Muhammad Alam's Online Review Report Card

I went in with my girlfriend, even after reading negative reviews she still decided to give him a shot, HOWEVER after meeting with Dr.Alam I was in fact astonished at the accuracy of the reviews. The appointment was no longer than 15 minutes and he spent more than half the time ranting to us about how marijuana kills brain cells & cancels out the medication with no evidence being shown. He was insensitive, basically blamed my girlfriend because we are marijuana users for her “simple depression”. He showed no sympathy & even kicked his feet on his table and laid back while speaking to us. He didn’t ask not ONCE about any of her symptoms or feelings. Simply prescribed more medication and sent us on our way. He also was really pushy towards scheduling another appointment (which I will never be doing) even after declining. Overall I don’t recommend him, as he is cold, unprofessional, unwelcoming and is extremely biased. Save your money & find someone who genuinely cares for there patients.

I am absolutely shocked at the lack of professionalism and knowledge by this Dr. He clearly has no interest in my wellbeing or in helping me in any way. It is abhorrent that he works in the mental health field. It seems like he has no knowledge of what to prescribe or treatments, gets mad if you see other doctors, and keeps saying he wont prescribe meds (that I don’t even ask about?). Would NOT recommend him. I do not trust him with my care and I would not have him if I could find someone else to take my insurance

Arrogant. Money motivated over needs of patients. Treats you as he's just a rug dealer of psyche meds. Could give a crap about you.

Not sympathetic to the needs of the patient. Arrogant. Don't bother with this man.

First visit was last week. Was referred to him from my PCP. I read all of these reviews and my thought was, "he can't be that bad." Well I am here with my hat in my hand ready to admit I was wrong. If you have an appointment I would cancel it if you can find someone else.

Not a good environment. No counseling, just a dictator with a file that has your name on it. He will not engage with you or even ask you questions. At least for me and most of the reviews I have read this man needs to be avoided. Going to have to talk with my PCP about why she would recommend such an individual. If you can find someone else please do, it's your money and time. Use both with someone who will try and improve you, not themselves.

I wouldn't see him if my insurance would pay for someone else. He doesn't give you a chance to talk and he doesn't ask questions. In and out in under 15 minutes. Doesn't seem to care at all.

In reading previous reviews, I was very surprised. I find him to be very friendly and interested in what is going on in my life. He always takes time to hear me out and discuss the best medication options.

Do not ever see this man. He made me feel like I was completely wasting his time. Like I was nothing but an inconvenience. I could tell right away that I didnt like him. Cold, and extremely unwelcoming. There are different words that I would prefer to use to drescribe him but Im trying to keep it clean. He is a jerk, and in all honesty that is not some one who should be working with people with severe mental health disorders. Im disgusted by this whole thing.

Dr. Alam cares more about movies than his patients. Does not listen, but makes judgments and presumptions about you instead. His lack of caring is evident in his mannerisms and body language when you are in his office. He is only a prescription writer, and doesn't even do that well. He will change your diagnoses to make the insurance companies happy, without regard to how it affects you at all. I know because he did that to me. 20 years with PTSD, anxiety, depression as diagnosed by other professionals. He changed it to BiPolar disorder so he could continue to write my prescriptions based in insurance company requirements. Do not see this doctor.
