"Dr. Ali and his staff were absolutely amazing! They were attentive, professional, and made my procedure a smooth and comfortable experience. Highly recommend their exceptional care!"

"Urology SA in Fredericksburg is by far the best. They are professional, caring, knowledgeable and proficient in all they do for patient.

"The care provided by Dr Ali and the entire support team was exceptional. He personally explained the results after waking from the anesthesia. I highly recommend Dr Ali if you need a colonoscopy or seek other gastrointestinal care."

"My recent colonoscopy procedure with Dr. Muhammad Ali at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio was a very pleasant and professional experience. The people at the front desk, the person taking my information, the anesthesiologists, the people in the procedure room, Dr. Ali and the nurse who walked me out to my car were all beyond helpful, kind, and friendly. I am grateful that they put my mind to rest about this procedure that most people don’t look forward to. Thank you to all of you!"
"My appointment with Dr. Muhammad Ali was great and extremely professional. Dr. Ali and his staff explained everything in detail and provided a comfortable environment for the procedure. Professional people who provide professional care. Thank you, Dr. Ali and staff."
"I recently had Dr. ALI, and his staff for Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio. I showed for my appointment on time, but seemed to be the beginning of rush hour. I was waiting for awhile in line after I figured where to stand. A elderly couple not that elderly, skipped to front of line. Can't help that. Once I ckd in went very smoothly. I had a great experience until I was under, then it was over. So when I was under it must of went okay. Pretty Quick. Thank Dr. and staff for making this easy."
"Short wait time. Clean, courteous, professional office and staff. Dr. M is easy to talk to and seems to really listen as well as inform you of whats going on."
"Staff was friendly. Wait time was not too bad . Dr Ali’s nurse Vicky was so nice and Dr Ali explained my surgery and what to expect. He took his time. Over all my experience was great."
"This was my 12th Endoscopy,Colonoscopy and by far the best experience to date. Professional from front desk to the discharge. A shout-out to my Anesthesiologist,you were the best! See you all in 3 years."
"Excellent at what he does. The exam is quick and painless. I would recommend him for future exams. Once your done he comes to tell you your results before you can leave."
"My first time getting a colonoscopy, and Dr Ali and his staff were awesome. They explain the whole procedure and what I should expect. Very professional and knowledgeable."
"I’ve had a cough for 2 years now. I thought I had throat cancer. Dr Ali diagnosed GERD treated me with a proton pump inhibitor and no more cough, just like that. And recently I had a fibroscan on my liver, office called back in reasonable amount of time and gave me the negative results rather than going in for a f/u just for Dr or nurse to tell you that."
"I am a new person! I’ve had trouble with my stomach since I was a kid, over 40 years, and I have seen SO many doctors. Dr Ali is the only one that was determined to help me. I don’t know how to thank someone for helping me be pain free except to write a review."
"Dr. Ali was truly awesome with my surgery. I would recommend him to anyone without any reservations. He was so professional and was seriously concerned with my hesitation and helped me understand the importance of ensuring I complete my colonoscopy. A real superstar and winner!"
"I had my first visit with Dr. Ali recently and I was very happy with his office. I was checked in right away and the wait time was very minimal. The office staff was nice and friendly. Dr. Ali took his time to discuss my concerns and I did not feel rushed. I know I'm in the right place with Dr. Ali's office."
"All the nurses and technicians were professional and friendly. At each step they explained what would happen. Dr. Ali was kind and friendly, and did a good job of explaining the results of my colonoscopy. Everything was done in a timely manner."
"I was scheduled to have my colonascopy done on August 28th. I did the prep on August 27th. I arrived at 6:00 am for the procedure and the hospital didn't have me in the system for the test. I called the doctors office several times and left messages. As of today September 6th nobody has responded to my messages. Very sad business 😢"
"This was my first time getting a colonoscopy and I'm so thankful it was Dr Ali. He is kind and understanding along with his staff. The only thing I didn't like was the prep, but made it thru. Thank you"
"My experience was such: The day of my procedure, I was driving around (6:15am for a 7:00 showtime). trying to locate the facility. I drove to the SA Gastrologist (Babcock) and was told I had no such appt. I then drove to the HWY151 office (located on the mailer) and was alarmed to know that that office no loner exist. My daughter noticed that the new office was on another floor. We proceeded to that office to be told, they do not provide that service but she receptionist (kind and understanding)gave me the correct address (which was a few block over from SA Gastrologist) By that time, someone from the clinic called to remind me of my appt. I explained my situation, and was kindly met with "we understand and we will wait on you." That brought relief, knowing I didn't want to reschedule. I arrived at the correct location and again met with kindness (after being more than 1 hour late). I cannot thank the staff from the front desk to the intake nurse, anesthesiologist, and of course Dr. Muhammad for making this uncomfortable experience a pleasant one."
"My last visit was on Aug 1, 2023 for a Fibroscan on my Liver. The nurse was Michelle (?) and she was just lovely and very kind, with a beautiful smile. 😁"
"Dr. Ali and staff made my 1st colonoscopy experience great. The anesthesiologist explained the process very well and Dr. Ali ensured I didn’t have any questions prior. After my colonoscopy Dr. Ali explained my outcome and again ensuring I had no questions or concerns. Definitely recommend Thank you all 😃"
"All went well, from finally getting me an appointment which i had intended a few months back with no avail. Tried again and was told sorry you were given the wrong information. Filled out all info online and at front desk, all were kind, as well as the nurses, technicians in the preop room, during procedure, Dr. Ali was friendly and made you feel calm. Also the nurse after procedure who wheeled me out. Thank you so much."
"It's a great blessing to be able to get my most up-to-date information on my colon. Dr Ali and the whole team are doing a great job with care, compassion, and helping me understanding my results. Planning for future as well. Highly recommend Dr Ali, his Gas Passer, (Anesthesiologist), and everyone else I met, and who assisted me. A pleasant "nap" my part was easy, painless, and really reassuring. Thanks again. Dr M."
"Very clean facility and all the staff was super friendly! Doc explained everything at my comprehension level. I'm sorry I snored so loud 😔 Thank you!!!"
"Dr. Ali and staff always show the greatest concern for my family's health. This is done with as little drama as possible. Urgent issues are conveyed in a way to instill confidence and minimize fear. It is an easy recommendation to make for their services!"
"The entire medical staff was courteous and friendly unfortunately I cannot say the same for one receptionist. The receptionist is the first person I spoke with and was very rude. I was disappointed because the interaction with this specific personnel set a negative tone. However, once I was taken to the back to prep for my procedure, my mind was immediately changed. There is a significant difference in attitude and atmosphere between the front staff and medical staff once I was taken to the back."
"Dr Ali is awesome doctor very compassionate and has time listen to your needs. Also his staff very nice especially Esther , And Esther thank you again for being very caring rapid response. ❤️"

