"Dr. Ali is a terrible doctor. She has no bedside manner, rude, no personality, and above all she doesn’t care about her patients. No sense filling out medical forms because she doesn’t look at them. We were told to take pictures of my wife’s legs that had a bad rash and were severely swollen. Our primary doctor put her on steroids and it cleared the problem. (it may return. No one knows). So we made an appt. with Dr.Al iand she didn’t want to even look at the pictures we were told to take. She told us if it comes back to go see a different doctor. After that it was bye and pay at the front desk. If you go here to see her just go in and don’t fill out any forms because she doesn’t look at your medical history. Pay your co-pay and just leave. No sense going in and have her do her job. Just pay and leave. You will be better off."

"I was referred to Dr. Ali Shabnam by my friend who relocated to Maryland from California, and who was also referred to Dr. Shabnam by her Doctors in California. He spoke highly of Dr. Shabnam. I was suffering from severe pain from a botched Hip Replacement Surgery that sent the pain from my hip to my left knee. Ignorant of medical diagnosis, I was convinced that the pain on my knee was an onset of Arthritis. I therefore when to see Dr. Ali. When she observed my swollen hip and knee, she requested an x-ray of my hip and knee. Reading the X-ray results she informed me that the knee pain was not from arthritis, but more than likely from my hip. She sent me back to the doctor who preformed my surgery and requested that the doctor performs an aspiration of the fluid in my swollen hip. My surgeon did not perform the aspiration and when I informed Dr. Ali, she sent me back with a note from her to the surgeon reiterating her request. When I met my surgeon the second time and he still showed ...
doubt after reading Dr. Ali's note, I asked him to call Dr. Ali. When he called Dr. Ali, I could overhear Dr. Ali's insistance over the phone and I overheard her saying how it was important to eliminate the possibility of an infection. That was the first time I became aware that the swelling may be the result of an infection. As the surgeon still refused to perform the aspiration, I went to see a different Orthopedic surgeon. The first things this new surgeon informed me was a repeat of what Dr. Ali had informed me: 1. The surgeon told me that he was going to do an aspiration before performing a revision of my hip replacement surgery. 2. He confirmed what Dr. Ali had told me that my knee pain was not from arthritis but more likely from my limping resulting from my dislodged prosthetics. And behold, after the fluid aspiration was performed by the second surgeon, it showed that there was coloration of the fluid from my hip indicating the onset of infection, just as Dr. Ali had feared. My second Surgeon, Dr. Ebert of Medstar Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, an extraordinary physician - who I now call Dr. Fix-it, with my consent scheduled me for a revision of my hip replacement surgery. It has been two months since my surgery was performed, and it is almost a miracle. With post surgical physical therapy, I am no longer walking with a cane to support me, and the knee pain is gone. Without the guidance of Dr. Ali, I would not have regained my health. Dr. Ali did not only show an elevated level of care for me as her patient, but also her experience in her profession as a physician. Without her, I may still be living in pain and limping. I will advise anyone with Arthritic pain or pain in general to start first with Dr. Ali. She will definitely guide you to what should be done to take care of you. Thank you Dr. Ali for all the attention you gave me on the way to my recovery. "
