to work with.
This is a great practice! I love Dr. Ahmad and I love Carolyn. They take time to listen and are genuinely concerned about their patients. The staff is always so friendly and gracious. The fact that the bloodwork is right in the office is so easy! Highly recommend!
Always so professional, responsive and understanding. I’ve been going here for years.
I love virtual visits. They are so convent and the PAs are so through and know what they are doing.
As an RN and a patient, I can say this is one of the best endocrinology practices I've used. All of the NPs are exceptional. I sent my adult Type I DM son to them and FINALLY, he is getting the care he needs! They know how to navigate the insurance company barriers and the care they offer is the most innovative. They moved offices and are a little far for us but we will drive the extra mileage for such great care.
Dr Anbar Ahmed and Carolyn are not just providers they know what they are doing.Very compassionate the whole staff not just the providers.They are GOD to me for saving my husbands life.And still they are on it.Great example of humanity!!I wish there were 10 or 100 stars i would give them that as well.
Staff were very friendly and responsive to questions. I have never experienced long wait times and have always been treated with respect. Medical diagnosis and counseling are articulated with care and patience which insures confidence and trust.
Staff always friendly and professional. I especially love that I get to see Amy at my scheduled time and there is no sitting around the waiting room.
Love the new office! They are on point with time!! Front desk stuff is so sweet & welcoming! Phlebotomist is great and makes sure to really take care of you, and my new provider, Eileen Borkovich is the bomb!!! 😎 She doesn’t make you wait long, addresses all issues in depth, but efficiently and really listens to you; Very pleasant and has a great energy! Thank you 🙏 for a smooth visit!
Doctor Ahmad is an excellent doctor and I was her patient for several years. Recently she started to charge extra to be on her patient list.I guess a lot of doctors do that.This is like a membership and It’s expensive! I can’t afford that so I went to one of her assistant PA . It’s not the same! They are all kind but they are not Doctors. They didn’t go through the same curriculum or years and years of schools like doctors do. Office charges me and my insurance like I saw a doctor but I didn’t . I don’t think this is ok.
Dr. Ahmed is a brilliant doctor. She listens and takes time to explain everything. She is by far my favorite doctor! Highly recommend!
This place changed my life. I spent years without a diagnosis — struggling to lose weight, dealing with joint pain, brain fog, fatigue, etc. Though I knew something was wrong, most doctors refused to listen to me. Dr. Ahmad literally changed my life. When I first met her, she diagnosed my condition right away and prescribed the medicine I needed. I have since lost over 100 pounds, and I now know exactly what my hormonal issue was.
She is also a wonderful, kind, caring, and understanding doctor. As someone with metabolic issues, it’s easy to be hard on myself, but she reminds me that I’m doing the best I can, and that I have made wonderful progress. If you need help and are looking for answers and encouragement, please reach out to North Georgia Endocrinology. It was the best decision I ever made!

Dr Ahmad, is incredibly caring and methodical, she listens, and strategizes quickly the best treatment plan, to improve you health and everyday life!!, She is simply amazing!!! The staff is as detailed , caring and responsive, easily one of the best Healthcare experience I have ever had!!
Short of it: please do not go to this practice if you have pcos
Edit: Dr. Ahmad contacted me to rectify my experience with Carolyn and did a fantastic job of correcting the issues I faced in the below review.
