Dr. Ahmad Allam

I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or getting older. Dr. Allam was the first one who actually listened to the whole timeline. He ordered some specific blood tests I'd never had before and, honestly, it took a couple of weeks to figure it out. Turns out it was a rare autoimmune thing. He sat with me and my husband for ages, drawing diagrams on a notepad to explain what was happening and the treatment plan. I finally feel like we're getting somewhere. (Patient of Dr. Ahmad)

Had to get a colonoscopy, which nobody looks forward to. The prep was as awful as everyone says, but the actual procedure at Burjeel was straightforward. Dr. Allam popped his head in before I went under, cracked a small joke about the prep drink, which actually helped. Woke up, he came by with the all-clear results and some pictures. The whole thing felt very routine for them, which made it less scary for me. In and out without any drama. (Patient of Dr. Ahmad)

The place itself is impressive, I won't lie. It feels more like a high-end hotel than a hospital. But what really stood out was the team. The lady at the front desk saw I was lost and walked me to the clinic. The nurse who took my vitals noticed I was anxious and just chatted about the weather for a minute. It wasn't just Dr. Allam; everyone I interacted with seemed genuinely kind and on the ball. Even the guy who brought the tea was polite. (Patient of Dr. Ahmad)

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. My first visit with Dr. Allam, I probably gave one-word answers. He didn't rush me. He just talked in a really calm, normal way, asking about my work and family, and the medical questions sort of slipped into the conversation. He has this way of explaining things without making you feel stupid. I left feeling like I'd talked to a really smart, calm friend who also happens to know a lot about medicine. (Patient of Dr. Ahmad)
