Ahmad Shatil Amin MD

Incredible doctor. So caring and very clearly explains condition, causes and treatment plan. Dr. Amin is clearly in the health care field for the right reasons… he is an example of how all physicians should treat their patients!

Hands down my favorite dermatologist! I have suffered with terrible acne for years so I am no stranger to dermo visits, However, my experience with Dr. Amin and his nurse Irine has been EXCELLENT! Very convenient scheduling and short wait times. He is a professional, caring, and all around incredible person. Keep up the great work, doc!

Echo all previous reviews. Great doctor and a good guy.

I had a rash that was diagnosed as «delayed sun poisoning» following a hiking trip to Utah. The urgent care Physician’s Assistant made this diagnosis following a Google Image search, so confidence was low. He put me on antihistamines and prednisone. Two weeks later, the rash was back and spread to my face. I called a new Derm I had recently seen and was told that I could get in in six weeks, even after speaking to multiple people in her office and explaining my problem (I was told to go to the emergency room). I requested she call me, and that never happened.
My GP looked at me and said it looked complicated and recommended Dr. Amin. I called his office and spoke with his nurse, who put me on hold and said if I could be there in 20 minutes, he would see me right away but he was heading out on vacation. I was there in ten and he saw me immediately. He also was incredibly patient – you’d never had guessed he needed to leave, and he talked me through other possible diagnoses. He put me on an RX which did clear up the rash.
I had to see Dr. Amin again as my issues continued (skin allergy), and following he called me multiple times to see how I was doing and he gave me his cell number. He is one of the best doctors, from bedside manner to accuracy in diagnosis. Highly recommend!

I went to see Dr Amin during the worst dermatological nightmare of my life, and the man completely saved me. I can’t recommend him enough.
I had the worst rash of my life– all over, itching keeping me up ALL night, misery. I’m also 7 months pregnant and was shying away from medicine. I put off going to a derm because in my experience, derms don’t really learn what you have, they just shoot you up with steroids and send you on your way. But it was an emergency, so I got an urgent last minute appointment with Dr. Amin– I didn’t know anything about him other than that he was at Northwestern and he was available. I was nervous.
Anyway, at my appointment he pored over my rash with the most academic studiousness. Something I liked about him was he went to get another doctor for a 2^nd opinion– I so respect a doctor who cares more about making the correct diagnosis than their ego!
Dr. Amin ended up figuring out the ROOT of the problem– not just treating the symptoms. I also liked that he insisted on a very conservative precautionary treatment– he wanted to make 100% sure we fixed this so I took the treatment twice. He also had me come in for follow-​up to make sure I was healing. I was so impressed by his manner, his intellectual approach to my condition, and the way he took care of the root of the problem. Most derms don’t do that!
Thanks so much Dr. Amin!

Dr. Amin is as professional and personable as any patient would want and his schedule was extremely accomodating. I recently visited Dr. Amin for an unknown skin irritation. He examined it thoroughly and offered reasurance that it was nothing of serious concern. After further inspection and discussion, he diagnosed it and prescribed the appropriate medications and actions for me to take. Prior to my departure, Dr. Amin took the time to ensure I was comfortable during my visit and confident in him. That was quite pleasant, since I believe most doctors simply see you and rush you out to get to their next patient.
If you’re a new patient looking for a dermatologist, I am HIGHLY recommending Dr. Amin.

Dr Amin is excellent and I highly recommend him. He is understanding, knowledgeable and engaging. Dr. Amin makes you feel like a true patient and not a just another chart. Just a small example here… I tend to feel that when Doctors ask me to email or call them if I have any issues after the appointment that it’s just a throw away gesture. But when I emailed Dr. Amin (on more than one occasion) his response was thorough and fast.
