    The most caring and thorough doctor I know. Genuinely cares about his patients. Office staff…read moreneeds improvement, often not taking care of business in a timely manner. Sometimes waiting days for refills to be filled. But a great doctor he is.

    We were patients of Dr Alam for many years. He's a great doctor, but over the years (most notably…read morefrom 2020 on) his staff has become lazy, incompetent, and some downright lie and are rude. We haven't been able to get in to see Dr. Alam for well over a year (at least). He has been out of the office and his stand in doctor is also very knowledgeable, however you will absolutely wait in the waiting room at least an hour to be seen. Costco calls them for refills and they ignore it every time until I call them directly and push to get medications filled. The staff acts like they own the practice and make all the decisions. It's obvious no doctor is really running that office. I watched a couple staff members speak to the stand in doctor so disrespectfully! I was shocked. I have worked with doctors and would never dream of talking like that to them. I once called with a potentially serious medical issue and needed answers right away (and stated the seriousness). I called a second time after waiting for hours and still no help. I called our cardiologist office for help at 430 pm and they said they would get back to me. They called me a few times in between to let me know they were working on it, even after 630 pm they contacted me with the answer. Dr. Alam's office, despite the seriousness of my call, NEVER called me back. My husband had a check up with blood work and everything but needed a surgery clearance for another doctor. I called to request the clearance ASAP as it was 2 weeks to the surgery and they wouldn't schedule the surgery until they had the clearance. It took the full 2 weeks (calling every day, multiple times) and actually going to the office and sitting there while they got the clearance signed. We have since switched physicians where our health needs and concerns are met and the staff is competent. I would never again recommend this office.

    My partner needed his wisdom teeth removed - never a fun thing. I was hoping he could go to Dr. Koh…read more(highly recommend) however his insurance was not accepted there. Harouni and Hughes were suggested from his insurance. The office was small and crowded, several parents with their teenage kids nervously awaiting their procedure. The office was so small, you can hear just about every sound from the surgery rooms - clanking metal, drilling, grinding, you name it. This all made me a little queasy. It's obvious the doctor makes surgery days and schedules everyone back-to-back. It was like a drive-thru for wisdom teeth removal. My partner went back and about 45 minutes later was being wheeled out. During my wait, I was wondering when they would give me instructions / care information. It wasn't until he was being ushered into my car that they handed me a piece of paper with some info. I would have appreciated someone going over this while I was waiting, since my focus was on caring for my semi-conscious partner. I only have one experience of wisdom teeth removal myself and to be honest, I don't remember much. But after witnessing the post-care, I can't say this is a place I recommend. This doesn't even include some of the issues my partner had such as dry-socket and tooth particles still in the cavity. We also have had some issues where they incorrectly misbilled his insurance - a nightmare on its own. If your insurance allows it, you may be better off elsewhere.

    Everyone from the girls in the front office to the assistant that brought me back to the operating…read moreroom and the doctor himself were very professional and thoroughly accommodating. I especially enjoyed the conversations I had with miss Elizabeth the surgical assistant, we had that in common as I too was a surgical assistant at both Mercy and Memorial Hospital . I thought Dr.Sam also did exceptionally well with the extraction , there was very little bleeding at all and not much pain as well . All things considered, a great job by all ‼And oh yeah you too Cynthia thanks ‼
