Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Alam?
I've never met a mental health professional as passive/uncaring about her patients as Dr. Alam. At first, she seemed perfectly pleasant and willing to assist me with my issues/concerns, but I've come to realize that her main objective is making money. I have reasons for these comments, but I'm unable to post my entire review here. Bottom line, think twice before you schedule an appointment with this person. She will drain you mentally and financially.
