Dr. Lam is a wonderful doctor, and truly so caring of her patients. She scheduled me for a video follow-up on the very same day I reached out with a concerning question. I feel very lucky to have her as my OB/GYN. Thank you.

Dr. Lam was very caring, knowledgeable and took action to help me.
One of the worst I’ve ever gone to
My doctor was amazing
I understand that these are busy medical professionals who need to get through many patients every day, therefore I will put fair. I myself had a poor experience after my IUD was removed and it could have been improved in the following ways: 1) mandatory 10 mins of waiting time before leaving/driving 2) provide ib profin/water
Impossible to fond a great proactive Gyno ever but Dr Lam is awesome!

Dr. Lam is super caring and knowledgeable. I have seen other OB prior to her but did not receive the same kind of care that I'm getting from Dr. Lam. We really like Dr. Lam and her team. I sent them a message, they called me back on the same day to schedule my video visit. I got all my questions answered on a timely fashion.
Everyone was friendly and helpful, didn't have to wait very long. Some trouble booking appointments
She explained everything really well to me and answered all of my questions. It helped me to make the decision for surgery. Also, she and her care team went above and beyond to get earlier dates for the surgery.
I first met Dr Lam with a problem that needed attention as soon as possible. She was kind and understanding, explained the process to fix the problem. Dr Lam put me at ease and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care.
Dr. Lam is very thorough, kind and informative.
Very helpful and nice.
