I recently had a biopsy and was treated with the most respect and efficiency. The surgeon was at all times professional and explained the surgery very well.

A very professional first consultation from Dr Ali checked everything and did a minor procedure at the same time. Very friendly informative and helpful session before we go on strip to Asia.
Patient
Professor Ali was very knowledgeable and quickly reassured me that the new moles on my face were harmless. I followed through with a procedure to have them removed which was equally efficient with his caring manner and focus on detail and patient care. Would definitely recommend him.
Patient
Professor Ali is very insightful and has provided fantastic advice and treatment. He answered all questions I asked with precision, and his approachable and friendly manner was much appreciated! He has helped me massively and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking dermatology treatment.
Patient
Overall, my experience with Professor Ali was outstanding. I’m not used to being a patient but Professor Ali quickly put any nerves to rest in championing both a professional and friendly manner. He also offered expert advice I was not able to obtain from other healthcare professionals, ascertained all my ideas, addressed all my concerns and met all my expectations. His communication was stellar, empathy profound and bedside manner was excellent. All in all, Professor Ali is a brilliant doctor and I’m so pleased that I saw him; absolutely my first port of call for any future dermatology complaints!
Patient, Manchester
Thank you Professor Ali for your tremendous skill in performing my MOHS surgery. Your talent and caring manner is a credit to the medical profession. You are truly one in a million!
Patient
I originally was scheduled to have a BCC removed from my scalp and a skin graph done to cover up. However fortunately I went to see Professor Ali and he informed me of the Mohs surgery that not only reduces the need for skin graph and visual appearance is better, it also has a higher success rate of removing the cancer. I googled this also to understand the facts. Professor Ali performed the surgery, for which my family have said the scar is unnoticeable. I am happy for him to share the pictures for others if required. I would also like to add that aside from his skillful procedure, he has a very friendly nature which i think is very important when you are being treated medically to ease any anxieties.
Patient
Great expertise, good manner overall with very good experience
Patient
Dr Ali operated on my husband. The whole experience from initial consultation to early follow up was so very professional. Dr Ali has such a lovely personality and explains everything so very well to both of us and was willing to answer any questions we had, no matter how daft he might of thought them to be and put us both at ease. We would recommend him to anyone, even if you just have a niggling doubt, get Dr Ali to check you out.
Patient
Dr Ali is such a delightful person. He put me at ease straight away and I would recommend him to anyone. Edna
