    Dr. Ali is the BEST. He has been my oncologist since I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in2016. It is because of him that I am alive today. He is kind, compassionate, extremely intelligent. He is up to date about the latest research and treatments for multiple myeloma. He is conservative and I believe he only uses treatments and medications when they have been proven to help his patients.

I have a serious illness but have received outstanding care, so much so that I am thriving. This month for first time ever every single parameter in my complete blood count (some 20 different parameters) has been within the normal range. Thanks Dr. Ali!!

    I have been seeing Dr. Ali as a myeloma specialist for the two years since we moved to Delaware from New York. He and his NP, [staff] are excellent. So are the infusion nurses. The only reason I gave the tech who went over my meds slightly less than top marks is because I had to ask her to repeat things a couple of times because of her accent. No big deal.

    I had more than a two hour wait for my appointment with this doctor. I had to continually ask when he would be taking me. I kept being told soon. My appointment was short as I'm sure the doctor was trying to make up time since he was so far behind. His only explanation was that someone else had arrived an hour late for their appointment which backed everything up.
