Did not have a good visit. Dr. Ali was terse and rude. After seeing him since 2017, I still do not have a clear understanding / path of recovery.

He is a great doctor. He gives you the opportunity to explain what is going on and allows your input on procedures he orders. He is also a great listener.

One of the most personable people and character as a doctor. Very compassionate and concern on an individual level for his patients as myself. Offer diagnosis with suggests that’s more than helpful and most of all listens and hear your concerns and thoughts on regards to your health.
