When you see someone you want them to really help you change. Dr. Shah knows how to prescribe the right Ayurveda treatment. Due to her I now sleep all night, my stomach is not bloated and my energy is wonderful. My friend lost 25 pounds, got off her skin medicines, experienced a calm and "working" stomach. Dr. Shah is a miracle Ayurveda practitioner and very empathetic.

I have recently begun receiving care at Zanjabee Integrative Medicine. The care and attention I have received has been personal, sensitive and motivational.

Six years ago we moved to the Boston area. My husband and I had excellent medical care in our last home location and we were hoping to find the same with our move to metro west Boston. We saw 3 different physicians in different practices whom came recommended to us but were very disappointing - this took a lot of time. Dr. Basmaa Ali also came highly recommended, so was our 4th doc to try. We are so happy with her care that we've recommended her to many others searching for the right doctor. What we were searching for and found with Dr. Ali and her practice: She takes time to listen (she sits and is actively listening). She wants to understand us as a whole people, all aspects of our health and wellbeing. She explains with lay-person terms but treats us as intelligent people who deserve to know her thinking process regarding our care. She is warm and personable, we are extremely comfortable in her presence. She has a great staff - it took her a while to find the right people but she found very competent people with great bedside care. She has complimentary colleagues to support our care right in her practice. I particularly love Dr. Shah. Finding the right doctor has taken worry off of my plate because I know I don't have to manage my health alone and I truly trust Dr. Alis' care and intentions.

***** I sought a change in my medical care when my last physician never mentioned diet or exercise as helpful approaches towards improved overall health and longevity: instead, medications were recommended. Dr. Ali has been fabulous since day 1, now over a year ago. At my first visit, she told me that we had to work as a team if I was to be her patient: I have never been told that before by a physician. We have always discussed my health and approaches to treatment in as much detail and depth as I desired. This was very helpful, respectful, and also let me know that she is open to different approaches and on top of current literature. In short, I quickly learned that I could trust her judgment, that she understood my personal characteristics, and that, indeed, she embraced the team approach. I suspect that all will have a similar experience. This is by far the best experience and care that I have had! As I write this, I see the picture of the office and feel that commenting on the pleasant atmosphere is also important. Staff and the environment are welcoming.

I am so happy to have found Dr. Ali! She is an amazing practitioner who is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I love that she practices Ayurvedic medicine. She is able to treat patients with alternative solutions rather than medications, when possible. I have referred numerous people to her practice, and they have all been very happy.

Although I've moved to TX, each time I go back "home", I see Suwanna! She truly cares about her clients and her massage is second to none! I've always loved the personal service I receive at Zanjabee. They know me by name and always make me feel more than a "patient".

Everyone is very friendly and Dr. Ali is fantastic. I've sent several friends and family members to Zanjabee and will continue to do so. My questions are always answered and I always feel like I'm in good hands.

I'm very happy to have found Dr. Shah. She is a thoughtful and Knowledgable practitioner. I was followed by Dr. Shah during an 11 day cleanse. I was interested in the cleanse to alleviate symptoms of menopause. The cleanse itself was gentle and easy to follow. Dr. Shah provided support through out. I have done cleanses in the past and this was by far the easiest to follow and i was delighted to have feedback and support during the process. The process of the cleanse helped to alleviate hot flashes and other symptoms i was having, such as waking during the night. My son has also been seeing Dr. Shah for the pas 6 months for skin issues, with great success. I will continue to seek her help as a practitioner as needed and would highly recommend her services

I appreciate that Dr. Ali is accessible and takes time to understand my concerns and needs. She has consistently treated me with compassion and professionalism. I appreciate an integrative approach to the practice of medicine and I do feel that my interactions with Dr Ali have been empowering.

I find Dr Ali to be thoughtful, focused, and absolutely unrushed when I meet with her. I know she is thinking about me in a refreshingly holistic way that is nicely balanced with both Western medical beliefs (Harvard Medical) as well as Eastern philosophies (Ayurvedic principals). Year over year now, she has provided me with top notch care as my PCP.

My experience with dr Ali at Zanjabee intergrative was great. I really appreciate doctors that give you good natural and medical advice, so you get the best of both worlds. I appreciate the time and effort she takes with me to explain certain things. I recommend her to family and friends.

The office staff is friendly and helpful. Dr. Ali takes the time to listen to my concerns and discuss what will be best for me as an individual. She also considers the development/wellness of the whole person. One area that could be improved - I don't find the patient portal completely user-friendly. When I log in I get one long list of past diagnoses, appointments, medications, etc. I don't know if this is within the control of Zanjabee, but I feel that that layout could be better organized.

Switching to Zanjabee Integrative Medicine when I did several years ago was one of the best decisions I made when it came of taking care of me. I was referred to Dr. Ali by a close friend of mine and I am very thankful. Dr. Ali and her staff have been phenomenal and I am confident that I am receiving not only the best level of care, but I am also obtaining the best level of personal care. From the physical space of Zanjabee to the personal care I receive there, I am very happy to be a patient there!!!

I've been very happy with my experience at Zanjabee and with Dr. Ali. Dr. Ali takes the time to answer all of my questions and to address all of my health issues, regardless of how seemingly minor they may be. This is so important to me, because I've had the experience in the past of doctors being dismissive of particular concerns I've raised. Dr. Ali never makes me feel like I'm wasting her time.

