Vivian
I had an aneurysm and Dr. Ali + his team were assigned to do the brain surgery to put in a stent and a drain. For 21 days, I stayed under Dr. Ali and HMH's neurosurgery team care - I am alive today because of them.

Dr. Ali is a knowledgeable, professional, kind, compassionate, and also extremely funny person. So is his amazing team, especially Noah. They made the tough time at the hospital a lot easier.

Dr. Ali and his team are the kind of doctors you trust because they really have their patients' best interest first. I had full confidence in their knowledge and they were so patient answering all questions my family and I had. No matter how busy they were, they made time to walk us through the processes, what's happening next, how it's going to happen, and what to expect.

I'm extremely thankful for everything Dr. Ali and team did during and after my stay.

a G.
I went to Dr. M. Khan for a 2nd opinion after a failed fusion done by another surgeon from another practice. I was living in constant nerve and musculoskeletal pain that was worse than before the failed surgery. I met with Dr. Khan and he sat with me and explained what was wrong and what my options were. He made sure I understood everything he was explaining. I trusted Dr. Khan and put my life in his hands and he did the revision for me (fixed what the other doctor did wrong). I can’t thank him enough for helping me. I was very fortunate because not many doctors want to fix another doctors mistake. Thank you so much Dr. Khan. I owe you and your team the world. All of the staff were very helpful throughout the whole process. Thank you thank you thank you 🙏

Dr. Ali and his staff are very professional, Yenissa and Barbara are always aware of everything before and after the procedure and Dr. Ali is always attentive in his consultations, explaining in detail and answering all the questions that one has, without a doubt the best, he is an expert in what he does.

I recently had a Angiogram to the brain and a follow up. Dr. Aryan Ali helped myself and my family navigate through this difficult experience, and for that I am very grateful. He made me feel very confident that everything was going to be ok. I'd like to share what I said to Dr. Ali after receiving the results of the second procedure. "Dr. Ali, you are marvelous." Thank you to all his staff who also assisted in the preparation to both procedures.

Dr. Walzman's expertise made all the difference in my mothers life. Having suddenly suffered a stroke, his prompt response and experienced management at a critical time is the reason she is recovering without any visible sign of impairement. We are forever grateful.

Dr. Kaptain and his team made me feel safe and important from the moment they met me. I’ve never felt so comfortable and confident about a doctor’s ability and knowledge to take care of me. I have been blessed to have been taken care by him.
