My interest is in the treatment of patients with leukemia and other hematological malignancies. My main goal is individualized patient care because each patient has different issues, opinions and priorities. I believe this can best be achieved by good communication and actively involving patients in their care.

Dr. Atallah is an excellent doctor with vast knowledge and precise communication skills without being aloof. He is patient-focused, kind and understanding. His sense of humor and "human" qualities are a diversion to the seriousness of my illness.

Dr Atallah is the best possible Dr for my condition. I can't say enough about Him and his staff!! Anyone I come in contact with I refer and tell them the great care I receive.

Nov. 9, 2019
yes, as busy as Dr Atallah is, he took the time to tell me how pleased he is with my progress w/my leukemia. He stated at the beginning of my diagnosis, it was a very stressful time, trying to decide how to determine the best course of action with this disease.He and his team have made these 2 1/2 years a time of discovery to the research and technology and expertise that Froedtert is known for. I truly thank Froedtert for saving my life.

June 14, 2019
Dr. Atallah actually took the time to tell me exactly what CML is (no one) has in the past. He also made me feel safe that he'll be the best fit for me. And I feel that I can really trust him. I have "severe" trust issues with people. But, I feel good with this provider.

March 29, 2019
Dr Atallah and his staff always go the extra mile to explain all the treatments I receive and the medications needed. When I was first diaganosed with Acute Lombastic Lukemia, it was scary and I became very anxious.With Dr Atallah's understanding ways and his compassion, things got much better as I became aware of the good hands I was in with him and his staff. I could not have made a better decision than to begin a clinical trial at Froedtert and The Medical College and after only 5 weeks, I was in full remission.
March 27, 2019

To the best of my knowledge Dr Attalah is the best heme-onc doctor in the Milwaukee region. I feel fortunate to have him as my doctor.

Feb. 15, 2019
Dr. Atallah is extremely knowledgeable, has good instincts, and is a quick-thinker yet thoughtful/careful in his approach. He also has a good sense of humor. Of note, regarding my answer to a previous question--the reason I was not seen within 15-minutes of my appointment time was not his fault--there were multiple problems with the computers and the labs that morning and so there were many delays.
Feb. 14, 2019
Compassion, patience, understanding and genuine caring.
