"Dr Ali is a really caring and friendly person. He was great enough to make sure that I had no questions about my upcoming surgery. He seems to have a great bedside manner and I will soon find out just how competent he is. I think that both of these traits are equally important. Since he is part of a medical group that does bariatric surgery there is the same office staff for all the doctors in the group. The staff is really great and very helpful to everyone. It seems like one big family with the patients included in that family."
