    In Houston, Methodist Hospital is my choice, hands down!
  • Sep 5, 2026

    Dr. Ali is a doctor I have recommended already
  • Sep 2, 2026
    Dr. Ali is very thorough. While I was requesting a right knee replacement, he asked if I had tried any shots in the knee as an option. I explained that I wanted the right knee to match the left knee (straightened and even) and he acknowledged that knee replacement was the best option and that he would need to use the robot. He always asks my opinion.
  • Aug 21, 2026
    This was my first visit, and I found Dr. Ali to be empathetic and compassionate regarding my pain issues. He looked at me and listened to my concerns with 100 percent of his attention, which Is rare these days. He ordered X-rays and shared results with me. After a brief exam, he then offered me solutions with a suggested treatment plan to correct my current health problems and help me find relief for my pain. I felt heard and not rushed and feel confident that he will be able to help me. I'm looking forward to my surgery.
