Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Doctor. He has been my Doctor for many years. He cares about his patients. Very personable.

- 1,000 stars. Wouldn't take my worst enemy here
He refused to listen to my mom and her symptoms until she was finally diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer from an ER visit almost a year later. All of the signs were there that something was really wrong and he just kept reassuring her and tried sending her to another clinic so he didn't have to deal with it.

Will ignore you and because of it your condition will worsen before he takes you seriously. Very unsympathetic and truly believe he does not listen to his patients especially if you are young. He told me i was young and healthy and a month later it turns out I have colitis, dilated bile ducts, and compression on my SMA artery and have to see specialists in UW. I needed pain control until i see them and at first tried calling me a drug addict because the hospital put me on hydromorphone and didnt like it and wanted to argue with me about continuing the pain regiment until i know more about my conditions

I have seen Dr Nam many many years as well as my husband. Also for my mother when she was alive. Always answers my messages through the patient portal. I feel very lucky for my family and I we have Dr Nam as our primary physician.

Worst dr I have ever seen. My old dr left the office. So they stuck me with this dr. Ran our of refills on my birth control that my old dr wrote, from that office. Nam refused to refill them for even one month tell I saw a gyno. Told me I had to come in for blood work it had only been 6 moths sense I had seen him and he won't do my refills no matter what. So I have not gone back. He is also the rudist dr I have ever met
