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.

Caring Professional
Dr. Ali was able to treat me on very short notice and outside of normal hours. He was compassionate and listened intently to my issues. I would highly recommend Dr. Ali to both friends and family.

Kind and Compassionate
My 8 year old daughter had a gash on her forehead from a tennis accident. Dr. Ali used liquid stitches to close the wound. He told her every step of the process ahead of time so she was comfortable. The wound healed and we can barely see any scar. Dr. Ali is kind and compassionate!

In April, I saw Dr. Ali in the emergency department. He sat down and spend time listening to my complex medical history. We spoke longer than I had spoken to any ER doctor in the past. He took my concerns to heart, treated me with compassion. It was so nice to finally see a doctor who cared about what I was going through.

Great doctor
My daughter was having arm pain. She had an appointment with her primary doctor 6 weeks later. She called Dr. Ali and he saw her the next day. Diagnosed her with tennis elbow, and gave me some great tips. Now, she is back to work with no pain. He checked on her several times to make sure she was getting better.

Excellent Provider
Dr. Ali was extremely attentive during my ER visit and answered all of our questions. If me or my family ever visits the ER again, we hope Dr. Ali is our physician.

He should not be a Doctor, my son was struggling with COVID and asthma he didn’t even check his lungs, he said covid is neumonía and my so.n had neumonía didn’t prescribed meds. He said take him home. My son was prescribed antibiotics by then his oxygen was below 91 . He is recovering thanks to another compassionate Dr that took the time to check my son.
