Apr 27, 2024
I was recently treated for a macular hole by Dr. Lam and his staff. The entire experience from beginning to end was excellent. The problem, surgery, recovery and possible side effects were thoroughly explained and all my questions were patiently answered. Staff were kind and professional. Highly recommend this physician and practice.
