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.

Excellent care
Four generations in my family have been patients with Dr. Lam. He explains things to you. He does not rush your visit. You receive a thorough exam, he gives excellent care and communicates well. He spends as much time as needed with you and answers any questions. He is such a caring ophthalmologist. I would not go to anyone else!! He is the best in my opinion.
