“I am someone patients can ask questions and get answers that make sense. I am committed to patient care and finding the best possible treatment options for each person.”

— Dr. Alam

What do you value about your work?

I care a lot about building relationships, meeting people where they are and constantly learning and growing. I enjoy working as part of a team to assist patients with skin conditions.

By applying the latest research to treatment, we work together to push care forward.

What brought you to dermatology?

I practiced in internal medicine for several years, including working as a hospitalist. I became interested in dermatology because it’s a very visual field that also allows us to make major management decisions with patients and provide care over time. I value how we work closely with oncologists, surgeons and other specialists, collaborating on how to best care for patients.
