      As I previously stated, Dr. Tarek Ali CANNOT be beat. I have previously seen 3 neurologists and he was the FIRST to actually personally examine me and run specific tests to find out what condition I actually have--AND THEN he called me to follow up and adjust the medication. He is awesome and personable!

      Incredibly surprised and pleased with how well Dr Ali listened, explained and took so much time with us. Never had such a positive experience before with a physician. I thought either because he as not from USA or this was a special experiment in patient care UK was doing must be the reason. Please don't stop!! He made us feel so supported, cared about and in very good hands!!

      I am 76. I am a retired APRN. I have had years of me doctor, you patient treatment. I have RLS. It is not life threatening but it has greatly affected my quality of life. I came armed with research and my husband's support and backing to my first appointment with Dr. Ali when he was a fellow. He was interested in me as a person, intrigued by the research I had, and willing to work with me. John and I were blown away! I am on Methadone 5 mg at night with Mirapex 1 gm at night. My RLS is in good control. Monday's visit addressed the swelling in my legs and the numbness in my feet. The Resident and Medical Student worked together at history taking and a thorough neuro exam. I had been told before at another Neurology Clinic that I do not have neuropathy. Dr. Ali used a tuning fork and I have a significant polyneuropathy. I am to get further labs. And I have agreed to start weaning Mirapex very slowly. I have an excellent relationship with Dr. Ali and know that he will respond to any messages I send. My PCP has Dr. Ali at the top of her Neurologist referral list.

      I was very impressed. I have been to other restless leg syndrome doctors but he was the best. Never had an exam like he done. He had me doing different things. Best exam I have had. He talked to me about medicines and seemed to be concerned trying to help me.
