Dr Asha Vali

I have been a patient of Dr. Vali's for over 6 years. When I began treatment for my diabetes, my blood glucose level was well over 160 mg/dl. Now it is consistently under 100 mg/dl, and often in the 80s mg/dl! I have gone from being diabetic to pre- diabetic, and might be non-diabetic. My weight has gone from over 200 lbs. to 185 lbs. I have more energy and feel very good about my health! Kudos to Dr. Vali and her assistants, Rosie and Norma! They are very professional, courteous, and pleasant to visit. I thank you all for potentially adding years to my life!!

I came to Dr. Vali having just moved to the area. She was kind and listened to my full story, taking time and offering flexible appointment times to help ease the burden of missing work to attend appts. She explored many treatment options and helped treat me in an interdisciplinary way. She also offered to help connect me to resources and specialists and checked up on me to ensure things were going well.

No one here knows Dr. Vali like I do. Trust me when I tell you she's the best family doctor you'll ever find. And I can tell you this after she diplomatically dumped me as a patient a year ago. I was her patient for more than ten years. The first time I saw her was in Clarksville - a single family home converted into an office. It didn't seem as organized other doctor's offices I'd visited. And while that did turn out to be true, I've since visited many, many of those more "organized" offices. And they are so cold, detached, money-driven and incompetent that I dread visiting them. It is true that the wait is sometimes too long. I learned it's always best to call before the appointment and ask if they're running behind. Sometimes they might tell you it's okay to come a little later if you can. She is a first come, first serve doctor. So if your appointment is at 1200 but the person with the 1230 appointment signs in first, you're going to wait. I've learned there's a reason… she's always running behind. A good reason. There were times she spent nearly two hours with me - TWO HOURS. Be patient while she provides excellent care for the person ahead of you, so she can do the same for you. The reviews about the office staff are pure bunk. Rosie is usually working the front office. And there's no one nicer. This woman is as sweet, funny and charming as they come. Seriously. They were all great. I can now say I am probably the sickest patient she ever had. I suspected as much when my hair started falling out and no one could figure out why. I had muscle damage and bone damage. The "experts" thought I had muscular dystrophy. I do have an amazing story - it's impossible to put into words here. But while the "experts" were running me ragged and refusing to prescribe anything other than anxiety meds, Dr. Vali continued to stick with me. But after nearly two years of being so sick, losing an amazing job, nearly losing my home, and coming to the realization that this was something hereditary - because my children were showing symptoms...I finally did have anxiety. I became angry at the "experts" for having no answers and not trying harder. And I became angry with Dr. Vali when she refused to refer me to a world-reknowned oncologist that charges a mere $4000 for an office visit and one follow up. Initially, she said she'd do the referral. But I waited...and waited. She finally told me she wouldn't do it. I didn't hide how I felt as I nearly stormed out of her office. I had told her she was wrong. But perhaps she wasn't. That oncologist would have likely diagnosed me with his favorite pet disease (the one making him rich). The drugs he would have prescribed would have probably worked only by coincidence (same class of drug used to treat my disease). But I'd have gone down a much different path and would have never figured this out. And I wouldn't know how to fight the disease my children have. I have her to thank for that. This woman deserves 10 stars. Now excuse me while I go grovel and beg her to take me back.

Although, Dr. Vali is an EXCELLENT DOCTOR,her office worker Olita is the most disrespectful, non-educated, pion I have ever come into contact with. Since her employment roughly 5 years ago, I only come in for dire emergenciies. I would rather suffer physically then to talk to and deal with Olita. Unfortunatley, she is the front line of communication which sickens me. As a result, I will be looking for another doctor. SORRY DOCTOR!!!
