Front desk check in person was NOT very welcoming or friendly. No smile, no greeting, just 'fill out these forms'; even though I had filled out EVERYTHING online.

More about Dr. Asif Ali, DO
Dr. Ali earned his undergraduate degree at Baylor University in Waco, TX and subsequent Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine at A.T. Still University of Health Sciences. At the Texas Tech University Medical Center, he completed a residency in anesthesiology and a fellowship in pain medicine mentored by a world-renowned pain specialist, Dr. Miles Day.
Under the tutelage of Dr. Day, Dr. Ali honed his ability to tailor treatment plans to individuals. This is crucial because, although some patients may have similar issues, the circumstances around every patient’s life will vary. As an osteopathic physician, Dr. Ali takes a whole-body approach to treatment and care. Emphasis is placed on facilitating the body’s natural ability to heal. Thus, it is only natural that a patient’s environment, lifestyle, and tendencies be taken into account when determining the best course of action.
Osteopaths such as Dr. Ali assume a much more hands-on approach to patient care, prioritizing physical therapy and dealing with the psychological aspects of pain and maintain the intuition to properly administer medication and interventional therapy. This allows him to get to the root of a problem and work his way up through the hierarchy of treatment options, resulting in greater long-term patient satisfaction. This is in stark contrast to the short-term, symptomatic approach that has run rampant in the medical community for too long.
In his free time, Dr. Ali enjoys spending time with his wife and toddler, and what little time remains is usually spent running baseline cuts and slip-screens on the basketball court or reading the works of Mitch Albom.
