The woman who works at the front desk took my 17 month old sons temperature and jabbed him pretty badly in his armpit, he cried a lot after, and said that his temperature was fine. I saw Dr. Tahmeena Ali, she took his temperature which was 39.8C and said it would be around 101F which is what we told her it was when we took it, turns out it was 103.8 so 2 degrees off, she looked in his ears, and said he didn't have an ear infection. She then sent us to emergency and they looked in and diagnosed it right away and they were surprised she didn't notice. Her personality was nice, but I'm not happy that she couldn't diagnose a simple ear infection and didn't know how to estimate temperature conversion and that the other woman had no idea how to take a temperature.

Efficient and helpful! She doesn’t hesitate to give you more info if you are uncertain about a treatment.

Dr Ali is the most personable Dr I have ever met. She actually cares not only for the health of her patients but their lives as well. She knows the highschool I went to, names of my close friends and my hobbies and interests. She incourages natural and healthy fixes often prior to any medication as it’s typically a better option in the long run.

I have had an excellent experience with Dr. Ali. I know how hard it is to accommodate with urgency but whenever I call I get in with Dr. Ali. Some patients resort to walk-in’s without even calling her office to see if they can get in to see her same day. When signing up with Dr. Ali she mentioned she works 2 days so it was not a surprise and i am sure she tells her patients in advance. People are too sensitive these days. You are NOT rating this doctor on her work ethic but personality which by the way is lovely. She is human and may have a bad day but she tells it like it is and if you can’t handle that get another doctor so that patients who actually want to see her can.

Dr. Ali is awesome. She listens, is very thorough and respectful. I have gone to her for 3 years and now my daughter and husband have switched to her and equally think she is awesome. We feel very fortunate to have found such a great professional.

Agree with a lot of the people that have had bad experiences with dr Ali. In the beginning she was very nice, helpful and seemed knowledgeable however as soon as you see a different doctor due to her lack of availability she comes across as very cold rude and unhelpful, makes you feel stupid for the visit and pretty much tells you that you are wasting her time!
I feel she can be a good doctor to those she chooses to be, at the same time can be extremely rude and moody, glad I don’t take my family to her anymore and happy to know she’s no longer at south Surrey medical centre.
