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.

Great Doctor
My company changed insurance and he was no longer in my network. You never know what you have until it's gone. I miss the face to face. The primary care doctor my insurance assigned me I have never seen. I've had many appointments but never with him. A different PA or NP or whatever acronym, every time. I would give anything to have him back.
What went well
  • I felt respected
  • Listened & answered questions
  • Appointment wasn't rushed
  • Trusted the provider's decisions
What could be improved
  • Difficult to schedule appointment
  • Staff wasn't friendly

Terrible staff and dismissive doctor. I'm changing my grandmother's primary care physician immediately.

I have been seeing Dr. Lam for 4 years now. I feel he pays attention to what I say and that is important to me. Most of his staff are very helpful. His current PA is great. He has a lot of good suggestions in helping me to control my diabetes. Sometimes it is a little difficult in getting my prescriptions coordinated between him and some of my many specialists, but it just takes patience and in the end everything does work out. I feel he always has the patients best interest at hand.

My elderly mother chose Dr. Lam and loves him he listens to everything she has to say and she does not feel rushed at all when she has an appointment. He is a very kind person and has helped her with numerous ailments. All the young women working in the office have been very helpful and are very friendly towards other patients.

Dr. Lam himself was a good doctor. His entire staff and his PA is another story. I could deal with the incompetence from this office for my wife and myself any longer. We had to find another doctor.
