Ali Ansari, MD

This Dr. didn’t explain the risks of CT scans before ordering a chest, abdomen and pelvis scan for me unnecessarily. There are risks you need to discuss with your patients.
FYI — Ionizing radiation such as that created by radioactive decay or in cosmic rays causes breaks in DNA strands. Low-​level ionizing radiation may induce irreparable DNA damage (leading to replicational and transcriptional errors needed for neoplasia or may trigger viral interactions) leading to pre-​mature aging and cancer.

I didn’t have a Unilocal account. But to recommend this doctor to any one has a breathing Issue. I create one.
I love the staff they are so nice and caring. Angie is a sweet heart. She make you feel so much better by her personality. Dr. Ansari is a miracle. I was coughing for three weeks. My PCP gave me 2 circle of anti biotic. I didn’t get better I was getting worse. Finally he referred me to Dr. Ansari for pulmonary evaluation. He listen to my longs and told me he thinks my right side has a pneumonia but to conform that I need a chest X-​ray.
I done the X-​ray as I left the office. 2 hours later he called me and conformed my right long has a pneumonia.
I will recommend every friend and family to him and definitely will change my PCP.

One star is too much. Lets start with this, My husband was a patient of Dr. Ansari…when he called Ansari’s office regarding pulmonary problems and appointments they would never call back. Moving on, My husband was very sick and having difficulty breathing. His breathing problems were getting worse… coughing, gurgling in the chest and feeling awful. The doctor prescribed two series of steroids and antibiotics. My husband was feeling worse and having difficulty breathing. He called doctors office to question if he had pneumonia. My husband requested chest x-​ray. Tthe x-​ray was done at Cedars (a good decision) and Dr. Ansari was supposed to call with the results. My husband called twice for the results and the doctor never returned his calls. It has now been 2.5 +weeks and Dr. Ansari still has not called with the results or any follow up. Dr. Ansari pushes his sleep studies and seems to focus on that. However, the specialty of pulmonary medicine is all about lungs and efficient breathing, let alone the ability to breath. Of course my husband changed doctors to protect his health and ability to breath. We are still shocked that the doctor or his office staff have never called with test results or follow up. Do not go to this doctor if breathing is important to you.

He is the greatest, caring and most honest doctor u can fined.
Which is very hard to fined this days.
I decided to go to him for second opinion for pulmonary problem that i was dealing for past 2 years. My former doctor had diagnose me wrong and i was taking wrong inhalers and medications for 2 years. After my visit with Dr. Ansari a simple nose spray and a short term medication my cough stops and it’s been 3 months i didn’t cough for even once.
I will recommend to not waist your time and see him of you have any pulmonary issues.
