'I met Dr. Ali last year(2005). I thought he was very softspoken and intelligent. I am looking forward to getting RNY surgery end of this year. I trust that Dr. ALI will be an excellent surgeon. He answered any questions that I had
As with all medical facilities these days understaffed and over worked. With these 2 issues in mind the staff did a very good job of taking care of me.
The nursing staff was extremely competent and considerate. They made sure my stay was as comfortable as possible and had absolutely no problems with my wife staying in my room with me overnight.
Dr. Ali is very thorough and highly competent. He put me at ease right away but was very up front about the pros and cons of the surgery.
The Hamot Bariatric Center is well run and very helpful. All the staff is very supportive and accessible for questions or concerns.
Dr. Ali insists on careful follow-up after surgery. He laid out clear goals and procedures for me to follow concerning exercise, diet, and follow-up. He has strong expectations that his patients follow the rules.
He is an outstanding surgeon and has very good bedside manner. He seems to really care about his patients.
Dr. Ali is a very soft spoken man and seems to be a very caring man. He also seems to be very honest and thorough. He has made me feel at ease in regards to the surgery and will do what he can so that I can have the surgery laproscopic. I have had only one meeting with him to date. He is however, taking time to go to Jamestown, NY to speak to the support group that I attend. He answered my questions and I feel that he was very honest. I asked him his mortality rate and he told me that he has lost 2 patience and both were diabetics. He did however yawn a lot when he was talking to us in a group, but it was just after lunch. The office staff is great! The nurse herself has had the surgery and knows what you are going through and is sensitive to that. I will add more as I have had more interface with Dr. Ali and his staff.
I have met with Dr. Ali to sign all of the consent forms. He was very informative and a very kind and caring man. He keeps up with the latest in regards to the surgery and I feel very comfortable with him. His staff is the greatest. They are also very informative and help with any problems. I am very greatful for Dr. Ali and his staff. Also the staff at Hamot hospital are for the most part very friendly and helpful. I know that I have made the right choice and would recommend Dr. Ali to any and all.
