Amjad Ali Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My first inpression was that, he is passionate about helping people. My first impression has only grown stronger. The office staff is great and they are very friendly.rnrnWhat I like least is that I must drive a good distance for my appointments.rnrnFuture patients need to know that he is willing to answer any question and address any concerns, so write down any questions you have and ask. He will answer them.rnrnAftercare is the most important part of the procedure.rnrnThe aftercare program is structured and seems to be suited to the individual.rnrnAll risks were addressed as well as any other questions that I had.rnrnI am not one to just jump into something, esepcially something as life changing as this, I would rate Dr. Ali at the top of his field.rnrnSurgical competence and bedside manner manner are both very important, and I had / have both.

Dr Ali is wonderful. He is very soft spoken. Answered all of my and my families questions. The insurance coordinator at his office could be a little better though. I can't say that there was anything I DIDN'T like about Dr Ali. He even called my hospital room PERSONALLY the first post-op day in the afternoon. I would recommend Dr Ali to anyone in the tri-state area to Dr Ali for bariatric surgery. I really can't say anything negative about him personally.

I first met Dr. Ali back in July of 2008. He was so sweet and caring, took his time with me and answered ALL my questions and didn't rush me. He really LISTENS, doesn't write or look away from you, he looks in your eyes and LISTENS! His qualifications are great, his office staff is great, his nurses are wonderful and Sherry the insurance coordinator is so understanding (I have bothered her enough during my approval process, and she was always nice and professional). I give 2 thumbs up to Dr. Ali, I trust him 100% to do my surgery and his bedside manner is more than anyone could ask for!

My first impression of Dr. Ali was that of knowledgable and professional. My impression hasn't changed much but I like to had his sense of caring. The office staff is friendly and kind and always returned by phone calls when I would ask silly questions. Dr. Ali puts great emphasize on aftercare. He wants to see you in his office when you are to come in for an appointment, he wants to see you at support meetings. Dr. Ali addressed the risk of surgery to me in a professional manner and told me that risks are low. He was comforting. On a scale of 1-10. I rate this doctor a 10. rnI feel both surgical competence and a great bedside manner are so important in wls.

I seriously love this man! He has been fantastic from the get go...I haven't had the surgery yet, and I was due to a while ago but with all the personal things that have been going on in my life lately the timing just hasnt been good. Dr. Ali has been a great support, and based on how well my gall bladder surgery with him went, I know I am in capable hands.

I am very impressed with the aftercare and the emphasis on attending support group meeting. The meetings cover a broad range of topics.

I would reccomend Dr. Ali to anyone who is seeking bariatric surgery. He did my surgery and my husband's. Without going on and on, I can't say enough about how wonderful he is. He was professional, conscientious, and above all else a skilled surgeon. I had no complications from my surgery nor did my husband. We are both thrilled to have a new lease on life. rnrnMy first impression of Dr. Ali, was that although he is a surgeon, he doesn't think he is God. (What's the difference between God and a surgeon? God doesn't think he is a surgeon.) The only way that my impression of Dr. Ali changed over time was that my respect for him grew. I also liked all of the office staff. They are friendly and make you feel comfortable. The only negative that I have to report is that it often took a lot of calls for someone to get back to me on insurance issues. There is a structured pre surgery and aftercare program. Dr. Ali and Dr. Areola (his office partner) also provide support meetings on a regular basis for their patients and prospective patients. I give Dr. Ali the highest rating on both surgical competence and bedside manner.

Dr. Ali is the best! I had my surgery with him in Kansas City Missouri in September 2003. I weight 418 lbs. I now weight 145 and FEEL WONDERFUL! Thank you for changing my life and helping me. You will never know how much respect i hold for you Dr. Ali. 273 lbs gone forever. I have maintained by current weight for about 1 year now. Dr. Ali is the man! He makes sure you are aware that what you are going to go thru is just a tool and not a quick fix. He makes sure you are medically healthy to even have the surgery. He is a very respectful, honest, sincere man. I definately recommend him to anyone having gps.
