Chest Surgery
Chest Surgery in Westminster, Maryland
Surgery of the chest may be needed to establish a diagnosis or remove diseased structures. These may be in the wall of the chest (ribs, muscles, etc.) or in the contents of the chest cavity (lungs, esophagus, thymus, mediastinal lymph nodes, etc.). Lung cancer can be removed through minimally invasive procedures. Esophageal cancer can be removed by resecting a part of the esophagus (the food pipe) and replacing it with a section of the stomach.

About Their Treatment Experience
Dr Ali took care of the veins in my legs with confidence. I felt she was caring and truly an expert in her field. And I have been to other doctors so I can compare, Dr Ali is who I refer my friends.

Dr. Ali performed radiofrequency ablation on both of my legs. I highly recommend Dr Ali. She is knowledgeable and answers questions so you can understand. She takes her time to get to know you and your problem.

I met Dr. Ali in June 2019. She was seeing me as a result of my PA suspecting a problem with my right Carotid Artery. Dr. Ali discovered my left Carotid Artery had withered away, and my right one was 80% blocked. She made special evening schedule arrangements so that my wife and I could see her ASAP. She spent a long time that evening explaining everything about my condition, her surgery solution and any and all questions we had. I never had a physician take that kind of time to help us understand my situation. She scheduled surgery for two weeks from our visit.
Over the years, Dr. Ali has faithfully followed up on my vascular health and consulted with me on issues related to various major surgeries I’ve had. Her care for her patients and her standards of care and her knowledge I believe are far from the norm based on my many experiences since that June evening in 2019.
Additionally, her staff and tech staff reflect her values and standards. We in Carroll County should count ourselves very fortunate to have Dr. Ali.
