An amazing Doctor! We have no way of truly thanking her! She is straight forward, gives you as much of her time as you need and makes you laugh which is very important in a time of high stress!!!! The Eugene Carson Family.

Dr. Tam is a wonderful, no-nonsense doctor, who has an excellent bed side manner and tells it like it is. It's scarey in the hospital, but I felt safe in her excellent capable hands.

This doctor is very unprofessional. She seems too preoccupied and overwhelmed to take time for me. My health is something I take very seriously and she ignored my concerns and seemed to just brush me off.
