Although it may take over 24 to 48 hours for a response in emails, Dr Ali is always very kind and knowledgeable about my illness.

1. I called two times almost a month before the appointment to get more information on what medical records to bring, both times I had to leave a voice message and I requested a call back. I never received a callback. 2. The letter recd prior to appt gave the instruction to go to 5 floor but it was totally wrong. It was 2nd floor for Neurology appt. Person on that floor said oh yes it's a mix up in computer (?) 3. An MRI of the brain was scheduled, but it could not happen for a month. No explanation was given. I hate to think a hospital could not treated patients that needed an MRI sooner than four weeks. 4. The neurology department second-floor clinic, was very clean. The clinic rooms for Dr. Ali were very clean. Dr. Ali was knowledgeable, listened to the problem, and gave several solutions.

The appointment clerk, the nurse, and Dr. Ali were all some of the most friendly healthcare workers I've ever interacted with. Very, very kind and helpful.

The doctor and the nurse that I spoke to gave me hope of getting out of my wheelchair and walking again.

I was treated very very well! Everyone was very professional and very helpful!! The doctor was familiar with me and my case, we had a great meeting! I felt free to discuss my thoughts and concerns with dr Ali.. the ladies at desk helped me set up my information being forwarded to my PCP at home, and also gave me printed information on my visit, which I appreciated very much! They also gave me information on setting up my portal to medical information!! Me being a older person and not good at enternet procedures I surely appreciated this, I believe I can do it, the instructions are very good and clear! Thanks to UAMS for being so thoughtful in world that sometimes us older folks have a little trouble fitting in and understanding!!
