Ali A. Habib's Online Review Report Card

Should be no Stars. Absolute Arrogant ass Dr , thinks he knows everything but is just outright wrong and gaslights you. Yelled at me during a neurology exam because apparently I wasn't trying enough for him. Typical medical gaslighting. Do NOT see this Dr if you have myasthenia gravis. DO NOT DO IT. He should be removed from the MGFA website.

I'm sure Dr. Habib is a good doctor for some people, but all I got when I visited was arrogance and ego. He pushed back on every idea I had, seemingly because he didn't think of it first. Several times he directly contradicted the literature put out by the MG Foundation (which ironically he's been a speaker for.) He was dismissive, arrogant, and thought he was infallible. I get it, he's a neurologist, and a very highly regarded one, but I think part of the job is to listen to your patients, especially when dealing with something as unique as myasthenia gravis. At one point he told me not to get standard blood tests done that another neurologist (who suspected I had MG) had ordered. His reasoning was, "false positives," and when I pressed him on what he suspected it was, he hemmed and hawed and then said, "uhh i guess MG." Then we got his official notes in the mail and it said, "advised patient that they most likely dont have MG." Ugh.

He is fantastic. I’ve been an undiagnosed for years, thrown into an abyss of specialist who could not figure out what was wrong. Doctors have ignored me, passed me on to other doctors. Dr. Habib listened to me, and explored every avenue until finally began to see a picture. He is unbelievably thorough, respectful and attentive. My experience with him and colleagues at UCI has been great. I was treated ...

My experience with him and colleagues at UCI has been great. I was treated with dignity and empathy. After years of being brushed aside because doctors couldn’t answer the why, it was elating to be heard and considered valuable. UCLA failed, Cedar Sinai failed, and Cleveland Clinic failed. Pretty shocking, really. Thank you Dr. Habib.

He is a best doctor. He is highly skilled and he treats so well..

I liked Dr. Habib because he seemed to care about whatever situation I was in, and he really listened. He also spends as much time with you as you need at your appointments. YES, I would choose Dr. Habib again. He is a wonderful doctor!