Long of it:
I went to this practice about 18 months ago. I was scheduled with Carolyn the PA. I went in with the symptoms of migraines, joint pain, increase in weight gain with no lifestyle changes, fatigue and a few other concerns. The office was beautiful and the front office staff and billing staff were very polite and easy to deal with. Upon discussing my concerns with Carolyn I became emotional (not realizing how worried about my health I had become, this was a surprise to me). She did not offer a tissue or a word of sympathy or encouragement but just sat in silence. Ok, that’s fine. Even the best Drs don’t always have good bed side manner so I dried my tears and moved on. The appointment was very brief and she was hyper focused on my sudden weight gain. I was not concerned bc she ordered a full battery of blood work so I felt confident we would find the root issue of all my symptoms. She did however assure me that she did not think of was pcos. When she walked me out I got my second red flag (the first was her lack of bedside manner), she promptly handed me two pamphlets about injection weight loss meds. I am totally for weight loss meds if that’s a patients choice, however we had no idea what the cause of any of my symptoms were AND I did not meet a single criteria for the weight loss meds as stated ON THE DRUG COMPANIES WEBSITE. Please understand how dangerous that can be. If a drug company is not saying I am a good candidate for a drug then why would a PA suggest it BEFORE labs we even back?? I was very confused but just left the pamphlets in the waiting room and moved on. Shortly after getting my labs back Carolyn messaged me on the patient portal saying I did have borderline PCOS results. I asked what the treatment plan would be for the going forward, expecting something…anything really, to aid all my symptoms. She told me to count calories and do intermittent fasting. Again the focus on my weight gain and ignoring all other symptoms. I had tried both in the previous year but decided that she was the professional so I would give it another try. I followed her advice to a T. I saw zero results in my symptoms including the one she was so focused on, my weight. I lost 2 pounds over 3 months, I was exhausted from not eating for most of the day (she recommended eating from 12-6pm) and irritable. All of my symptoms got worse. After having lunch with a friend in May of 23 she mentioned a mutual friend had started taking Ovasitol for her pcos and was feeling better. I decided to give it a shot since it was SO much cheaper than a follow up appointment (which honestly I was discouraged to make anyway given that most of my symptoms were ignored). Within 3 months I saw huge improvements in my fatigue, joint pain, swelling, AND my anxiety which I hadn’t even realized had increased and almost completely went away. I decided to start doing my own pcos research. I have read scholarly, peer reviewed articles and listened to talks given by other endocrinologist and I can say with complete confidence that this office dropped the ball with me. I have learned that pcos causes weight gain through insulin resistance (which was not explained to me and is still not even mentioned on the office website under their pcos blurb) and that it absolutely can be treated if approached as such. I added in fiber before meals, broke my cardio up into 10-15 minutes after each meal instead of 30-45 mins a day in one session. Meals, exercise, stressors, have all remained the same over the last year. I started in May of 24 and I am myself again. And guess what, I lost 16lbs. Please if you have PCOS find a better provider and believe yourself over anyone.

North GA Endo is a fantastic endocrinology clinic. The office is extremely clean, and the staff are very kind and polite. The PA's are just as knowledgeable as Dr Ahmad and train under her, so you can be assured you're getting top notch advice and care. They also know of and use other pharmaceuticals / products that I haven't seen at other doctors offices. For example, I learned of an FDA approved Testosterone injectable that is better than what I was taking before. They're super thorough and do not rush my appointments.
I love Dr Ahmad! She takes her time and is very thorough in her assessment and management. The staff were all kind and helpful and the new office is beautiful.
Dr. Ahmad is an excellent physician. Extremely knowledgeable and a thorough communicator.
Dr Ahmad is an amazing Dr, she's so kind and caring too. She explains things in clear detail and I never feel rushed. The new location is nicer and bigger than the old office and while it's a further drive for me, Dr Ahmad is worth the drive.
This practice is the very best!! They actually listen to you and have a sincere desire to help you. So happy I found this practice, it’s been life changing. Highly recommend for women going through menopause and related issues!
"Today's visit was exceptional, just like every other time I've been here. I have immense love for Dr. Ahmad and her staff. Everyone was incredibly nice and friendly, making me feel warmly welcomed. A big thank you to the entire team for treating me with such personal care and respect, making me feel valued as a person, not just another number. Your kindness and professionalism do not go unnoticed. Highly recommended!"
I do not think I would be holding my little baby girl if it weren’t for Dr Ahmad and her team, including Amy. After the nightmare of recurrent miscarriage I discovered I had subclinical hypothyroidism. My primary dr was dismissive about this, but Dr. Ahmad saw the clinical significance. With my TSH controlled to the “ideal range” I got a positive test 7 months after my last MC and had a healthy pregnancy. I wasn’t the easiest patient to deal with and appreciate their patience along the way. There is alot of information on the web about how to best treat this, and along the way I got a 2nd opinion from a functional medicine dr who recommended a completely different plan of care. After careful consideration I continued working with this office and I am so glad I did. I will eternally be grateful to Dr Ahmad for helping me bring my little girl earthside. If you are looking for an office that will closely follow you during pregnancy I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Always an excellent experience. All staff are kind and make you feel very welcome. Dr Ahmad has a rare approach that is equally understanding, validating, and professional. She wants you to understand what’s going on with your health and provides helpful feedback and education at each appointment. I never feel rushed or dismissed as I have with other doctors. I drive an hour to this practice and it’s worth the time. Definitely recommend!
