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
Very helpful, professional, friendly and explained everything step by step. Very much inspires confidence and very happy with treatment received.
Patient
I had surgery with Dr Ali in June 2025 and all was undertaken with great care and a fabulous outcome from the surgery. Dr Ali and his team of nurses also were very kind and attentive in ensuring I was comfortable throughout the surgery, and the wider team at the surgery were on hand at all times offering food and beverages to make the day as comfortable as possible.
Patient
I spent a day with Professor Ali and his staff having a procedure to remove skin cancer from my temple. It was removed in stages so as to minimise scarring. A small piece of skin was removed each time, then analysed. This happened 3 times throughout the day until all the cancerous skin had been removed. The wound was then neatly stitched by Professor Ali and I was allowed home. Throughout the whole procedure Professor Ali kept me informed and reassured me of what was happening and answered any questions I had. He is a very pleasant, approachable man as are all the nurses and staff I encountered during my procedure. I would highly recommend him.
