Dr. Lama really cares about his patients. He listens and also explains things until you understand. He is very thorough and has a wonderful bedside manner. I would recommend him in a second to anyone needing his expertise.

Dr Lama has treated me through 15 hospitalization over the last 30+ years. His early diagnosis of a kidney disease was why I am still using a healthy pair of kidneys, more than 15 years after the standard prognosis of ESRF time. A real "physician's physician."

Dr Lama is the kindest doctor I have ever visited, and although I was only scheduled for one appointment, I made him my primary because of the great care I recieved. He was kind, and his staff was welcoming and caring. There was hardly a wait in his office, and when he examined me, I knew he did a good job. He was polite, and courteous, and I felt like I had known everyone in the office for years after just one visit.