Every time I come to see Dr. Ahmad for an appointment I am, without exception, treated with the utmost courtesy and friendliness by everyone with whom I come in contact! Just the fact that there is a patient survey process demonstrates a genuine desire by the practice to give their patients the best possible experience. I am very fortunate to have Dr. Ahmad as one of my health practitioners.
I was grateful for the quality of care that I received at this office.
I felt informed, reassured & my anxiety was at 0% by the time I left the office!
All my questions were answered clearly & concisely!
Timely Follow up with timely Lab results are outstanding!
Thanks Amy

Loved Dr Ahmad and her team, especially Amy. I was afraid about starting with a new Endocrinologyst in a new country but she exceeded my expectations
Dec 2023: I highly recommend Dr Ahmad. She is outstanding. Honest, Helpful, Efficient. I 100% trust her with me and my family. She has made a great impact upon my health.
Sept 2023: This continues to be a great office with great service and individualized care. My whole family now sees Dr. Ahmad and she has had a positive impact on our health. Today, I saw NP Amy. Efficient without rushing. I highly recommend this office to anyone needing skilled endocrinology!

Love coming here and completely trust everyone who I’ve had so far, natural and beautiful results. They are all very professional and experienced. They all have a keen eye for detail and always do a fantastic job listening to me to achieve the results I'm looking for. I have come here a couple of times and will continue to be a loyal customer. They do an excellent job with natural results on lip filler as well as cheek filler. Here is a picture a week after my last visit.
I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Dr. Ahmad and the entire team at North Georgia Endocrinology. From the moment I walked in, their professionalism and genuine care were evident. Dr. Ahmad’s thoroughness in addressing my concerns and explaining my treatment plan left me feeling confident and well-informed. Dr. Ahmad has provided me with invaluable guidance and support on my weight loss journey. The practice’s efficiency and friendly atmosphere make each visit a positive one. I’m grateful to have found such a dedicated endocrinologist and would recommend Dr. Ahmad and this practice without hesitation.
I’m going to make this short and sweet. I’ve been to endocrinologists all over the Lawrenceville and surrounding cities and none of them compare to this office. This is the only office that consistently make changes in what I need to get my A1C down. When I first went there I was at a 14 and got as low as a 9 so far. I live about an hour away but I gladly travel that way because I know I end up in the hands of Doctors who care about my life. Extra bonus, the staff is SUPER awesome as well. From front door to the back door!
If I could give this practice more than 5 stars- I would! Dr. Ahmad is wonderful- extremely thorough and compassionate which is hard to find these days. She spends time with you as if you’re her only patient. I am very grateful for the care her and her team have given me. I highly recommend her to anyone!!
Dr. Ahmad has changed my life. I went to see her a little over a year ago. I had always felt sick and yucky, had put on 37 pounds, but could never pinpoint exactly how I felt. Dr. Ahmad did a lot of tests, always pays particular attention to everything you say, and comes up with a solution immediately. Fast forward to the present, and I have lost all 37 lbs, am no longer pre-diabetic and haven't felt this good in forever. I am forever grateful to Dr. Anbar for giving me my life back.
Dr Ahmad is the best! Truly attentive to my situation, always has a clear plan for my needs, extremely professional!
The clinic is beautiful, staff is amazing! Highly recommended!
The clinic is beautiful, staff is amazing! Highly recommended!
Dr Anbar is a very good and kind Doctor. She is so encouraging and appreciative which motivates me to get better when it comes to managing my diabetes and overall health in a very short time. She is compassionate, super kind and listens. I will recommend her to anyone who is wanting to be healthy and manage your health in any stress. The staff are also super friendly. Thankyou Dr Anbar for always being so patient and moving me in the right positive direction and nothing can be wrong at this practice.
My wife has been seeing Dr. Ahmad and our experience has been wonderful. She diagnosed my wife with a unique version of an endocrine disease that was missed by our primary care physician. Dr. Ahmad was thorough in her examination and workup of my wife's symptoms. After further diagnosing my wife's condition, she explained the condition and the short, intermediate, and long term prognosis of the condition and how it would affect our life going forward. She was gentle and compassionate in her delivery of medical information. Since the diagnosis, she has monitored my wife very closely with appropriate follow ups (in person visits and virtual visits when her schedule is full). If you are willing to participate in your own healthcare and are looking for a highly trained healthcare provider to treat your endocrine disease, Dr. Ahmad is the doctor you need to see. We drive 1 hour to see her due to the level of care she provides and we highly recommend her and her team.
