Dr Alam was so warm and engaging she put me at ease immediately as did her nurse who was equally lovely. She was very thorough and detailed and I felt respected, heard and was not rushed at all. Fantastic bedside manor coupled with expertise could not of asked for a better experience and will continue with her as my primary care physician as I know I will get great care.

Dr. Alam is extremely thorough, and goes through all of my bloodwork test by test to help me understand exactly what's going on. She always remembers what we talked about at previous appointments, even if those conversations happened over a year ago. It's rare to find a doctor who is so truly invested in her patients' health and wellbeing.

I love Dr Alam, she is the nicest doctor my family have ever had. She listens to you, takes time to figure out why you are feeling certain way, she asks many questions and order tests to rule out anything potentially serious. The stuff at the clinic is friendly and I have never waited more than ten mins for my appointment. The clinic is spotless clean! And they space the patients so it’s never crowded.

Dr. Alam, DO is an absolute sweetheart. She has a lovely way about her that makes the appointment comfortable and she touches on what is important.