I like the way Dr. Ali starts with New Patients. She is very kind and tries to understand your current medications, diet or your daily exercise levels as well as if you have any concerns/problems specific to your health. So along with your lab test results and all your day to day habits, she gave you the nice suggesstions about diet or exercise and address the core issues that you should focus on. And one thing to mention is, suggested diet or exercise is something like you can manage it easily and don't have to do any extraordinary things, whcih makes it comfortable to follow it on daily basis.

Dr. Ali is the most compassionate, caring doctor I have ever had. I never feel that my appointment is rushed or that any of my concerns are frivolous or not worthy of her time. Her staff are pleasant and kind and always know me by name when I walk through the door. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I just love Zanjabee Integrative Medicine. It's what I have been looking for in a medical office for a long time. The staff is very pleasant and the doctors are very good. They take their time with you. They not only help you with your ailments, they give you information on prevention, which is what a doctors office should be all about. Most doctors wait until you are sick to treat you, but Zanjabee has many opportunities to help keep you well too.

I had been struggling with a mysterious chronic illness for over a year before seeing Dr. Ali. Physicians, specialists and naturopaths had been unable to help me. Within two weeks, Dr. Ali had me feeling better. I'm eternally grateful.

Zanjabee Integrative Medicine is our savior in this modern world of medicine. My husband Bob and I decided to find a new primary doctor after we each had terrible experiences with other offices including misdiagnosis, offices failing to inform us of test results and remaining unresponsive to our inquiries, doctors dismissive of our health concerns/observations, over use of prescriptions, and lack of knowledge about treatment beyond pharmaceutical drugs. We were tired of the office visit where you’re pushed out the door with a script without being heard and hardly any other recommendations. When we researched what new type of medical care we wanted, we quickly became weary of the doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) who in no way practiced the holistic or hands-on medicine their title denotes and the new age medical offices offering more balanced holistic care at a crazy inflated price tag no insurance company would even come near. Zanjabee utilizes alternative and eastern medicine without discarding the benefits of contemporary biomedicine. They work with many insurance carriers and their pricing is competitive. Dr. Basmaa Ali is a responsive, intelligent, well-informed M.D. For the first time in our recent medical history, my husband and I have been heard and provided with thoughtful solutions. Zanjabee focuses on optimizing and maintaining health rather than fixing you when you’re sick. And when you do get sick, they look to treat the causes and issues of the sickness rather than solely masking it with an antibiotic or pain med. I was happily surprised with Dr. Ali’s knowledge and patient involvement at our very first visit. We discussed some inflammation Bob was experiencing with his arm and I asked about treating with turmeric as I’ve read it has powerful ant-inflammatory properties. As I cowered anticipating the squinty-eyed look of disbelief other doctors typically display at this point, Dr. Ali jumped into an explanation about how turmeric works well as an anti-inflammatory, describing the pathways on which it operates and ways to use it more effectively. She continued to list two more possible solutions giving us just as much information. Then she asked what we wanted to do. I was floored. Not only did she actually know of a non-pharmaceutical remedy, but Dr. Ali provided multiple options with all the knowledge needed to make a well informed choice and she listened. Over the last months, the team at Zanjabee promptly updates us of test results, reviews any medical questions we have and has even called on occasion after a visit or phone call to make sure symptoms cleared up. We are extremely happy with the level of care and comprehensive knowledge at Zanjabee Integrative Medicine. I am no longer my only health advocate in a system not focused on my health. I no longer have to research and provide my own answers begging doctors to listen. I am now a happy participant in my health and well-being with a supportive medical team at Zanjabee. I am sincerely grateful for Dr. Ali and Zanjabee Integrateive Medicine and highly recommend them to anyone.

My experience with Zanjabee Integrative Medicine has been exceptional! Dr. Shah is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me get back on the right path to a living a well balanced life. I was able to easily incorporate a few healthy changes Dr. Shah suggested based on my initial intake, and those few changes made all the difference to alleviate my stress levels immensely. I highly recommend Dr. Shah and the rest of the team at Zanjabee!

Dear Dr. Ali and Staff of Zanjabee, Words cannot express my gratitude about the service and treatment I receive when I am at Dr. Ali's office. Dr. Ali has been phenomenal with me and I always feel confident leaving her office and knowing that I can reach my well being goals. I can remember the first time I met with Dr. Ali, and I can honestly say, "I was a mess", emotionally, physically and mentally. However, I find it a blessing to have been in the medical care of Dr. Ali because going to her office has felt very different for me and it has a made a tremendous difference in my life. By that I mean, before going to Zanjabee I was going to a regular physician and felt that I was receiving regular care. This has not been the case by going to see Dr. Ali because she really truly cares about her patients and she is constantly following up to ensure I am doing what I am supposed to be doing in order to be well. I am very thankful I switched to Zanjabee and I recommend Dr. Ali to everyone I know because it has made such a difference in my life; physically, emotionally and mentally.

I first learned about Zanjabee when they opened up their office a floor above my work. There was a yoga class, and due to the location, I decided to try it! It was great! I've been on their newsletter since then, and saw an email about the Ayurvedic services offered and decided to check that out. So glad I did! The staff at Zanjabee is so welcoming and knowledgable. I would recommend anyone to check out their services!

I have been very impressed by and pleased with the care I've received at Zanjabee. I find Dr. Ali to be compassionate, knowledgable, and open to any questions or concerns I may have. In addition, I have never felt rushed through my appointments. The same can be said of my treatment with both Aleve and Natalia. I have found the office staff to be friendly and responsive. I am very happy to have finally found a doctor who is truly integrative and who shows such care for her patients.