I have been seeing Dr. Ahmad for several years after going through a couple other Endo’s that were not up to par, if you know what I mean. Dr. Ahmad is not only a great doctor but she truly cares! She’s compassionate, super kind and listens to her patients. I have referred her to several friends/family members because I absolutely believe in her that much. She is one of those doctors that you’d drive hours to see if you needed to. The PA is super awesome too. You really can’t go wrong with this practice!
I've been seing Dr. Ahmad for the past 3 and a half years on a very regular basis. My condition has hugely improved with her attention and expertise. Not very talkative, more a reserved professional, but efficient and straight to the point. Staff is good and the premises are still nice and perfurmed. I can't recommend Dr. Ahmad enough.
Everyone at this practice is professional courteous, and excellent at their role.
Dr Ahmad has guided me through a major life change with a weightloss of 90 pounds. (over 30% of my body weight )
She is patient, listens, advises and works with you to diagnose your issue and get you healthy.
Also a shout out to the Phlebotomist who is the best at what she does. I never feel the needle going in and she always finds the vein on the first attempt. That says a lot with my hidden veins.
I highly recommend this Dr Ahmad and everyone at this practice!

After having thyroid removal surgery, I needed to follow up with an endocrinologist to monitor my hormone levels and to get the proper thyroid hormone supplements prescribed. I could not get a timely appointment with the MD in the office, but was given a quick appointment with Carolyn Lawson, a nurse practitioner. Ms Lawson was extremely knowledgeable about my condition and was very professional, and could easily pass as an MD if someone didn't know she was a nurse practitioner. Highly recommended.
I recently visited this office and had the pleasure of meeting three staff members: Ben, Trinity and Carolyn.
I was impressed by their professionalism and kindness throughout my visit.
Ben was particularly compassionate and made me feel at ease.
Trinity was very energetic and went above and beyond to assist me with any questions I had.
Carolyn was an excellent listener and addressed all my concerns. She also suggested some helpful solutions that have improved my condition.
Overall, my experience at the Endo office was exceptional, thanks to these three amazing individuals.
I highly recommend this office to anyone in need of endocrine care.

Dr. Ahmad is the best doctor I have ever worked with. She has truly listened to me. She has not talked at me but talked to me to work with my concerns and help me make improvements to my health that have had a positive impact on my entire life. I never feel rushed and she is always encouraging. I have been looking for someone like her for 20 years. She is caring, compassionate, and a true advocate for me. I cannot say enough good things about her. I am truly thankful for Dr. Ahmad and refer her to others who are struggling and looking for someone to work with them to control and manage their health.
Dr. Ahmad has been extremely helpful for me over the last few months. She’s helping to get me on a path of feeling better and improving my quality of life. She’s so understanding of what I’m going through as well. It’s beyond refreshing to feel like you’re being heard by a healthcare provider. Very glad I found her! Also the entire staff is amazing and so friendly.
Dr. Ahmad is amazing with excellent patient care instincts. She diagnosed my serious illness which was missed by other physicians for years. She is extremely skilled and cares about the well being of her patients. So glad I found her. Her staff members are always pleasant and helpful.
I am extremely happy with my visit to Dr Ahmad’s office. She was very professional, caring and knowledgeable. I felt listened to and did not feel rushed. She is the best doctor I have seen in a very long time. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Ahmad. I have seen several doctors in the past few years, and she was one of the few who genuinely cared. She is easy to relate to and very knowledgeable. Her team is also polite and the office is very clean.
Carolyn Lawson has been so great. I have been with her since my left thyroid has been removed. She’s very compassionate and listen to your concerns. She’s very prompt when you sent her a message and follow up if needed. The person who called me on 10/20 to check me in virtually was phenomenal, I didn’t get his name. He was very tentative, polite and helpful
Dr Ahmad is the best! She is so sweet & caring. She makes me want to do better the way she explains things. I am so happy to have her as a doctor. I will tell everyone to go to her & her staff is always so nice & helpful. I am very satisfied with this place
