Pinnacle Internal Medicine

I needed a new PCM. My old Doctor is a family practice Doctor DO. I went to him for a recommendation from the emergency room doctor to follow up with my PCM. I did as the ER doctor said and went in to see my PCM. I told him what was the problem, one quick test, and he says I can’t justify anything and the test I am getting ready to have with a specialist shouldn’t be authorized. So he is done, won’t go back there. Problem though, I need a PCM. Looking to see what my insurance is contracted with and I find this place. I was able to fill out my new patient paperwork a few days before my appointment, saving time in the office. That was a plus for me. My first appointment went well. I felt Stacie spent more than enough time with me to make sure all my questions were answered. She was not judgemental like my old Doctor. She ordered a complete blood work at my first appointment. I saw her again for a follow up and a concern I had. All instances were just as the first. She isn’t in a rush to move on to the next patient. I am glad I found this office and I am thankful I found a medical office where the care about their patients.

Called to make an appointment and told the receptionist exactly what was happening. She said they can help me and I made the appointment. I got there at 1:10ish for a 1:20 appointment. They didn’t call me back until 2. Then when they finally did, the PA told me that they don’t do what I’m there for. I explained that I told the receptionist why I’m there and her response was «The girl you spoke to is new and she was kinda left a lot for a week to fend for herself»…really? I needed this test done and now I have to go somewhere for it. If you go here, make sure you are clear about what you need and maybe call back to make sure they do it. I gave up some much needed sleep for this appointment.

I have been coming to this clinic since I first moved to the Valley in 2009 and I intend to keep on using them for my healthcare needs. Dr. Ahmad is amazing! One of the best internal medicine physicians I’ve ever had. She treats me like a person, not just another patient and I truly appreciate that. Dr. Harter has been so helpful with my allergies and my routine healthcare. Chandra (spelling?) is great… always pleasant and helpful. They recently started offering dietitian and spa services. I’m so happy to see the practice growing! I hope they are around for a long time!

Afterafter seeing another local doc for years with massive headaches and being treated with tylenol, I went to see doctor ahmad at pinnacle, in 15 minutes she recognized something more serious was wrong, she had an appt for meThe next day at arizona neurological institute in sun city, 2 days later I had an mri which revealed a rather large tumor in my brain that turned out to be cancer, it was operable.
Dr ahmad saved my life. After my brain surgery, she called me at intervals in my hospital room to check on me, she really cares about her patients, her staff is great too, they keep updated on my case and progress. Doc tells me im one of thier success stories and gives me hugs whenever she sees me.
Her partner, dr harter is great too… I needed to be seen recently, doc ahmad was out of the office, doc harter had me come right in to see her.

Dr’s Harter and Ahmad are great, and their staff is terrific! They go above and beyond to give the best care possible!
