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 man's action was criminal! He canceled my surgery and I didn't know it until I arrived at the hospital! I CALL HIM and all he could say was that he was "intending" to call me early that morning but didn't. I have been severely depressed and had to find another PCP in another medical facility to get another referral for surgery of my ruptured appendix!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Lam?
Dr Lam saved my son's life while he was a trauma surgeon at Kaiser in Vacaville, when my son was shot eleven times by local police. Dr Lam is an excellent surgeon and persisted when others would have given up. My son was shot in all his vital organs except his heart and Dr Lam did not give up on him. Now after spending four months in the hospital and much recuperation at home, my son is recovering and is walking again and all his organs are working (except his spleen, which was removed). Thank you so much!! We couldn't have asked for a better Dr. He is very systematic in his approach and very informative.
