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.

Takes time to listen to me.
He's an amazing Dr. I had an urgent change in my health condition and he made room for me to be seen. He examined me and told me what his findings were and gave me options for my care, ordered tests, mri for my back. Gave me a follow up appointment to review my blood and mri and ordered new medication. I left his office feeling like I understood what he said and we had a plan of treatment. 5 stars for this great man.

Rude and unhelpful
I've seen him at least five times and every visit he has insinuated that I'm either stupid or a liar. For example, the very first visit I told him that amphetamine and dextroamphetamine are used off-label for depression, and he informed me that it isn't and said I misunderstood why it was prescribed to me. He accused me of stopping my medications without telling my other doctor after I said the other doctor still prescribed it in case I needed it. He fights not to give me referrals or tests, which I then have to get later from specialists. He also insists that his instant diagnoses for my chronic health problems are correct, based on no evidence, and dismisses my statements that specialists have concluded those diagnoses are unlikely. He'll ignore me when I say I've already seen a particular doctor and refer me to the SAME person, wasting so much time. This is infuriating because I've had chronic health problems for over ten years. At least he is qualified to prescribe fluticasone.

Dr Lam
Always takes time to listen and not rush me through my appointments; is open to discussing alternative treatments when something is not working for me and follows up when changes are made to my Plan of care.

Great experience
Everyone here is very nice and friendly. Made me feel comfortable from the time I walked in. Dr. Lam was very nice. He is easy to talk to and seems like a take action kind of doctor. Got me back on my Rx and answered my questions with no problem. I felt comfortable and satisfied with my visit.

Intuitive and thorough
Writing for a family member - senior with type 2 diabetes. Dr. Lam is extremely thorough and engaging. He doesn't just go down the prescribed check-in checklist. Tested balance, asked follow up questions in a conversation manner when patient response was brief. Truly tries to know his patients. Recommended exercises and demonstrated for patient. Had patient attempt certain moves for him as a metric of range and current abilities. Knows diabetes impacts on other areas of health and what essentials are needed for monitoring. Absolutely tops!! If you have diabetes and need a primary care physician, this is your doctor.

Physical check
Dr. Lam took the time to discuss with my son the summer experiences and encouraged him all while ensuring all his health concerns were addressed. He listened. My son felt very comfortable and at home and was open to discussing any concerns he had. It was very comforting to me that he had such a good rapport with the Doctor. Than you Dr. Lam
