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.

No longer compassionate care
Waited several months to write this review to make sure my experience with Dr. Ali was a pattern of behavior rather than a one off experience. It’s my experience that Dr. Ali is no longer a compassionate physician. I blame it on our healthcare system. No doubt she is overworked and covid did a number on healthcare workers. The last few visits she has had a bad attitude. As in, I told her the issues I’d like to discuss and she looked at her watch, made an annoyed sigh and proceeded to be short and dismissive thereafter. That dismissiveness and impatience has become a pattern. Additionally, the follow up care is a joke. Nothing is explained. You are just another number as her patient, which sadly merely makes her average with the provider strain and resulting lack of bedside manner that comes with it. I’ve noticed a change in her nurses as well. They are not kind like her pre-pandemic nurses were. Maybe they are traveling nurses and don’t expect to build relationships with patients.

I will dry be referring Dr. Ali to others.
I am a new patient under Dr. Ali and I am very pleased with having her as my primary care physician .She took quality time with me and covered all of my areas of concern. In fact she followed up after my mammogram and made sure that I received the instructions for an addition imagery that is needed. I will definitely be referring her to friends and family members and look forward to continuing to maintain a great patient doctor rapport.

Excellent caring physician
As always Dr. Ali was on time and asked detailed follow up questions. She showed that she had prepared for our meeting and took time to explain all results of testing. She took time to review my medications and make recommendations as to any changes that may be needed. She will be missed by your organization.

Very impersonal
Dr. Ali was short and dismissive of my concerns. This was our first appointment and when I tried to explain to her what was going on, she cut me off. She asked me why I was taking a particular medication then when I tried to explain why it was prescribed (it’s well documented) she was dismissive. She was supposed to refer me to a doctor but when I went to the nurses station she hadn’t included the referrals in my record. Instead she had a referral for a colonoscopy that’s not due for 5 years. A good patient/doctor relationship is important and unfortunately she made me feel dismissed and unheard. I won’t be back.
