Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor Scheduling Practices
Dr. Alame did 2 surgeries in me. When I started having issues again I tried to schedule an appointment. I was told he would bot allow a appointment due to a very small balance left on my account. I have been so af4a8d to see another Dr. But I now have the same issue as before the surgeries.

Work on professional manners
He doesn't examine you when you come to his office and before you have surgery.

After dealing with problems for years and being told nothing could be done, Dr. Alame examined my Mom, and within 1 month surgery was scheduled and done. She says there was no pain and she feels better than she has in years. Dr. Alame was very patient and explained the procedure completely and answered all our questions. After surgery, he and his staff went over everything from the procedure to the aftercare. I would highly recommend Dr. Alame.
