I have anxiety issues and Dr Ali patiently explained everything to me so that I was completely relaxed for the surgery. The staff was so caring also. I highly recommend Atlanta ❤️

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.
