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.

Dr. Tham is nothing but a pill pusher. He put me through hell, and never helped me other than constantly increasing my pain meds. Run do not walk run from this man. He should have lost his license a long time ago.

I wish I could rate lower than this. He is a disrespectful and terrible doctor who does not deserve the hold the title. He verbally assaulted me and treated me like a drug addict, after clean urine tests and a long history of chronic pain in my records. He deserves to lose his license. Beware.

Scheduling is difficult, the staff is rude and the typical wait is 1-2 hours. Then all of the sudden, they wouldn't return my calls. Now I just found out that the practice dropped me as a patient because I made scheduling adjustments during my nearly 3 years of being treated there, even though the officer manager confirmed that I always made the postponements and cancellations with the proper 48 hour notice. I am shocked at their failure of communciation and the poor treatment of patients.

Dr. Tham and his assistant Terri excelled in every aspect of pain management. They treated me with compassion, worked extremely hard to get my medicine properly adjusted, and explained everything in length about the medicine, it purposes and advantages. I am honored to have such a devoted Doctor and assistant help me through such a critical time with my heath care needs. Thank you for your thoughtful attention and devotion to my pain management. You have distinguished yourself as the best!

Dr. Tham has been and is an excellent, compassionate doctor specializing in pain management. I have been seeing him for many years under workmans comp and also my regular BC/BS insurance. He has helped me immensely. I have recommended him to family who were very pleased and thanked me. He is a well known and busy doctor and it can be difficult to get an early appointment. I have found his admin staff to be professional; I have no comment about the rest of the staff.

The doctors in the office are all very nice, would recommend. BewareThe secretary, Terry thinks she is a doctor and can make decision on the doctors behalf. She is very rude not a very nice person and has no compassion for anyone. I think they should fire her and hire someone more kind and respectful.
