If you want a doctor that doesn't give the right precsciptions and makes you wait for hours in the waiting room, then this is the doctor for you. I have never waited less than an hour just to see the doctor, usually more. He never remembers what meds is patients are taking nor the problems they have.

Expect to always wait at least 2 hours once you arrive, even with an appointment. Dr. Ali doesn't seem to pay attention to his own paperwork. I have had him give me different meds that I should have because he didn't pay attention. I've even had him short me meds for the same reason.

I don't mind seeing the dr & waiting maybe half an hour for my appt, but most of the time he is overbooked. One time I waited 3hrs! To long!! He takes some time with his patients so may e that is why

I have never waited less than 2 hours here due to incompetent staff and backward practices. Dr Ali does not listen to me when I am trying to be an advocate for my care. He does whatever he wants and sends you on your way with whatever meds he wants even if you don't want them. If I was not moving out of the area next month I would leave him anyway. If you have lots of time to waste and just want to be shot up, he's your man.
