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.

This was my first office visit with Dr. Tam. I was very impressed. I sent her a list of my questions and concerns the night before my appointment and she was able to review it in advance of our appointment and we touched on all of the issues that I had. I am very comfortable with Dr. Tam and I would highly recommend her to others.

It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Tam. She was recommended by a family friend that works at Providence. My wife and I both met with Dr. Tam about my care. She answered all our questions. The advice nurses during and after hours are great and get right back to us.

Dr Tam is exceptional! I was in the ER on Saturday, Monday was a holiday and she saw me on Tuesday, She's very respectful, listens collaborates and shares relevant information about possible medical issues we are exploring. She has all of the medical information on my history over many years available and answers my questions with clear, concise explanations. In addition, she's compassionate and supportive. A 10 plus!! The entire B team is great and has always provided excellent support and good advice when I've called in the past. So grateful for this excellent care!

Dr. Tam doesn't need my good rating. Everyone that goes to her knows she's the best care you can get! I had some chest pain and she immediately got me a nuclear stress test and a follow up appointment. She totally put me at ease in a scary situation.

We moved from out of state so it's difficult to get appt w/ new providers. I had appt scheduled waiting about 6 wks . PCP sent referral for urgency as his BP has been very low & Irratic . Finally called w/ next day appt w / different Dr than originally scheduled. Dr Tam was wonderful, very reassuring & familiar w/ this being normal w/ PD . She ordered additional tests to be safe .
