Dr. Ali Mahmoud Ziada, MD

A very negative experience — from surgery to follow-up. My child now requires corrective surgery to undo damage.

Very poor communications skills, spent five minutes with my child, used Vaseline and a Q-tip without anesthesia to perform a procedure that we could have done at home, bill was over $2,000.00.

I would not advise taking your child to Dr. Ziada. He has turned what should have been a simple surgery for my son into my son now being scheduled for a third surgery with a different doctor. When I refused to let him operate again, he was very rude and acted as if I shouldn't question him. He kept making excuses about why things haven't worked so far and, it turns out, it was because he messed up.
