Dr. Allam did not provide my father with adequate care in which he often made decisions without sufficiently observing, or checking up on my father. He made a failed decision to take my father off of IV fluids, antibiotics, and oxygen, after only 3.5 days of treatment, because he declared they would not work; this is a decision that he made which deviated from normally followed protocol of 7-10 days of antibiotics, with combined treatment. It is absolutely incredulous that this doctor made any medical decisions regarding my father because he only visited him once a day, for 10 minutes. He made my father’s sepsis a terminal diagnosis without giving his treatment due diligence. As a result, my 80 year old father was left to suffer, for multiple days, because Dr. Allam’s medical opinion lacking empirical support. Furthermore, he wanted to discharge my comatose, dying father without justification, or cause. Do not trust this doctor to provide adequate care.

Took excellent care of my mother
