Biography


Ali Ashraf, MD, is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery, shoulder arthroplasty and the treatment of general orthopedic injuries. He provides comprehensive care for athletes and ... active individuals in Dallas, Rockwall and Forney experiencing shoulder, elbow, hip and knee injuries, helping patients return to the activities they enjoy with less pain and improved function.


Raised in Garland, Texas, Dr. Ashraf earned his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Texas at Austin before attending Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. Following medical school, he completed a year of orthopedic research at the prestigious Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, before returning to Texas Tech for orthopedic surgery residency training. During residency, he was recognized as Resident of the Month, Safe Surgeon of the Month, and served as Chief Resident.

Dr. Ashraf completed advanced fellowship training in orthopedic sports medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital, where he gained extensive experience in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery and reconstructive procedures of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle. During his fellowship, he cared for high school and collegiate athletes, participated in athlete evaluations at the NFL Combine, and contributed to the care of professional athletes with the New York Jets and New York Islanders.

His clinical interests include sports-related injuries, shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears, labral tears, cartilage injuries, ligament injuries, meniscus tears, shoulder arthritis and advanced shoulder reconstruction procedures. Dr. Ashraf utilizes both surgical and non-surgical treatment options, including arthroscopic and minimally invasive techniques, to help patients restore mobility, reduce pain and return to their desired level of activity.

In his free time, he likes to spend time with his family and friends, watch the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns, and discover new places to eat in the metroplex.

Our extensive network offers specialized care for every part of the body, with convenient access through more than 30 locations.

Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Ali Ashraf receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding five stars. Patients consistently praise his thoroughness, knowledge, and ability to explain conditions and treatment options in clear, understandable terms. Many reviewers highlight his attentive listening skills, noting that he maintains eye contact, doesn't rush through appointments, and genuinely considers patient input when making treatment decisions. Numerous reviews specifically commend his conservative approach to care, noting he explores options like physical therapy before recommending surgery, and several patients praised his surgical skill and successful outcomes for conditions like rotator cuff repairs, fractures, and knee issues. His bedside manner, professionalism, and friendly demeanor are frequently mentioned, along with efficient scheduling that minimizes wait times.

Patients also share

While the vast majority of feedback is positive, a small number of reviews raised concerns. A few patients felt rushed during appointments, with one noting a visit lasted only six minutes and another describing him as hurried or seemingly disinterested when explaining their condition. Two separate reviews described negative interpersonal experiences—one patient felt he was dismissive and not listening, while another felt belittled during their visit. These critical reviews appear to be isolated instances rather than a pattern, as they represent a small fraction of the overall feedback.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
