Patient Reviews
Sep 16, 2023
Dr. Lam fenestrated a large cyst in my daughter's brain with the acumen of a master. She also performed the surgery without placing a stent, which can cause life-threatening infection. My child started walking and talking six weeks later, her intracranial pressure reduced, and her CSF began to flow normally again. She was 17 months old at the time. As far as I am concerned, Dr. Lam saved my child's life.
