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.

Dr. Lam is the best!
Dr. Lam listens. She explains. She is not condescending. She is knowledgeable, approachable, efficient, and addresses concerns directly. She's just great.

Worst communication of any doctor I have experienced! Talked to Us very condescending. Would not tell anything about test and no after care. Don't go to her!

Dr. Lam did emergency surgery on Saturday, and came in on Sunday to check my toe. She is bright, listens, and cares.

I usually don’t like to leave reviews, but in this case I feel like I should. Long story short, I needed to get a procedure done and they didn’t check to see if my insurance would cover it, they just assumed it would. Well, my insurance didn’t cover it and I was stuck with a $300.00 bill that I couldn’t afford and now it’s in collections. And it was taking like an “oops,I guess it didn’t cover it, huh.” Situation and it’s really frustrating!
