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.

I went to the doctor after my knee started cracking and grinding when I ran. We found doctor Arif Ali, MD using our insurance website. At the hospital, the nurse had an attitude because I didn’t have any pain. The doctor came in after the X-ray results and didn’t do even a proper check. He told me that I’m healthy and my X-rays were normal. He said he could request an MRI, but it would only be to prove his hypothesis that I didn’t have anything. I asked if I should continue running? He said: “yes live your life to the fullest”. After the appointment, I continued running every day, but the pain in my knee became unbearable. I had an MRI done and they found a meniscus tear grade lll, inflammation, extra fluid and small cysts! I got misdiagnosed and the doctor was so conceited and so vain, that he ended up making my knee worse. He only cares about making money by doing surgeries. We talked to the practice manager Amina, who would talk to the doctor and call us back but she never did.

Misdiagnosed me twice. Did more damage to my hip because of this. Refused to remit entire medical records and during a deposition, he was arrogant and dishonest. His license should be suspended. Run from this charlatan/butcher.

Dr. Ali was impressive from the first moment I met him. In pre-op he took all the time I needed to speak with me and answer all of my questions. He explained that there were a number of possible outcomes, and I was thrilled to learn that after surgery he was able to obtain the best possible outcome for me. I was extremely impressed with his bedside manner - such a top rated and experienced surgeon could easily be cold and too busy but Dr. Ali was anything but. His team was amazing too.

Dr.Ali is hands down one of the most caring and kind physicians we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. My daughter tore her ACL twice and both times had her repair done with Dr. Ali. He did a wonderful job at easing her anxieties about surgery and really listened to her needs, making her feel comfortable. He has excellent bedside manner and goes above and beyond to care for his patients and addressing their families. We highly recommend him to everyone!
