Dr Ali put a pace maker in me. He is very good doctor. Never had any problem with him at all. He is a caring doctor who knows what to do. He helped me with my heart that may have saved my life.

This is a continuation of the previous complaint..I have come to learn that Dr. Ali is NOT certified in Stents. I am horrified to think that he performed a Heart Catheter on me and was sure that I had a blocked artery knowing all the while that IF I did have a blocked artery there was NOTHING he was going to do about it because he couldn't. I have been in touch with The Florida Hospital Risk management department and they are launching a full investigation.MORE to come on this Dr. as details become available.
This Dr. Diagnosed me with Coronary Artery Disease. He NEVER took any blood work, and insisted on doing a Heart Catheterization. Telling me that he was Positive that I had a blocked artery. Prescribed medication to me prior to the surgery without ever looking at my labs..It later was found out that I had no Blocked anything, my heart is in great shape, and that all the symptoms that I was having including an abnormal T wave were from a Dangerously low Potassium level. Dr. Ali violated HIPPAA by talking to two people that he never met before in the hallway of a hospital that I have never been to prior to the Heart Cath.. (That he did in violation of medical procedures).This is NOT the first time he has done this I have been intouch with a friend of a friend that he did the same thing to , and apologized after saying "sorry about that, I really thought you had a blocked artery", "My Fault" Keep in mind that after the procedure he NEVER came back in to see me..
I went to the ER at South Lake Hospital with chest pain and got this Dr. I had two tests that were mildly abnormal and he wanted to do a cardiac cath. When asked why I needed an invasive procedure, he answer was that these two tests are abnormal. He couldn't explain WHY they were abnormal, he only wanted to schedule the procedure immediately. I got a second opinion right aware the the new cardiologist couldn't understand why this guy wanted to do the cath. It was totally unnecessary and he explained all the tests to me. Seems to me the real object was just to bill for a costly procedure, necessary or not. I would never go back to this Dr.
