The staff that works with Dr. Alam is fantastic but he himself is awful. He is always running at least an hour behind your appointment time, he referred to me as “a child” for some reason (I’m 36,) and during a surgery he was more interested in talking about me to another staff member than actually talking TO me. I’ve given him three appointment chances, but I certainly won’t be back. Northwestern has a ton of wonderful doctors, but Alam is certainly not one of them.
