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.

I have a little trouble communicating with Dr. Tam. I have the feeling that she doesn't listen to me well. She has a tendency to attribute my complaints to my age or other unlikely causes.Technically, she does everything correctly. I promptly receive the referrals I need. I think she is a well-informed doctor but she doesn't seem to appreciate a challenge in determining the causes of my symptoms.
