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.

Brilliant
Dr. Lam fenestrated a large cyst in my daughter's brain with the acumen of a master. She also performed the surgery without placing a stent, which can cause life-threatening infection. My child started walking and talking six weeks later, her intracranial pressure reduced, and her CSF began to flow normally again. She was 17 months old at the time. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Lam saved my child's life.
