UC Davis
Hi, I had my surgery at UCSF, but my friend had hers at UCD with Dr. Ali.
I was disappointed in the education through UCSF, but I did get to tag along with her as her "support" system...and was able to atend the education sessions along with her....They overload you with info...which is a beautiful thing.
She LOVES.....Dr. Ali. They staff there if very thorough. Not sure about how friendly,helpful, etc. they are...she never said and I never asked.....but we both started this process in Oct 07 and I had my surgery 1/31/08 and she had hers 2/13/08...just about 3 mo process.
So to sum it up, my friend is very happy with the pre and post op exerience in dealing with Dr. Ali. for whatever reason, she wasn't thrilled about Dr. Fuller; which is why she pushed for Dr. Ali...AND GOT HIM.
