Initial visit, will get to know him better in the future. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable professional and took his time explaining what is available if I wanted to change treatment.

Not my favorite appointment to go to but always appreciate Dr. Alam and his care.

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.
