Patient Reviews
Jun 04, 2025
I paid over $1,000 for three appointments expecting concierge-level psychiatric care; instead, I was profiled as a young man, hit with an unnecessary urine drug test demand, and baselessly accused of having a DUI. Dr. Alam couldn’t even read her own paperwork—when I corrected her that I never had a DUI, she didn’t apologize but doubled down with, “I thought I saw it,” before ruffling through my file in a five-minute display of disorganized incompetence. This wasn’t care—it was suspicion, arrogance, and sloppiness disguised as professionalism. If you value competence, respect, or basic human dignity, run the other way.
