This Dr is not about patient care. I read reviews before our 1st appt so I went feeling hesitant but no other neurologist could get me in right away after a hospital discharge. The first few appts went ok. The one prior to this week, we sat in the waiting room for over an hour with no notice that they were running behind. I was patient and understanding as I know it happens. This week, Dr. Ali was concerned about lab results from my PCP. He then disagreed with my PCP’s treatment plan, said the PCP’s lab was likely wrong and ... read more

I suffer with debilitating migraines for years. Multiple migraine attacks a months that last for days. Dr. Ali is the first doctor who has shown care and has treated me with dignity. Since being treated by doctor Ali I am getting relief from my migraines. My prescription insurance keeps.pulling this not wanting to cover my migraine meds so Dr.Ali and Twiggy work really hard trying to get me migraine meds approved. Dr.Ali truly does care about his patients and goes above and beyond to help them to get the care that they need.... read more

Dr. Ali misdiagnosed me with a chronic illness nearly two years ago. After many months of suffering, I went to another neurologist who immediately noted that I did not have a chronic illness, and that Dr. Ali missed the actual cause of my symptoms. My new neurologist determined the cause from looking at an MRI Dr. Ali ordered in 2019 and did not take the time to thoroughly examine. Because of him, I suffered very harsh side effects from unnecessary medication I never should have been on in the first place. He does not listen... read more

Short apt, no exam, pushed drugs, not thorough testing via operator, in and out. Relyd on old tests instead of current. Never want to go to again.

Dr Ali is a very good listener. As he talks to you he is a very active listener. he creates a relaxed stress free visit and takes his time with you. Dr Ali is a very compassionate and kind person. A nurse in his ashland office i wish i would of had a similar experience with. i am a large person with large arms. she got out an automated cuff. i asked for a manual large sized cuff. i explained that the automated ones leave bruises, red lines and causes arm and hand pain and numbness for days after. i was not allowed that optio... read more

Dr. Ali has been very attentive during my appointments. He as listened to all of my concerns. He has helped to find treatments for me. He kept trying different treatments for me and hasn't stopped . He is so kind and compassionate. His staff always goes above and beyond. You have to remember that you are not the only patient and that they deal with many patients but they do go to bat with your insurance to help get the recommended treatment for you! My quality of life is improving because of Dr.Ali! He is a blessing. I know ... read more

I have been going to Jefferson neurology since 2018 when I started having seizures. I met Dr Ali once, all other appointments have been with his PA Carla. This place has some of the worst service. I have arrived to my check in time and they have asked me to come back later that afternoon because they over scheduled and were behind. I have arrived at my check in time and then waited 50 minutes to be seen. I have called everyday for over a week and left multiple voicemails because nobody answers, and got no call back. When I f... read more

Dr Ali is acknowledged as a very astute neurologist in this Southern Oregon area. I recently went to him and he ordered mri's done of my total spine and they showed something that needed serious surgical attention. He referred me to the top neurosurgeon[DR. Miroslav Bobek] in the area and i am post-op 2 days and doing well.

We are very likely to recommend Dr. Ali to friends/family. Dr. Ali has a super chairside manner; he is very kind, very competent. Dr. Ali ordered appropriate studies; he called me directly to report results. Dr. Ali's office seems very efficient; he initiated a referral that very day. I was kept in the loop through this office's very good patient portal. Call-backs were same day. Huge shoot out to Dr. Ali's staff!! It is so nice to see a Doctor & staff who really seems to care!
