Patient Reviews
Aug 29, 2022
I found Dr. Lam and the whole team at Mt Auburn Radiological Oncology to be caring and engaged yet efficient. Every time I arrived at the office I was greeted by the office staff and techs like a friend. They clearly go out of their way to put patients at ease. Most visits I was taken back for treatment less than 5 minutes after arriving and only waited a few minutes beyond that once when they were short staffed. Dr. Lam is warm and down to earth and explained the therapy in a way that was easy to understand. Anyone who gets radiation treatment does so by necessity but Dr. Lam and her team made the experience as pleasant and stress free as it could possibly be.
