How lucky was I to find this wonderful surgeon. Professor Faisal Ali made what could have been a very stressful episode so much easier for me. He was charming, kind, considerate and extremely skillful. The whole team at DIscover Laser worked seamlessly together and are a true credit to the company. From start to finish first class, thank you.
I was referred to Professor Ali by my GP for further advice on two Solar lentigines (sun spots) on my face. I'm so glad that I went to Professor Ali. He was very warm and welcoming and immediately put me at my ease. He assured me that the two spots were not cancerous, and also checked all my other enlarged freckles and marks, which gave me peace of mind. He advised on a range of treatments for the spots - including on their effectiveness and cost-effectiveness - and was even able to immediately treat the two spots. I came away feeling relieved and happy. I wouldn't hesitate to go to Professor Ali again.
Excellent Care – Highly Recommended I saw Dr Faisal Ali this morning for a dermatology consultation and was once again very impressed with his professionalism and approach to patient care. Dr Ali is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and approachable. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers questions and makes you feel completely at ease throughout the consultation. My wife and I have both been seeing Dr Ali for our annual skin checks, and we have always had complete confidence in his expertise and advice. It is reassuring to be under the care of someone who combines such extensive knowledge with a genuinely caring and personable manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Ali to anyone seeking a highly professional and experienced dermatologist.
Professor Ali is one of the most caring and knowledgeable clinicians you will come across. He has treated my daughter multiple times. Each time with the same high standard of care. His friendly nature puts my daughter at complete ease and removes any worry about the consultations. I would not hesitate to recommend professor Ali, should you need a dermatologist.
Professor Ali saw me at very short notice for which I was very grateful. From the outset, he made me feel at ease with his friendly nature. He examined the problem area, gave a clear explanation of what he thought was the issue and we formulated a plan to clarify his assumption and how to resolve once the assumption is confirmed. A very positive experience and outcome following some consultations with other consultants which have been less so.
