Haider Ali, MD
Cystic Fibrosis &
Bronchiectasis Specialist
Seeing someone being unable to catch their breath still has a visceral effect on me. If I could help just one person feeling breathless, it would all be worth it.
About Dr. Ali
Haider Ali was born and raised in the United Kingdom. He completed undergraduate and medical education at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He spent time in The Gambia, West Africa caring for patients with tuberculosis and HIV infection. His postgraduate training took him to the University of Liverpool and Imperial College, London where he completed a pulmonary fellowship in West London Hospitals including Charing Cross Hospital, St. George’s Hospital and the Royal Brompton Hospital. He completed an internal medicine residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York before undertaking a pulmonary and critical care fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta. He has been funded by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and continues to be a strong advocate for patients with all forms of bronchiectasis. Outside of work Dr. Ali enjoys soccer, traveling with his family and finding the best ice cream in town.
“It’s about time the spotlight was shone on bronchiectasis and people get the specialist care they deserve. When managed well, people can live full, healthy lives without the inconvenience of hospitalizations. My career aim is to provide a lifetime of support for people with CF and bronchiectasis through patient care, education and advocacy."
