November 2019

The Receptionist, Nurse and Dr. Lam were excellent, compassionate, professional and knowledgeable.

I look forward to appointments in Dr. Lam's office, when necessary, because the doctor and staff are friendly, casual, and thorough. Dr. Lam always listens to what's on my mind and always explains his recommendations very well.

Very helpful with diet and exercise suggestions and things to look out for.

Relaxed, friendly, helpful experience each time I go to this office for an appointment.

All went well. All question s answered.

when some one say that they find it's a pleasure to see their doctor you probably would think they are not truthful, but with dr.lamm i believe he really care about my health.
