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
Professor Ali’s relaxed but professional manner was perfect for inspiring confidence. He explained clearly the risks and benefits of each stage of the procedure. I am very satisfied with the outcome.
Patient
Professor Ali was extremely friendly and understanding from the off, he let me explain how I felt about my skin and how it had been affecting me day to day. He gave me good options for my treatment and explained them all really well so I knew what to expect. I felt really comfortable throughout my appointments. I would definitely recommend Professor Ali 100%.
Patient, Manchester
I’m always impressed by Dr Ali’s courtesy, professionalism and willingness to both listen, and answer any questions I have.
Patient
I didn’t actually have anyone suggest Professor Ali to me, however chose to see him based on his impressive credentials…I’m so glad I did.
The professional and personal approach to the consultation was fantastic and didn’t feel rushed as I had felt in the past with other clinicians.
The treatment plan was clear and so far very successful.
Would highly recommend.
MM, Manchester
Professor Ali was very approachable and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable discussing my issues and left my appointment satisfied with the service I received.
Patient, Cheshire
In July 2022 Dr Ali diagnosed a Right Nasal Ala Basel Cell Carcinoma which had started out as a small mole, but had now grown a lot larger and had started to bleed. The NHS waiting time was twelve weeks but Dr Ali saw me in a week at The Spire Regency Hospital in Macclesfield. On 13 August I had the Mohs Micrographical Surgery and a skin graph from my right shoulder to aid the recovery at Discover Laser Clinic at Burnley. A week later Doctor Ali changed the dressing at the Spire Hospital in Manchester.
It is now six months later and all I have to show for the surgery are two tiny scars. I would like to thank Doctor Ali and his team for their excellent, kind and considerate care, and wish them all the best in the future
Patient
I recently had a small operation conducted by Professor Ali, he was first class in every way. I was really pleased with the way I was treated whilst in his care and also over the moon with the result of the operation. Brilliant.
NC, Patient
Our patient experience and care has been so positive and to a truly excellent standard. I am so proud of the care provided by Dr Ali, your Dermatology service and the NHS here.
The ability to access Dr Ali’s expertise both from a condition and a paediatric perspective in my local community practise setting is a fantastic, to have access to this focused specialised support and have it in in my community is excellent, this enables us to manage my daughters condition / flare ups more promptly and easier.
Dr Ali took the time to thoroughly examine my her health and care journey, both from a medication and impact on her well being perspective, I found this so helpful and supportive. He thoroughly listened to both myself and my daughter in a caring and respectful way and understood the impact the condition has had on her daily life.
The treatment plan evaluated and provided by Dr Ali has improved by daughters condition significantly, and her daily life
