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.

About 2 years ago I went to the hospital in an extreme amount of pain, I got an infection and my body was in septic shock. After about 10 hours the hospital diagnosed what was wrong and I was being preped for surgery. The infection had spread so quickly and severely I was given about a 20% chance to survive the surgery. Tony was my surgeon and the only reason I am here today he saved my life. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU TONY YOURE THE REASON IM HERE TODAY I LOVE YOU THANK YOU!

If I would have taken Dr. Tam's advice , I would have been dead in 6months. Went in to have a mass removed. He did no diagnostic tests and told me it was a fatty tumor. He was so wrong. It was a very rare and aggressive cancer.

I was referred to Dr. Tam and I am very happy I was. Pre-op team was amazing and comforting. He did an excellent job doing the surgery and answered all my concerns. Saw him a week later just to make sure i was doing fine. Even when I had concerns and called the office about two weeks later they scheduled an appointment for me right away that morning. I would definitely recommend Dr. Tam.

I had an umbilical hernia incarcerated and in the ER Dr Tam manipulated the hernia back in to stabilize and had me admitted. I went into OR the next morning and the procedure was done in about an hour. Post op was great. I had little pain, no nausea but some constipation that is to be expected I discharged later that evening and had a follow up with the doc a week later. All is well. Dr Tam was fantastic. He and his team did a wonderful job with me.