Dr Ali was very thorough in explaining my results as he walked me through what he saw and did. I definitely recommend their services. Thanks, Jeff"

"I just want to say that Dr Ali was amazing he’s very smart, with just the recommendation that he give me I got lots better I’ll highly recommend him to everyone he’s the best. Thank you so much!"
"Everything went well. The staff was efficient and kind. There are 2 reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 stars. The first is that it took my nurse 3 tries to get the IV functioning. The second is that although my procedure was scheduled for 11 AM, I had to be there at 10 AM, after which I spent an hour just sitting in the waiting area. I was called back, and it was another 45 minutes before I was wheeled into the operating room. I understand the wait once I was called back, but I fail to see why I needed to be there a full hour ahead of the scheduled time. It seems to me that 15 minutes would be sufficient. I did like that the office did a follow-up call the next day, and I received the results of the tests and biopsy in only 1 week."
"My husband was referred to Dr. Ali for liver issues noticed by his regular Dr., it turns out he had Hep C! He doesn't dink alcohol so it was very surprising. Dr. Ali and the office staff basically saved his life with their discovery, care and recommendations. I will be forever grateful!"

"Fast friendly and knowledgeable. It may seem kind of vague since I did go in for a colonoscopy, but it was quite simply.

Dr Ali comes at the very end explains everything and will answer any questions you have. And done. Easy peasy."

