Impeccable, thorough, and amazing “bedside” manor! My husband was experiencing extreme abdominal pain for several days. After a VERY unsuccessful and awful trip to Desert Regional, we decided to find an actual Dr. to access the the problem. Dr. Lam was our choice (based off his reputation and education) hands down. He made us feel at ease immediately and LISTENED to my husbands maladies. The process was quick, efficient, and properly accessed! Thank you Dr. Lam!

The initial greeting was great. The staff was very efficient and professional. My questions were were answered and explicitly detailed by the doctor and his physician assistant followed up after the doctor to see that I understood everything the doctor directed and inquire if there was any other inquiries or matters to be addressed.
