Dr. Yam and the whole team met beyond my expectations. I went in for my first physical at Interlake Medical Center. As I walked in the office, I had an extremely warm welcome by the front desk. I usually have 2 physicals each year at Swedish and Evergreen. However, Dr. Yam went beyond any other doctors I have seen. It was so thorough that I even found out that i have a squished disc on my back from a car accident decades ago. Not one doctor of 10+ years of physicals had told me that. I also found out other new things too. I was shocked to hear and felt that all my previous physicals/doctors were a waste of time and money. All the Medical assistants and Nurses were very very nice and caring. Dr. Yam, made sure I was super checked and taken care of. Dr. Yam also followed up on my lab results, educated me and answered all my questions. All in all, they made sure you leave smarter and healthier about your self.Oh, Dr. Yam also speaks Chinese.

After reviewing Dr. Yam's credentials at the web site of Interlake Medical Center, I made an appointment to see him for my general check-up. I'l especially impressed by the fact that he is a board-certified specialist in both internal medicine and pediatrics, so he can take car of my entire family. He is down to earth and likable. I can recommend him to anyone who needs a good doctor.
