Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely amazing
Dr Ali is by far the most knowledgeable Doctor I’ve seen. From my first appointment he had a plan. I felt listened to and cared for. I had almost lost hope of ever being able to return to work but Dr Ali’s treatment has been nothing short of a miracle. The cervical neck pain is diminished enough to allow me to live my life again. I would highly recommend him.

So grateful
I am so impressed by Dr Ali and his team. I recently had a procedure done and I was so thankful for the way I was cared for. I had to travel far from my home to see him but it was so worth it. I feel confident in his abilities to take care of my issues and do it with such care and kindness.

He's just not very sensitive to the needs of the patient. And does not include you in your healthcare plan. I saw him as an inpatient and I never want to see him again. He left me in pain the entire time he took over my care. The hospitalist had a better pain plan than he did but having cancer I thought he'd be more understanding and more specialized as a pain specialist. My recommendation is do your homework about him before seeing him.