The staff were all friendly, from the initial reception area to nurses that first prepped, then assisted (guessing here - they were physically there when I was being anaesthetized) with the procedure. While I do not look forward to my next colonoscopy, I have full confidence in Dr. Ali and the entire staff."
"I was pleasantly surprised at the care and friendliness of the staff. They are very busy office but they each took the time to make eye contact smile and give a greeting. As a nurse I can see a smile even when masked. Procedures can sometimes be very stressful so seeing friendly faces albeit behind the masks was very comforting. Dr. Ali is first class. He and his staff are to be commended for their exceptional care. I would not hesitate to recommend this team to anyone in need of care."
"Dr. Ali is very professional and is comfortable to speak to about your issues. Dr. Ali does a great job of reviewing your medical records before your 1st appointment to stay on top of anything that looks as it could be a concern. I appreciate his attention to my specific concerns and addressing them all. Staff rocks and everyone is on the ball and very professional. Thanks for a great experience."
"My procedure went very well. The front office was very professional, and I was processed very quickly. Dr. Ali was very kind and talked with me before and after the procedure. I highly recommend hims and his staff."
"I admit I was nervous before getting my checkup by the nurse all the way up until I was called in. The staff was remarkable at explaining the steps and making my nerves subside. They were informative and pleasant. My doctor came in and introduced himself with a smile. The procedure was quick and painless. The recovery I was greeted with a happy hello and some water. They called my ride and away I went after the results were reviewed."

"Dr. Ali and his entire team (anesthesiologist, nurses, and front office personnel) were incredible! From initial contact, reception, procedure, recovery, and hopefully billing of the VA (unknown at time of review if this went well). Assuming the billing is 100% handled by office personnel and the VA (no out of pocket expense for me), I highly recommend Dr. Ali and his coordinated team. Special thanks to the anesthesiologist (I am so sorry for forgetting her name). She used a perfect amount of anesthesia enabling a painless procedure and rapid recovery."

"I have had several colonoscopy performed by Dr Ali.

He took all the time I needed and after reviewing my issues laid out a plan and procedures he wanted me to have. Good listener."
"I have seen Dr. Ali for some serious gastritis on October 6, 2021. First of all, Dr. Ali moved my appointment up because I was feeling very bad. Dr. Ali is very kind and knowledgeable.He has been a good listener, is caring and he ordered an endoscopy. He has been the physician for this procedure also. Dr. Ali communicated with me right after the procedure and I also received a call about the biopsy a few days later. The follow up was excellent.

"I began to see Dr. Ali right after the pandemic started. He was able to diagnose and treat me for my fatty almost cirrhosis liver. With his help my liver levels dropped 75% and my liver is now functioning normally. My IBS has also been controlled with his help. Thank you, Dr. Ali!"
"All persons attending me were nice, courteous, informative and helpful. The colonoscopy was quick and painless. Dr. Ali was also quite informative, explaining all that transpired during the procedure. Quite happy with the procedure. The only thing I would change would be the PRE-OP prep. The liquid med is horrible! If there was a way to use a tablet for the same purpose instead, that would be grand!"
"Best nap ever!! The entire staff was terrific, from the reception desk to recovery. They made me feel comfortable the entire time. And Dr Ali was great, he explained everything to me before he started and after it was over. He even apologized for the extra wait while taking special care of the patient before me."

From the first call on setting up the appointment, to the follow-up conversations before the procedure, all the way to the moment after leaving the appointment and getting in my car, the team was very professional and I had an awesome experience.

Dr. Ali personally delivered the post-procedure results and discharge instructions. I highly recommend GCSA! Thank you, Mike Nemcic"

I will happily continue trusting him and his outstandingly incredible team with my gut health."

"I have to say the experience was as fantastic as it could be. From the check in process to screening and prep in the back to the actual procedure everything was great. I had put off this exam because I am a big chicken. Other then the prep concoction you have to drink the night prior which unfortunately is pretty bad everything after that was great. My delay in taking the test was not smart and I am just happy everything came out well. Not looking forward to doing it again but not fearing the procedure or this provider."

