Dr. Ahmed N. Ali, a distinguished radiation oncologist at Northside Radiation Oncology Consultants in Atlanta, has been named a 2025 Castle Connolly Top Doctor. This prestigious recognition is awarded to only about 7 percent of the nation's licensed physicians each year, based on nominations from peer physicians and a rigorous selection process by the Castle Connolly research team.
At Northside Hospital, Dr. Ali holds several key positions, including vice chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology and physician director of the High-Dose-Rate (HDR) Prostate Brachytherapy Program. His role as Education Lead of the Georgia Prostate Cancer Roundtable (GPCRT) further underscores his commitment to advancing cancer treatment and education.
Dr. Ali's educational background is as impressive as his professional achievements. After graduating cum laude from Emory University, he earned his medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He completed his residency in radiation oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and a fellowship in prostate brachytherapy at the Seattle Prostate Institute.
Board-certified by the American Board of Radiology, Dr. Ali specializes in treating prostate cancer with brachytherapy, among other cancers such as breast, lung, colorectal, and head and neck cancers. His expertise includes advanced treatment modalities like prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), Barrigel® rectal-spacer placement, and deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique for breast cancers.
Practicing primarily at the Midtown location of Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, Dr. Ali's affiliation extends to other Northside Hospital locations across Atlanta, Cherokee, Forsyth, and Gwinnett. His recognition as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor not only celebrates his individual excellence but also shines a light on the critical work being done in radiation oncology to combat cancer.
