"Dr. Ali performed spinal infusion. My biggest complaint was upper leg pain causing a limp, secondary complaint was lower back pain. After 2-1/2 years my leg pain got worse. I kept being told that some nerves needed time to rejuvenate and to do more rehab. I went to a Neurologist and asked him to do an EEG on my legs to test any nerve damage. That test was normal. I then made appointment with Dr. Resin and asked him to order another MRI to see if anything else was going on. He ordered and I was told to see Dr. Ali for results. After waiting 1 hour, a gal came in and said Dr. Ali wants x-days. I said why do I need X-rays when I have an MRI (so obviously he didn’t look at my chart outside door). He then sent in Physician Assistant who reviewed MRI and said nothing changed. He moved me around to see where pain was and he thought it was my hips. First of all, when I kept coming to office with leg complaints and the last visit asking DR. Resin for MRI; my hips should have been x-rayed. ...
Both Resin and Ali with all their education should have caught this over a year ago! I went to Duly in Naperville and an experienced surgeon took x-rays of my hip and found I was walking with Bone on Bone in Left hip. I’m going through a hip replacement soon and happy to finally get a correct diagnosis. People with Orthopedic problems are usually elderly and do not want to travel far. I urge everyone to take the drive out of Morris with limited choice for good Orthopedic care, or have a family member drive you out of Grundy County after you do research and decide where to go. "

"I have found nothing but satisfaction from Dr Ali and his team. I suffered for many years with leg and neck pain especially since 2011 when I went to Mayo Rehab Clinic to cease taking opioids that doctors in Des Moines had over prescribed Mayo said there was nothing that could be done recently when my legs gave out on me and I fell hard to both knees. They advised me to start using a cane, progress to a walker and then wheelchair, also follow the principles taught at rehab like breathing through it. I am 60 years old, in good shape and my parents lived into their 90s. I wasn’t going to give up finding help. My son was doing his podiatry residency at Rezin and told me about Dr. Ali. My problems amounted to more than what I could breathe through. Dr Ali had studied at Mayo and was aware of what I described as my situation. He gathered the necessary data and explained to me what he would need to do to help me. In Nov 2019 I had three neck fusions and Feb 2020 three lumbar fusions. ...
He continues to keep a close eye on my progress and I can say I have had much improvement. My neck pain which included making my jaws ache and shoulders crawl was relieved almost immediately after surgery. My leg pain is much better. He only wishes he could have done the surgery years ago. I agree Dr Ali explains clearly what will be happening and answers questions throughly. The office staff, Marcy, Lucus and every member of his team do the very best they can to please me. I live in Iowa and travel 4.5 hours to see Dr. Ali and his group. Time well invested. "