"The entire process was pleasant. The staff were kind and knowledgeable, the sure prep was much easier to take than the big jug of Golytely, the patient pre-procedure instructions were easy to follow, the Anesthesiologist met with me prior and told me what to expect, and Dr. Ali met with me immediately after to answer all my questions. I understand people aren't excited about having a GI procedure done, but the staff and Physicians at Gastroenterology Consultants of San Antonio make the experience a good one."
"The gunk you have to drink is the worst just to drink. Every thing done when you arrive is all about Covid safety. Staff is so very nice out side and inside getting ready for test. The next thing that happen hi Barbara would you like Apple juice or water. That is it. The nurse said yes. I never felt any pain. This was my first one I was worried scared for nothing. I felt no pain even when I got home. My family doctor said Dr Ali. Is the best He was very nice. And really made me feel he cared."
"My experience with Dr Ali and his team is by far the best experience I've ever had in a hospital. It was a seamless process and amazing staff. Thank you for procedure and favorable result."
"I highly recommend Dr. Ali. i was referred to him a few years ago. I found him highly knowledgeable as well as very friendly. When my son was experiencing gastrointestinal problems, I immediately thought of Dr. Ali. He fit him in to his schedule the very next day. He was very helpful, attentive, and understanding. I highly recommend him , He is very good at what he does!"
"So I have never done a virtual communication but it was very convenient being a busy mom. The advice given by Dr. Ali helped calm my nerves. Thank you"
"It was so nice to speak with a friendly doctor who actually listened and I have total faith that he's going to help me until I get my medical issues resolved!"
"My experience with Dr. Ali was awesome. Every single person that I came in contact with before and during my procedure was professional and friendly. Although I met Dr. Ali for the first time right before my procedure, it felt as if I was talking to someone that I had known all of my life. I would highly recommend him and his staff to anybody, anywhere."
"Dr. Ali and his staff are always friendly and helpful. I absolutely love his bed side manners. He explains everything thoroughly and is very patient. He listens and does not make you feel rushed and is very detailed. Keep up the great work!"
"Mine was a telephone appointment with Dr. Ali. My concern was a GERD issue. Since my grandmother died with stomach cancer, I was anxious to get checked by an expert. Dr. Ali was very kind and reassuring, asked a lot of relevant questions and responded expertly to my answers. He ordered a non-invasive Barium swallow test to confirm his tentative diagnosis that my problem is most likely not serious. Dr. Ali struck me as the type of doctor for whom medicine is not just a profession, but a calling! I am grateful to my primary physician for referring me to Dr. Ali."
"Dr. Muhammad Ali was very professional and very clear with his explanations on what to expect prior to the procedure. Afterwards he went over the event and detailed the findings in terms I could easily understand. As a matter of fact, my overall experience at the Gastroenterology Consultants facility exceeded my expectations."
"Had a procedure done by dr. Ali .he explain everything about my procedure from start to finish. Every staff member was super nice. God bless you guy's all 👍🙂"
"From the very beginning booking my appointment, to being seen, scheduled for my procedure and after was a #1 experience. Personable and professional staff I would HIGHLY recommend the office and MD Muhammad Ali 😁"
"This place is a well oiled machine...but, its a machine that cares about its patients and comfort. From the moment I was registered to the moment I walked out--great smiles abound. Dr. M Ali was very informative and answered all my questions. I was at ease..and I highly recommend this outfit."
"This team was very professional and Nice. I was in and out after my procedure all under an hour. I highly recommend my Dr. Ali and all of his staff! They will treat you like family."
"Dr. Muhammad was very intuitive to my concerns, great to talk with, and very much detail oriented. I would very much recommend Dr. Muhammad and his staff with no hesitation."
"Dr. Ali and his staff were very kind, helpful and informative throughout my entire process. They communicated effectively and made sure that I always understood what was going on. The facility was very clean and on the day of my procedure, everything went smoothly and much faster than I anticipated."
"I had come in for a routine colonoscopy. I arrived at the office, the people at the desk were courteous and efficient. Then I was taken to another room to answer some questions. This nurse was very kind, i didn't just feel like a number being herded through a process. Although there were many people going through the same process, for routine an non-routine procedures in this facility, each person that spoke with me was kind, thorough, and efficient. I have a severe hearing loss, so my husband was allowed to accompany most of the way through the process until the procedure itself. However, the anesthesiologist that came in to explain the procedure was super friendly, caring and also took the effort to speak so that I could hear him. The doctor and all those in the actual room where the procedure was done were just as nice and friendly. They really made you feel comfortable and like they cared. Even the next day, I got a call from the office to check on me. This was one of the best group of nurses, doctors and anesthesiologists I've ever met! thank you."
"As you know this is probably one of the most uncomfortable examinations you think you can have however the entire team was very supportive never pushy. It started from the receptionist to the nurses the doctors to the Anesthesiologist were very informative with the procedure prior to the examination. They followed up I would highly recommend this doctor he is a professional and so is his staff and it’s something that needs to be done for our health. I usually don’t do things like this but it’s a must for life."
"Had a phone visit with Dr Ali. He was very friendly and put me at ease with the matter we were discussing. Willing to answer all my questions.Look forward to meetingin person."
