Everyone at the office during my visit was great other than Dr. Ali. I don’t recommend seeing him because of his lack of care given to me and lack of follow through in my MyChart messages when specifically asking about what imaging results meant and if I should be concerned or make any changes to my care.

I really like Doctor Saleem. He is very pleasant, courteous and funny to work with. He is knowledgeable and includes me in making decisions of my own health instead of just telling me how its gonna be. He is the best cardiologist I have seen in years.
