Dr. Ali was absolutely fab! He answered all guestions, explained things in a manner that a medically illiterate like myself can understand and exuded a charming confidence. My only disappointment was that, with a name like Mohammed Ali, I expected him to just knock the rash out of me, instead of prescribing meds. Oh well, I have confidence in his decision anyway.

I really could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Ali. He always listens to me, respects my concerns and opinions, and respects my decisions with regard to my care. We actually have real discussions about my care and I highly respect him and his knowledge. He is very good at explaining the reasoning behind his suggestions and I respect that.

I can't give Dr. Ali as high of marks as I'd like. He's that good of a doctor, exceeding both my expectations as well as all other doctors' qualities - both medical knowledge as well as interpersonal skills. Thank you to Emory for bringing him on.
