Omar Ali's Online Review Report Card

This man believes in cardiac interventional procedures without conscious sedation or, at the very least, having his patient feel relaxed, comfortable and PAIN FREE during such procedure. Ali was assigned to perform my heart catheterization. As soon as I got in the procedure room and was moved onto the table, I told the nurses and assistants that I did not want to suffer in pain and requested conscious sedation or at least something to relax me. Within minutes, Ali appeared and rubbed a little lidocaine on my groin and began ramming the catheter inside my arteries, through my body and into my heart which has a valve inside a valve inside valve with metal cages. Multiple times, I screamed and cried out in pain, begging for him to stop. He would just say "calm down and that it didn't hurt." He just proceeded to ask the assistants for different size catheters and rammed each of those into my unmedicated body. This went on for 2 hours and 10 minutes when Ali finally said "Okay, lets quit. We've put this young lady through enough." It was 2 hours and 10 minutes of the worst horrifying and painful hellish experience of my life! I will never recommend him to anybody nor will I ever allow him to play any sort of role in any of my cardiac care.

He is very incompetent to put it mildly. Find out yourself if you dare. My Opinion

I have been unfortunate enough to have two serious heart issues and on both occasions Dr Ali has been able to provide excellent top quality care. Dr Ali takes the time to explain fully what the issues are and how he plans to treat them, with detailed follow up information after surgery. It is important to note that the staff both in the surgical suite and on the ward all speak highly of him and relate anecdotes of how he takes time to answer their questions, use diagrams and videos to fully explain things to them. My first incident required me to quickly find a cardiologist and rely upon a referral, however on the second incident I made sure to request Dr Ali again. It's also worth pointing out that Dr Ali has an excellent dry sense of humor which helps destress what could be quite tense times. Highly recommended.

really good and afordable doctor,

I have seen Dr. Ali for several years. I feel very confident with him...he takes time with you-explains things well. I see him yearly, but had a problem recently, and his office got me in immediately. His staff is very nice & courteous. I would highly recomend him.

He explains in detail and answer all questions. He practices at children hospital of Wisconsin. Like him but not the set up at children hospital. Each appointment takes at least an hour as first you meet a nurse then nutritionist, then another nurse and finally doctor. Hospital over bill you for services as clinic is attached to the hospital and they bill you for facility charges etc.
