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.

On Jan 24, 2013, Dr. Lamm mechanically fused my L4, L5 and S1 vertabrae. After more than 7 years, I still feel great. The only qualifier is I must remain active, or it will become inflamed and stiff. Yet, I never need more than an NSAID arthritis medication, and suffer few life restrictions. At over 65, I owe my retirement enjoyment to Dr. Lamm.

1st visit was an eye opener. Dr Lam spent over 1 1/2hrs. Listened with care and concern. Explained my complex problem that had to fuse both left & right SI Joints to stable my balance and walking. they were 6wks apart. Then 3 months later fused L4, L5, & S1. It's been 3 weeks since the back fusion and my pain is completely gone. Prior to the surgeries my pain was 8-9 level almost 24/7. I highly recommend Dr. Lam for any back problem. He has a great bedside manner and shows empathy.

Dr. Lam is the best. I had back surgery prior and was in a great amount of pain. This lead to me gaining weight and prevented me from interacting with my children do to the Constant pain I was in. Dr. Lam was able to indentify what was wrong and help me. I woke up from surgery feeling instantly better. I am now able to walk without being in agonizing pain, and walk further than I was able to prior to him performing surgery. Overall he offers excellent service along with a professional staff.

I had ongoing back pain for years. I tried the epidural shots and practiced yoga regularly but I continued to get worse. Finally I went to see Dr Lam to talk about my options and it was the best thing I could have done. I ended up having a 2 level fusion last June and I can't believe how great I feel. I am back to a regular yoga practice and walking. Dr Lam is a really great doctor I would recommend him to anyone that has back trouble. The staff are very good as well.

Dr Lam performed a laminectomy on me in January of this year. No one ever wants back surgery but when it becomes necessary to relieve pain and nerve damage you do not hesitate. My experience with Dr Lam was very positive. His bedside manner is kind, compassionate and informative. My surgery was performed at Mercy Medical with skilled and kind staff that took great care of me. I am out of pain and have been able to return to most of my pursuits. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Lam.

Dr Lam is wonderful! He performed my neck surgery last July and I've been healing very well. I was extremely nervous about having neck surgery and dealt with the severe pain for over 10 years. I've already had 3 low back surgeries but hesitated when it came to my neck. Dr Lam had such away of putting meat ease. It's not often you find ask surgeon so caring and with a wonderful bedside manner. Hooefully I will not need him again, but if I do, I would use him again! I highly recommend Dr. Lam