"Th experience with my colonoscopy both pre snd post was amazingly positive. It’s not the finest procedure to contemplate of course....but The instructions were clear and discussed twice with me, as well as Explanations of what to expect on the actual event day. All of the team That morning were exceptional; both in the articulation Of the process and in the carrying and empathy shown to me that morning. Dr. Ali and Dr. Goldstein’s we’re calm and exacting in their instructions as well as the nurses and assistants. I was comfortable both before And after the event; care was extraordinary with reassuring Messages post procedure and what yo expect at home. The caring attitudes of Dr. Ali and his nurse Esther during follow up Contacts, plus other office associates were All first class! You get the idea they all really care about you and doing things correctly & that this isn’t just a job for fir them! Thank you to them for making this experience the best possible. Lilli Barnett"
"Dr. Ali is very professional and listened intently to my issues and a plan to work on the issue. I never felt rushed. He is very kind and cares about his patients."
"My experience getting my second colonoscopy screening was actually a pleasure. I know this sounds a little bit nutty, since it's a colonoscopy, but let me explain. First of all, the staff at this facility was wonderfully attentive in helping me prepare for the appointment over the phone and via email. When I began to take the preparation formula on the day before the exam, I experienced some uncomfortable symptoms and I called Dr. Ali. He immediately called me back and offered an alternative formula for me that worked wonderfully and which I was comfortable with. I appreciated how he listened closely to my concerns and cared what I had to say. I was able to prepare for the procedure without any discomfort whatsoever. I felt light and clean and hydrated, and I slept well the night before. On the day of the procedure I arrived to a pristine, new and beautiful facility and was greeted by a friendly desk clerk. When I was escorted to the back, all of the staff were sweet to make sure I was comfortable. Although I was the last appointment for the day, I didn't have to wait long to go into surgery. The entire procedure, from arrival to departure, lasted less than two hours. I was introduced to the anesthesiologist who made me feel calm and relaxed and also to another nurse who went out of her way to accommodate a couple of health concerns I have--and did so always making me feel at complete ease. The screening/operating room was cozy, dim, and warm--more like a little tv room. I had a blanket and fuzzy sox. Dr. Ali also came and spoke with me before the procedure to let me know what he would be doing. He is friendly, sweet, and highly experienced. I can see that they were all taking excellent care of me and that I was in very skilled and caring hands. When I was given the twilight drug, it was a pleasant and brief moment for which I woke instantly and the procedure was already finished. I was able to stand right away, dress, and meet my husband outside in less than five minutes. I will also say that the facility took extra measures to make this a Covid-Safe zone. I was in a great mood after that and was talkative and relaxed the entire day. So I guess the twilight drug/anesthesia agreed with me ; ) I am moving to the west coast and if I can afford to fly across the country to have Dr. Ali and his staff do my next colonoscopy, I will! I felt fine and was excited to learn that I even lost a few pounds from the fast. My father died of colon cancer a few years ago because he had not taken proper screenings, so I highly recommend everyone do this. Dr. Ali discovered a minuscule-sized polyp and removed it--no pain afterwards. You are in great hands with Dr. Ali--and I can see why this facility was voted the best Gastro clinic in Texas."
"Very nice facility and one of the nicest and most considerate physicians I’ve ever met.In The past when I shared previous adverse reaction to a medication frequently used for conscious sedation, I was told that they always use Versed even though I listed it as an allergy. I found the staff courteous and helpful also."
"Dr Ali and his staff were terrific. They were very friendly and welcoming. Everybody took time to answer all of my questions and explained every step of the process, from IV to waking up in the post op. Dr Ali explained what would happen during my procedure and talked to me about my results afterword. An overall great experience that I highly recommend for anyone."
"This was my 50 year old right of passage. With that being said everyone at clinic was very nice and accommodating. My first time meeting Dr. Ali and answered all my questions prior and after. Colonoscopies are very humbling experiences but did not feel as such with Dr. Ali and staff."
"Dr. Ali and his staff made my experience very accommodating. Dr. Ali came to me afterwards and discussed the results. I couldn't have asked for better care."
"My husband and I both had an appt at the same time. We were in and out of the office in no time. Dr Ali was super nice and answered all questions we had."
"Dr Ali is wonderful! He takes time to listen and he is very thorough. It's difficult to find a really great Doctor so I'm very happy to have found him. His staff is considerate and knowledgeable. Dr Ali is experienced with procedures like colonoscopies and endoscopies so when I went in for my procedure it was a relief to know that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Dr Ali."
"These people were fantastic! They have a good system that runs smoothly as my appointment went. If I do it again I would make sure it was here. Great job to all."
"I had a great experience, very knowledgeable. Dr. Ali answered all of my questions, and helped me to better understand how and what I was experiencing. I will definitely recommend him too all my family and friends."
"I had a recent telemedicine call with Dr. Ali. I have seen Dr. Ali in the past and I needed his advice on a procedure recommended by another physician. As always, Dr. Ali was very thoughtful and wise in his advice. I truly appreciate his ability to listen and interact on a relational level. Which is a skill that seems to be fading from today's medical profession."
