Dr.
Vali is Board Certified in Family Medicine. She completed her US residency
training at Duke University Medical Center. Prior to coming to the US,
she also worked in England and India. During her formative years, she
worked with mentors with expertise in Geriatrics, Ob-Gyn, Internal Medicine,
and Dermatology. Working with these mentors has allowed her to
absorb a vast amount of knowledge and experience and gives her a broad
clinical base from which to help her patients.
After completing her residency at Duke, Dr. Vali partnered with a Family Physician in Cary, NC for a year. She, her husband, and her young daughter then moved to Maryland where she started her practice first in Silver Spring in 1999 and then in Clarksville in 2007. She now divides her time between these practices. She has admitting privileges at Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring and Howard County General Hospital in Columbia. She has formed close working relationships with a number of specialists at these hospitals and outside.
Dr. Vali firmly believes in treating patients with dignity and compassion. Healing involves more than prescribing medications; it encompasses physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of health. It requires a cooperative relationship between the physician and the patient. There is a focus on education and personal responsibility to achieve balance and well being.
