Dr. Ali was fantastic. I was in and out pretty quickly but it was still a very informative visit. All questions of mine were answered and I didn’t feel rushed either. I’m happy I chose her as my PCP.
July 6, 2023Jewelz G.Verified patient
Dr. Ali was quick and efficient. She let me know when my results would come in and communicated everything in a way I would understand. I received my first set of results in the timeframe she provided and she commented and let me know about the diet I would need to be on and when to come back for a follow up. She was very pleasant and I didn’t feel rushed. I would recommend her.

Dr. Ali really listened to my situation and wants to work with me to find the answers. She didn't just throw medication at me and say "this is how we'll fix it." She wants to get to the root of the problem. Or as she put it, find the correct recipe.

Wonderful doctors! She was very thorough and kind. I I felt extremely comfortable with her the entire time. I also don’t have insurance and she was very kind about trying to give me options to help me save and I really appreciate that. I will definitely be going back! ?

Wonderful experience with NP Ali! They even have electronic exam tables. This is so important for people with disabilities and seniors! Every single doctors office should have these. I had put off my well woman exam for years because I could not find an office with with anything other than the old type exam table with the pull out step. And don't get me started on the waiting room chairs to low to get up out of when you are called back! None of that at this Methodist Primary Care facility. Well thought out, pleasant staff, great Nurse Practitioner. Very grateful for this great referral from Zocdoc.
On another note, I found this NP by searching on Zocdoc for a GYN, and they are a primary care office. Luckily they were able to take care of me!
July 15, 2022Tara C.Verified patient
Dr. Ali was very kind, informative, and made me feel at ease. She takes her time with her patients and makes sure all questions are answered and you don’t feel rushed like with other providers. I will definitely be back!
