I have been a patient of Dr. Syed Ali for 6 years. Prior to him, I had seen other "highly recommended" psychiatrists for over 10 years. If you are seeking a psychiatric professional who gives his patient the time they need to explain their situation, as well as someone who has the knowledge and deep insights to fully understand how to help you to a path to recovery, THERE IS NO ONE ELSE EVEN CLOSE! Yes, one might have to wait a bit , but that is only because he provides every patient with the time they need. Truly, where does one go today to visit any excellent doctor and not wait for some time beyond their appointment time. When it is your turn, you will be very pleased as you are also being treated with the best there is! To me that is worth the wait, which is by no means excessive. When it comes to your own serious health issues, don't waste years like I did before I found the very best. Call Dr. Ali FIRST, and you won't need anyone else!! LOL this is an UNPAID endorsement. I am in fact PROUD to recommend this wonderful man and renowned practitioner!!

Dr. is a joke. Didn't listen initially wanted to send me to a different psychiatrist then listened. Was answering phone and texts during consultation. Then said I needed hospiatilization because of depression. Didn't agree and then called paramedics while waiting to leave with the police. Said I threatened to kill myself. All in all he wasn't listening and since I didn't think I needed long term hospital care and said no he did this. Went to the hospital and was released within 1 hour. What a joke

Dr. Syed Ali is very knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. Dr. Ali made me feel very comfortable in his office during my entire evaluation. Dr. Ali had even called me on two instances to personally talk with me. Doctor Ali is very busy and runs a little behind, but I recommend the wait is worthwhile.

His wife is my normal psychiatrist, but I have seen him a few times when she was unavailable. In the hospital, I never trusted that it was ME he was prescribing to because he constantly confused me with another patient; I was 20 and she was 11. When I had massively aversive side effects to geodon (wonky vision, massive panic attacks, inability to sleep, hallucinations), he refused to consider reducing it, wanting me to wait it out until I could see his wife (though he was perfectly happy to increase the dose for me on his own). He just gave me sleeping pills, since the lack of sleep was the most critical side effect.

Dr. Ali is a very nice man, but if you care at all about your time, find another doctor. Three appointments in a row, 10 to 20 minutes late every time. When I canceled my final appointment after waiting 15 minutes, he called me and suggested I find another doctor because I valued punctuality and that doesn't work with him. Like I said, very nice, but time is not his strong suit.

Very knowledgeable, responsive and compassionate. He listens. And when you call for an appt (even as a new pt) you can be seen in a couple of days.
