Dr. Ali is excellent and his staff are wonderful to work with, but to be honest, I’m thinking of seeking another practice because of how awful the appointment confirmation pestering and haranguing is. Even when I do all the checking, payments and confirmations, I am still barraged with calls, texts and more constantly. It’s like I signed up for a debt collector with no debt. It’s so bad I find it makes me feel sick just each time the practice’s phone shows up on my caller ID. And the poor hapless employees seem hostage to this system and you can hear their embarrassment for being required to harass every customer over and over long after they’ve paid and confirmed every which way that they will be present for their appointments. It’s just such a horrible system that I don’t feel comfortable supporting it further.

I was scheduled to meet with Dr Ali but a substitute saw me instead without prior notification. So I rate Dr Ali as neutral.
