    She is compassionate but I have been disappointed with her process of referrals. She has simply referred me to groups but with no recommendations on individual Drs. Also, one referral for a dermatologist gor cancer screening put me in touch with avgroup that was not accepting new patients.

    Dr. Islam is the best. She is very respectful and always listens to the reasons for my visit. I trust her medical advice, and she is very collaborative in her treatment. Recently, I changed my Medicare plan to an HMO, which required her to provide referrals to all my specialists. Dr. Islam provided all of the referrals in a timely manner. She is an excellent doctor. I have recommended her to family members and friends.

    Dr. Islam is the best. We went over my medical situation and discussed Methods of handling my issues in the future. She explained several medical issues to me and included me in the decision-making for my plan for future treatment. I am very happy with Dr. Islam and would recommend her to anyone needing medical care. She is extraordinary and is a real asset to the ProHealth organization.
