My Opinion of yesterday's appointment
Good evening Leslie and Dr. Lamb. I was disappointed with my visit at MWHC on 9-11-25. I know I was asked after my appointment what did I think. After leaving there I had a chance to relax and get my thoughts together. I did not like that my previous records was used to evaluate me. That's not what was discussed with Dr. Jean. I wanted a second opinion not going through notes writing by someone else opinion. That defeated my purpose of coming there. I could have had a family member read my notes and made that decision I received yesterday. That was an insult to my character. I need someone to check me out not go off someone else's opinion.

My grandmother recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Lam, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care I received. From the moment we walked into the clinic, Dr. Lam's warm and welcoming demeanor put us at ease.
Dr. Lam is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled but also takes the time to listen to concerns and explain treatment options thoroughly. I felt he genuinely cared my grandmother and was confident in the treatment plan. The professionalism and compassion displayed by Dr. Lam and the entire staff made my experience truly outstanding.
I highly recommend Dr. Lam to anyone seeking top-notch medical care. Thank you, Dr. Lam, for your dedication and for making a positive impact on your patients' lives!

Dr Lam is the first doctor that took the time to read my file. And in advance of my first appointment! So I didn't have to repeat myself. He laid out what the situation was and the options along with the pros and cons. He has taken a very active and very pro-active approach to helping me manage my diagnosis and I completely feel the difference. I have my quality of life and the ability to live my life again! If I could give 10 stars, I would! He is simply amazing! Thank you Dr Lam and staff!
