Dr. Kahlam was the worst experience that I ever had in my 63 years of life. I have never been treated like cattle. He has absolutely no bed side manner you make an appointment rush to make your supposed time however you get there and stand in a line, extremely unprofessional. like I said cattle!

I went to him over a year ago for stomach pains and digestion problems and he entirely dismissed me. He said that I’m just young and anxious, but it’s been almost 18 months and I’m still in pain despite him telling me it’ll get better in time. Even if it is all anxiety I can’t live with this and he expects me to without the medical advice I paid for!

I was referred to Dr. Kahlam by my M.D. for a routine colonoscopy and I found his staff to be friendly and helpful. Dr. Kahlam himself was wonderful. We had a brief office visit then the following day he performed the procedure at a local surgical center. His bedside manner is wonderful and his care of me during and after the procedure was terrific. I highly recommend him, he is a valuable asset to have in Hackettstown.

I will not allow my Mother to see this man again! He changed her feeding tube without any anesthesia at all! She was in so much pain! She says she wants to die if she ever has to go through that pain again. He says he did it because she's 85 years old. Seriously?! I NEVER want you to see my Mother again! You sir are a monster!

Dr. Ka glam would not listen to my concerns. Every time I went, he would ask me the same questions over again like I've never been there. He diagnosed me with colitis and even after complaining of recurring symptoms, said it was likely it was going away. Then treated me for an infection that wasn't there. I went to another doctor who told me I was prescribed the wrong dosage by dr. Kahlam, and did further testing on me to confirm that I don't have colitis but crohns (something dr. Kahlam refused to test me for after I asked numerous times). I will never go back and will never refer anyone to his practice.
