Patient Reviews for Dr. Ali Mohamadi - MD
This was the second visit for my eight year old daughter and just as with our first, Dr. Mohamadi was terrific --a great bedside manner with my daughter and what I thought was a complete and thorough explanation of the issues for me. Having recently met with other pediatric endocrinologists in the DC area, I was very impressed with Dr. Mohamadi all around, and would highly recommend him.
Was great with my daughter and took all the time to explain things at end of the visit. Highly recommend him. Just wish our family practitioner was like that :)
Dr. Mohamadi is methodical in his approach to the benefit of his patients. He is personable and he understands how to make both patient and family comfortable.
His medical knowledge and amazing bedside manner are evenly matched. I highly recommend him. He is worth the drive!
Dr. Mohamadi manages to be very professional while also creating a friendly and comfortable environment in his office. I would highly recommend him!
He was wonderful. He took the time to make my daughter comfortable. He educated us and answered every question we had. Encouraged us to call back if additional questions come up. All Doctors should be like Dr. Mohamadi! Office staff were wonderful as well.
Dr. Ali is awesome! He explains things in a very clear and understandable manner. He patiently answers all your questions; you never feel rushed.
He is fabulous and I would highly recommend him.
Dr. Mohamadi is the best!
Just as I thought, Dr Mohamadi was wonderful.
I appreciated all the time he spent answering questions.
He spent a lot of time with me and my son taking the medical history and explaining the potential diagnosis.
Exceptional communication skills, pleasant and very professional. A kind, caring and astute physician. Highly recommended!
Very good rapport with kids. Highly recommend him.
Very impressed with him. Absolutely wonderful with my 13 yo son Noah and myself. Provided clear explanations to him which was great. My only criticism is that we had an X-ray taken in the morning and the tech said she would get to result to Dr. Mohamadi yesterday. He had said he would call but he didn't. I would have preferred a call back (to me or my husband) even if the X-ray results were not available just so we (I) could be less concerned over the holiday weekend. Otherwise, he was great!
He's an excellent clinician. He connected very closely with our son and was able to explain complex issues about his diabetic care, as well as diabetes in general. Dr. Mohamadi addresses each of our questions and ensures that we understand what is said (he's fluent in "lay speak"). If he is unable to answer our questions, he contacts other specialists immediately (right in front of us- so we are there to help phrase our questions/issues for better explanation). Dr. Mohamadi is easy to get ahold of between appointments. His office is easy to access and we have yet to wait for our appointments upon arriving there. I cannot recommend him higher!
A highly competent and personable physician. A rare combination. We learned more with him in 30 minutes than we learned from our prior endocrinologist in 6 years.
He was very patient. Took the time to explain everything and office staff was great.
He was great, very engaging with my 13 year old son. Very thorough, seemed very knowledgeable. Explained my son's condition to him in understandable language/terms. Very convenient location, easy to get an appointment. Parked very easily across the street in the Saks parking lot, it's much easier than hassling with this medical building's underground parking.
Dr Mohamadi is knowledgeable, generous with his time and connects well with my son.
Dr.Mohamadi was very professional and took his time to explain everything in terms that both myself and my 14 year old son could understand. He went of his way to make my son feel comfortable through out the appointment. The best experience that I have had at a doctors office. I would absolutely recommend this doctor!
He is friendly, knowledgable and on-time. He has a lovely bedside manner.
I took my 14 year old son in today for a visit. Dr. Mohamadi was very nice. We appreciated the way he explained my son's issues in terms we could both understand and how sensitive and knowledgeable he was. He was sensitive, caring and interacted very well with my son. We will definitely go back.
Dr. Mohamadi saw my 13 year old son. He was warm, thorough and took plenty of time with us. He relates well with kids and adults. I would definitely recommend him to someone else.
We had a really good experience. Dr. Mohamadi is very kind and puts people at ease. His office staff is very nice too.
Ali is very knowledgable and has great bed side manners. He is great at explaining complicated medical issues in a very simple and easy to understand way. He is very visual and that helps you grasp complicated medical issues. He also is very sensitive in dealing with smaller patients and their parents.
Dr. Mohamadi is amazing. My only regret is he was our 3rd endocrinologist and not our first. He gives great explanations, is not someone who pushes growth hormones if you don't want them, is great with my son and extremely accessible. Highly recommend.
Very positive. He was very thorough and clear in his explanations.
I would highly recommend Dr. Mohamadi.
Very thorough and excellent bed side manner.
Wonderful!
Many thanks!
Dr. Mohamadi may as well have stepped off of a movie set - he is an ideal endocrinologist in every way!
Very good. He was friendly, funny, caring and very sensitive. Very professional and like his sensitivity to discuss deeper concerns in front of our child.
Dr. Mohamadi was warm, personable and informative. Thank you.
Dr. Mohamadi is one of the warmest and most genuine physicians I have encountered in my life. I've met alot of doctors in my 60 years, especially in the last ten years as both a premature baby and a seriously ill parent have been in my care. I could only wish that every doctor they needed were like this one. His manner was relaxed yet he was clearly on top of all medical information. We have had only one appointment thus far and it could not have been more satisfactory. The diagnosis means we will likely be visiting him again -- we would certainly not go to anyone but him-- and it is a relief to know that we will be in his care.
Dr. Mohamadi was warm and gentle with our two year old daughter who is very nervous with doctors. He brought us a lot of comfort by taking the time to talk us through our daughter's situation in terms that we understood.
My daughter felt very comfortable, and so did I.. We will definately be coming back..
Dr Mohamadi was excellent! i couldn't have been more pleased with the visit. All of my questions were answered. I am comfortable with our treatment plan. If there were more doctors like Dr Mohamadi, the world would be a better place.
He was extremely personable and able to establish a rapport with my son immediately.
Dr. Mohamadi took plenty of time with us, answered all of our questions, and was very thorough. He communicated with our son and with us, as parents, with equal sensitivity.
Amazing doctor with a great bedside manor!
Dr. Mohamadi has an exceptional bedside manner -- my two small children felt very comfortable and at home in his office, as did I. He did a great job explaining his diagnosis to me.
Very positive experience with Dr. Mohamadi. Sensitive to children.
He was very personable, and made my son feel very comfortable. I will bring my other children in to be checked as well.
Dr. Mohamadi is an excellent doctor, whom I highly recommend. He has great expertise and explains medical diagnoses and issues very clearly. He is also exceptionally friendly and sensitive to the concerns of his patients.
Very smart and knowledgeable. Very good at explaining everything. Would highly, highly recommend to anyone needing a Pediatric Endocrinologist.
He is REALLY great. Engages with my teenager and inspires him to be responsible for his own health.
He was very friendly, warm and thorough. He explained everything so my son could understand what was happening and the exam.
