For he first time in I we 20 years I felt heard by a doctor. He was kind, he listen, he explained and he brought a certain peace and confidence. He was absolutely amazing and wonderful. He gave me answers and was judgemental. He took his time and didn't rush me through. He was friendly and knew what he was doing. I thank God I have him for a doctor.

I like Dr. Alam. He is very smart and knowledgable but the visits with her are usually too quick and I feel like he considers me a "checkmark" for his daily list.
