    I would say there are two positive things that I would say about A, my doctor was extremely talented and qualified. He was very informative. He was very insightful. He clearly was a good doctor. So I was very happy with the experience of how qualified and good he was as a doctor. The other aspect that I think was even more important is that I had an issue where I was referred to him essentially out of an emergency [redacted]. I was able to get an appointment and then when I had contacted him through Patient Gateway, he was responsive and he moved my appointment up, seeing that I wasn't getting any better, that I was still feeling poorly.

Knew everything there was to know from my chart, had really looked into it, had really been paying attention, listened intently, was kind and thoughtful and very knowledgeable and shared so much information, made sure that I understood everything. We were, you know, able to ask questions and did not feel rushed in any way. We felt like very taken care of. I feel super safe in Dr. Aly's hands. I am, you know, not worried at all about the upcoming procedures and I'm very grateful for Dr. Aly and the fact that I had the opportunity to have this appointment. So thank you.

    Dr. Shamji is an outstanding caregiver. His kindness and knowledge upon our first meeting when he performed my colonoscopy prompted me to want to engage him as my gastroenterologist.
