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.

If you see Dr Ali, you will probably wait a while, but that is because he doesn't cut off his patients if they need to talk. In 2009, I called with a health issue and by the end of the day he had got me into the nearest CT scanner that had a spot for me, and I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Thanks to his referrals, I had the best surgeon and the best follow up care available in Peoria. I would not see any other doctor.

I was/am so helped by Dr. Syed..I came in in a REALLY dark place and feeling hopeless. I had a hard time in the beginning trusting him but continued to follow his advice and wishin weeks was feeling more like myself and less anxious/depressed. I still have a lot to work through but now am feeling like I can actually try to tackle some of the overwhelming thing before . I definitely recommend Dr. Syed. Depression/anxiety is a horrible thing but the right medication can be extremely helpful!

I waited for about an hour for the doctor to come into the room. After about 45 minutes I asked the nurse how much longer it would be and she just told me that he was in a meeting but this was also after she told me the doctor would be in shortly. The doctor nor the nurse that scheduled the appointment even asked why I was there. He immediately told me I needed to loose weight and he was not very nice about it. I felt really uncomfortable the whole time I was there. The room was dirty too.

He was the rudest dr I have ever seen. He did not let me even begin to talk about the problems I was having but since he didn't like that my chart had a misprint and said I'm bipolar instead of boardline personality disorder he said I was lying when I tried correcting it. I also have have a past of narcotics abuse so he told me that was the only reason I was there even tho I've been clean 5 years. He listened to nothing I said and was extremely demeaning.
