Dr. Alam is perhaps one of the compassionate, caring, attentive, supportive, and overall just a fine gentleman. I shared that with him during the visit. I just retired from healthcare after 51 years. [...] I know good people when I see them and work with them. He is perhaps one of the finest individuals I have ever come across. He's a keeper.