"Staff is friendly and Dr Ali is a very good specialist and I highly recommend if you are in need of a colonoscopy let this team perform it. I had so many horrid thoughts of what it would be like getting one and it was literally a piece of cake to do. No pain and no fear and would gladly do another one again with no reservations. This is coming from a patient that fears needles and anything remotely uncomfortable."
"I had a very pleasant experience ,nurses were very nice and courteous and doctor Ali was a professional also very nice and informative also very quick. Thank you all for the help in this situation I would definitely recommend this facility to my family and friends."
"Efficient & very flexible scheduling options with multiple office locations. However, missed the 5 star rating because of severe difficulty of talking to a live person when calling to schedule a procedure or appointment. Very long wait times (30+ min the 4 times i tried) for calls. They do have a call back feauture, but in my case, was unable to take advantage of it. Would recommend registering a patient portal account & conducting business on-line as much as possible. Once i finally got through the automated & over-burdened phone system the staff was friendly & knowledgeable. Surgical center staff were professional, efficient & attentive. Overall, a quick & painless experience."
"Dr. Muhammad was very intuitive to my concerns, great to talk with, and very much detail oriented. I would very much recommend Dr. Muhammad and his staff with no hesitation."
"You won’t find a Gastroenterologist with a better bedside manner. Compassionate care is what you can expect when you see Dr. Ali. His knowledge of the field is evident, but his down to earth, easy to understand answers make him stand out. He informs you of your choices, and lets you make informed decisions about your care. His staff and surgery center are exceptional. The center where I underwent an EGD and Colonoscopy was efficient, very clean, and well organized. You will have an exceptional experience if you choose this physician and utilize any of the services he offers. It’s obvious by all of the other outstanding reviews that the care I received was the norm for his clinic. I highly recommend Dr. Ali."
"Procedure we scheduled for 7:30am and the clinic and Dr. Ali was right on time. Dr. Ali introduced himself and told me what to expect from the procedure and then asked If I had any questions. The procedure went as planned and Dr. Ali meet me in recovery to discuss the findings. Very pleased with Dr. Ali."
"Dr Eli is very thorough and easy to talk to. Appointments are easy to schedule, staff are readily available to make your experience excellent. Takes time to get to know patient. Great place!"
"Dr. Muhammad was very nice as well as all his staff. He explained everything before and after the procedure. I had no issues. I definitely recommend Dr. Muhammad."
"After I explained my problem and answered Dr. Ali's questions about the symptoms I described, he explained his diagnoses in a clear and graphic manner after which he prescribed a medication to alleviate the situation. I am less than a week into using the medication and my condition is improving. I highly recommend Dr. Ali and his staff."
"My procedure took place on 01/09/2020. Staff is compassionate and knowledgeable. Dr Ali introduced himself in a caring manner and so did the anesthesiologist. They asked if I had any questions or concerns. It didn’t seem like they were just trying to rush through the procedure. After I woke up from the procedure, Dr Ali consulted with me, in regards to the results. Again...not rushing through anything. Took the time to listen and answer my questions. Overall my experience at this office was good. Thank you Dr Ali and to the staff. God bless you all."
"Dr Ali has been a tremendous help to me..He is professional and has great personality..never once did I feel I couldn't ask a question or questions..his explanations were easy to understand. I believe if you need a Gastroenterologist..make an appointment with him.. It's the right thing to do..you will be making the right decision."
"Good Afternoon, I just want to say I wish he was my first GI doctor, I went through a procedure which was not done correctly so I wasn't going to go back to that doctor, but my PCP referred me to Dr. Ali. All I can say is I wish he was the first doctor I saw to begin with. Dr. Ali and staff are absolutely awesome, kind and caring. Dr. Ali was so outgoing and made me feel real comfortable verses my first experience. He also gave me great information and we are trying something right now. Dr. Ali's calling was to be the great doctor he is in this field, kindhearted, friendly, great smile and knows his business. I'm lucky and honored to have him as my new physician and whom ever I come across that needs that kind of specialist I will be referring Dr. Ali. Thank you Dr. Ali, for being patient with me and explaining to me the proper informations and reasons of why or why not, I wish you were my doctor to begin with back in june, I don't think I would be where I am now if that would have been the case. I am blessed to have you now. Have an awesome and blessed week."
"Dr. Ali is an outstanding doctor. I recently went to see him after being referred by another doctor who diagnosed me with an autoimmune disease. He read all the referral records and exam results and was prepared for my visit. He ruled out some of the concerns based on results he studied and norrowed it down to basically one. I'm in the process of getting some exams to confirm my condition and starting my path to feeling better. He took the time to answer all our questions and put me and my husband at ease. We appreciate his care, manners and knowledge! I recommend Dr. Ali with no reservations!"
"Dr. Ali wasted no time setting me for some labs and provided results within a week. The personnel working on his staff are polite and very attentive. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Ali and his staff."
"Dr. Ali was very informative about why a patient should have a colonoscopy and the reason why it's so important for everyone to be aware of colon cancer. He was very professional and I felt at ease after my consultation."
"Outstanding, From the time I walk through the door to the time I walked out. Everyone was very professional and polite and the procedure was fast and over with before I New it. Thanks for making my procedure OUTSTANDING. Willie Adams USN Retired"

