Patient Reviews
Oct 15, 2019
Dr Lam saved my son's life while he was a trauma surgeon at Kaiser in Vacaville, when my son was shot eleven times by local police. Dr Lam is an excellent surgeon and persisted when others would have given up. My son was shot in all his vital organs except his heart and Dr Lam did not give up on him. Now after spending four months in the hospital and much recuperation at home, my son is recovering and is walking again and all his organs are working (except his spleen, which was removed). Thank you so much!! We couldn't have asked for a better Dr. He is very systematic in his approach and very informative.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
