Dr. Allen Lam, MD

Dr. Lam is easygoing and respectful, explains what is going on in a way that anyone can understand, and listens with obvious care for the patient. I felt completely at ease in his care for a rather urgent issue.

I had an inflammation of the tonsil, that was misdiagnosed at an Urgent Care Clinic as a fungal infection. It got so bad that I could not eat for several days. When it got difficult to breathe, I went to the ER of Newton Wellesley Hospital, and had the luck of being treated by Dr. Lam. In one visit the tonsil got all better, like a miracle. I think he is a genius.

Dr. Lam was extremely knowledgeable and was able to discover my issue in minutes of me being there where he gave me 2 options to resolve the matter. Dr. Lam had a great way of explaining the issue and made me feel at ease as he explained my options. I would highly recommend Dr. Lam and will be using him for future visits when problems arise.

Dr. Lam removes ear wax from my ears every year. I appreciate his patience and painless skills. I feel fortunate and grateful!

He was very attentive and answered all questions. He is kind and considerate with his patients. I would recommend him to anyone who has a hearing problem.

Excellent doctor. This is the second time I've had a medical problem that I've visited him for. The first was 6 years ago, a vocal cord polyp which required surgical removal. Both Dr. Lam and the speech therapist/pathologist at MEEI were great. This time, it's a rare but serious sinus problem that showed up on an MRI done by my GP, likely requiring surgery. Very happy that I was able to get him again as my specialist.

I found Dr. Lam and the entire ME&E team to be incredibly professional. The procedure has been life changing for me, and I give the doctor my highest recommendation. Thank you!

I went to see Dr. Lam today 3/6 about a fullness sensation on my right ear for over a month now. After seeing couple ENT Doctors (none of them knew what to tell me) he was my last hope. I'm very happy I found him. He is very professional and take his time with patients. I highly recommend him if you need an ENT Doctor. You can tell right away that he really cares about his patients and love what he does. Thank you Dr. Lam

I saw Dr. Lam today 8/18 for a recurring problem with noise in my right ear, and feeling full-headed at times. I had a serious car accident on 5/10 that affected my neck, head, and ears. Dr. Lam was wonderful; he was patient with me, explained things carefully, and gave me hope that these symptoms would, with time, go away. I felt so much better after my appointment with him. I am encouraged that I can eventually make a full recovery. I would heartily recommend Dr. Lam to anyone. Jayne Champion

Although the wait time can vary, Dr. Lam is worth the wait. He is clearly very smart but humble and caring. And, he spends time to explain things to layman terms. I have referred my friends to him and would refer family if they lived near Boston.

Dr. Lam did very thorough examination and treatment. He is very professional and thorough in explaining all the problems and treatment. I recommend him highly to anyone who need ENT exam.

Dr. Lam did my surgery a couple months ago and it went very well. I sincerely appreciate how he used surgery as a last resort but when it had to happen, the surgery went off without a hitch. I was very nervous but now I am breathing like a normal person again. Dr. Lam you are the best!!

Dr. Lam was my surgeon for sinus surgery. He explained everything in detail upfront. I appreciated that he initially tried medical management before jumping straight to surgery as the other ENT surgeon I saw wanted to do. I am scared of surgery and wanted to try to control with medicines if possible. I am breathing better thanks to Dr. Lam.

like him a lot. kind, smart, and explains things to me and my fam.

dr lam is great. he is smart and helpful. he takes time to explain things. would recommend him highly.

Outstanding! Saw me on time, listened intently to what I had to say, asked questions to get clarification on what I was saying. Very thorough, organized and knowledgeable.Explained things using real life terms and examples that a non-medical person can understand. Explained exam procedures before and while performing them. Made sure I understood his directions for my medications, he wrote them down and handed them to me. Insured that I was set up for my follow up appointments.