"Dr. Ali is great. Has a great bedside manner, takes his time to explain diagnoses and treatments. Never feel rushed to be seen. Staff is polite and helpfuk"
"Appointments are on time and Dr. Ali takes his time to listen to me. He is also responsive when using the patient portal. I recommend Dr. Ali for your gastro care."
"Different circumstances led both my husband and I to Dr Ali’s office last month. This was the first time we both felt like we were a true patient of the doctor, not an appointment just needing to be completed, or pushed off to a PA. Dr Ali is friendly, listens to your concerns, asks many different questions, and explains exactly what he’s going to do and why. We both highly recommend him!!"
"The experience was better than I had expected! The facility is clean and new looking, everyone was very helpful. Dr. Ali is great and I couldn't have asked for a better specialist to help me. If you know someone that needs this type of service or service from a doctor in this field, I would highly recommend Dr. Ali."
"Quality care, cooperative staff, exceptional care. What more could one want. Dr Ali is not only extremely talented but also his bedside manner is truly outstanding. Highly recommend!!"
"Visited Dr. Ali office for the first time. His office Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Visited with Dr. Ali one on one and I was very pleased with his professionalism and warmth. He listened and explained my office visit in detail and answered all my questions. I recommend Dr. Ali office to meet your health needs. I will be returning soon."
"So glad I made this appt!! This is my second go round with selecting a Gastro Dr and boy was I skeptical! The first Dr I had about 3 years ago was horrible!! I am sooo Happy that Dr. Ali was as great as everyone mentioned in previous reviews! Even before seeing Dr Ali his staff was wonderful and helped me 100% in getting a sooner appt and came through 🤗 I was seen a week earlier and was also seen at an earlier time (as I made a mistake on appt time 😯 ) He gave me so much guidance and hope in finding a solution! I will def recommend Dr Ali to anyone who is experiencing any Gastro problems! What a wonderful feeling to know that your Specialist is with you every step of the way 🤗"
