      Dr. Ali changed my life. I had lived 20 years of increasing misery with restless legs. I sought help from physician after physician always having to start from square one never feeling heard, until I felt increasingly suicidal. With a plan. I had to wait a long time for an appt with neurology. I tried acupuncture and the suicidal ideation became worse. My husband took me to the ER because I wanted to stab my legs and bleed out on the kitchen floor. I went through the whole suicidal protocol and surprisingly I was heard by a medical student and then a resident. A week later, I saw Dr. Ali. I was armed with the latest research for rls. I told him my story. And he HEARD me. Not so his supervisor who asked me if I had tried warm baths. The researched treatment modalities were not available to me but he found one and although there were a few roadblocks, he managed them, and here I am, 4-5 years later with my restless legs under control, and my life handed back to me. I adore Dr. Ali. I am intensely grateful. Being heard is critical. It is the first step in problem solving. With rls under control and strategies to keep it at bay, I have a life.

      When you have a doctor that shows care, empathy and kindness, it's easy to refer him to others. His acknowledgement of my disorder is new so we both are learning but he gave me avenues that can help me and he explained everything to me.
