I have participated in multiple quality improvement and IT projects. My clinical interests include medical education and process improvement. Pulmonary interests include interstitial lung disease (ILD) and lung cancer.

I earned my medical degree at New York Medical College, completed a residency at Yale New Haven Hospital and joined St. Luke’s in 2006 from fellowship training in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Yale University School of Medicine.

I was originally referred to Dr. Alia by my GP. He ordered a pulmonary test and called me about the results within 2 days. No further testing or medication was required. I had a follow-up appt. in 1 yr. and we agreed that I would call if I had any further issue. I was totally pleased how Dr. Alia handled my situation.

Really like this provider. Explained everything that I needed to know

04/03/2024
I have the utmost praise and respect for Dr. Alia and his assistants. I chose him after an on line search. Five years ago, I was told that the nodule in my lung was cancer and that it had to be removed. That was with Another network Over the past 5 years, I went to Einstein to have CT scans to monitor the nodule. The scans showed no growth or change. My Primary physician asked that I do one more CT scan. That is when I decided to find someone at St. Lukes. Dr. Alia had all of my scans and information prior to my appointment. He was so thorough. He showed me my initial scan and told me that he would never tell someone that they had cancer without doing a biopsy first. He was patient and caring. We scheduled the scan before I left the office. I am happy to say that my scan is good. I do not have cancer. I will be looking to have more St. Lukes' Doctors on my team in the future. Thank you for the excellent care.

Dr Alia has tried to find out why I continue to to have Strep sputum cultures, and ordered another blood test to determine what Is going on with my body. Feel he has addressed the Issue and now I know why this condition has not Improved.

Dr. Alia, and his staff did an excellent job.

01/27/2024
I was impressed with the time and attention that I received during my first visit.

01/19/2024
In the past 2 weeks, I visited 2 St. Luke's doctors. Dr. Christopher Alia, was excellent and their diagnosis and treatment recommendations were excellent. I am happy, that they were able to get me "squeezed in" and not have to wait to see a physician or to get testing. I was pleased that they were aggressive with testing and efforts to find out and try to identify what is causing my "shortness of breath". As of this moment, we continue to investigate and are doing more. It is convenient that St. Luke's has many locations to do blood work.

01/12/2024
I have been seeing Dr. Alia for more than five years and appreciate his professionalism, honesty and compassion. He works In tandem with my specialist at Temple Hospital, takes the time to listen to his pateints, is selfless and humble. I have recommended him to friends and family and share my appreciation for his skills and dedication to his field.
