About Dr. Ali Ahmad

I was born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, and later moved to the United States as a teenager. After spending some time here, I returned to Pakistan to pursue my medical education at Khawaja Muhammad Safdar Medical College in Sialkot. Recently, I moved back to the U.S. with my wife and infant daughter to continue my journey in medicine and build a life rooted in service and growth.

I was drawn to Family Medicine because of its broad scope and the opportunity to care for patients in a personal, continuous way. I find great meaning in forming long-term relationships with patients and supporting not just their physical health, but also their emotional and social well-being. For me, Family Medicine represents the kind of compassionate, community-centered care that inspired me to become a doctor in the first place.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and listening to podcasts—simple pleasures that help me stay grounded and connected.

About Dr. Adam Alamo

I’m from New York State and spent my upbringing in both New York City and Syracuse, a mid-sized city located in upstate NY. Experiencing life in the fast-paced environment of New York City and the quieter pace of Syracuse gave me a well-rounded perspective on the diverse needs of different communities. I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology from Binghamton University and completed my medical education at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Middletown, New York.

I chose family medicine because it offers the unique opportunity to care for individuals across all stages of life. I value the diversity and depth of knowledge the field requires, and I’m drawn to the meaningful relationships family physicians build with their patients and communities. Being a primary care provider means I get to be a consistent and trusted presence in people’s lives—and that’s exactly the kind of doctor I aspire to be.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with friends and family.

Originally from Hyderabad, India, I moved to Jersey City, NJ at the age of 14. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Physics with a focus on cloud physics from The College of New Jersey before attending Ross University School of Medicine in Barbados. Growing up in a diverse, immigrant-rich urban environment, I witnessed significant disparities in healthcare, which profoundly influenced my career path.
