I went to ER Overlake Hospital 5 years ago and I was referred to Dr Ali. I visited Dr Ali only once and she solved my immediate problem and prepared the plan for treating my health issue. But unfortunately I moved out from Bellevue, WA. Thanks You Dr.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • My approach to patient care starts with just education about their disease process and providing them access to trusted materials that they can process and read on their own time. I am not one to force my opinion on patients as to me, our relationship is a partnership where we work together to come up with the best treatment plan for him/her. I value a patient's input and expressing their concerns, time constraints, extenuating circumstances so that we can reach a common goal. 

    I do my best to communicate with patients directly regarding results and next steps in medical and surgical management. I believe that if they have trusted me with their care that is it my duty to provide the best management I can directly to them.
