I saw Dr. Alam today for a squamous cell carcinoma in my lower lip. It was my first major surgery and he and his team took wonderful care of me. I was in their office and waiting room in and out of procedures for 8 hours. Yes, a long time to wait, but when your health is on the line I would do it again. Thankful for the attention to detail of Dr. Alam. His team made me feel comfortable and I can not recommend him highly enough.

I have been under Dr. Alam's care almost since he started at Northwestern. Prior to that I had been seen by nearly every major facility in Chicagoland and many across the Country. Being a Veteran skin cancer patient, having thousands of lesions removed using every known modality, I can attest to Dr. Alam knowledge. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable in his field but far beyond that he is highly skilled at his trade. Above all is his caring and kindness for each and every patient. Thanks Doc

Dr. Alam explained that a specific office visit would be covered by insurance. It was not. I disputed the charge. Northwestern Medicine refuses to remove the charge from my account.
I cannot recommend a physician that promises a procedure would be covered by insurance and then charge me an out-of-pocket expense. Dr. Alam cannot be trusted.

Dr. Alam is an excellent surgeon and has a fine team of assistants. He is always pleasant courteous and even talks to make sure you're calm during surgery. Never condescending. and if you need stitches he is as good as a plastic surgeon.

I would Dr. Alam 4 or 5 stars but my experience was unsatisfactory.
I arrived at 8:30. after a 10-minute walk from home and was taken at 9:00. The basal cell removal was done by 9:30. I was told to return in 45 minutes for results, although it could be 90. Returning at 10:15, I found the nurse at 11 who said results were negative and I'd get stiches shortly. At 1:15, I told another nurse if he wasn't in in 15 minutes I was leaving. He showed up at 1:30. I could've waited at home.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Alam. I was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma on my upper eye just under my brow. At my request he fit me in for a consultation. He listened to and addressed all my concerns, was kind and patient. He fully explained the procedure and put me at total ease. During the procedure, he was gentle, considerate and seemed highly skilled. He and his team were the ultimate professionals. I have the utmost confidence in him and rate him 10 out of 10

Alam is my favorite doctor, hands down. He is extremely caring, he spends generous amounts of time with his patients and will fully explain treatment options. This man literally saved my life. He is brilliant, compassionate and a gift to medicine.

So knowledgeable and caring about my frequent lower leg squamous cell skin cancers. Concerned about Mohs surgery being pain free and trying several procedures to eliminate sun damaged cells so they don`t become skin cancer. Sometimes have to wait but so worth it.
