I liked that dr Ali did not jump straight to weight loss medication. He listened to my expressed need to optimize my diet and exercise and gave me thorough explanations for things that can help.

I really appreciated Dr Ali's willingness to listen to my concerns about my weight. He was very respectful and encouraging. He also laid out different options for me to try, including medications and non-medication treatments, and described the risks and benefits to each very clearly. I liked that he allowed me to make an informed decision about what I wanted to try.
