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.

Took my 6 week old daughter to him for a fever he just glanced at her, listened to her, and concluded "it could be anything". I had to ask him to please check her ears. On another occasion he was the only pedi available for a sick visit. My 7 month old daughter tested negative for the flu and he prescribed her Tamiflu saying "it could be viral". I opted not to give her the medication we ended up in the ER, turns out she had an infection. Not thorough or concerned about his patients.

I would consider a friend or family member to Dr. Lam. I believe he's very straight on when it comes to boys. Since my baby was born he has been seen by Dr. Lam and I haven't been troubled by him.. He's a well rounded Dr. That care because he has kids our babies age.

Dr. Lam is very nonchalant about patients' care/conditions. All three of my children saw Dr. Lam. My son was diagnosed with autism in February; but we had to go to an outside clinic/doctor to get the diagnosis. I tell Dr. Lam what I think is happening and he just agrees with whatever I say and signs paperwork. Truly a doctor who is all about the money and not about the patients.

Dr. Lam is not a good doctor because he is not thorough with his check ups and could care less about a parent's concern. Because of his negligence my 10 month old son could have died. Dr. Lam said there was nothing wrong with my baby. I took my 10 mont son to his old pediatrician the next morning and my son was in respiratory distress because of RSV and also had bronchitis. He was immediately given a breathing treatment and was sent home with a nebulizer.DR LAM IS NOT A GOOD DOCTOR.
