Dr. Tristan Toll Lai, MD

Dr Lai took care of me while I was on active duty. Very competent and intelligent. He recommended that I do not take opiates due to the harm they could've caused me. You can't please everyone but he's great. I agree with the prior post. Beware quacks who throw narcotics at you and do procedures that are unnecessary. This doctor is not one of those quacks. See him with confidence. Thanks Dr Lai!

He is very unimpressive doctor. Or a better word "Quack"! He works through a program that he evaluates pain patients from other military instillations without EVER meeting them or having acess to their full medical records. He didn't even have my diagnosis. But, then recommended ALL the same treatment plans that had failed in previous years. Then, gave a recommendation that I need to stop ALL pain medication. My original diagnosis came from Texas Tech University from 2 of the leading pain doctors in the industry. And from the Mayo Clinic. I have had every pain procedure, injection, and medication out there. But, I went along with another military Quack doctor & let him discuss my case with this quack ( Dr. Lai), thinking maybe something "New" could be available. In the end, Dr Lai's "quacky" recommendation scared my doctor into being afraid to write my prescription for pain. Hey Dr. Lai, I hope you read this.. maybe you will be responsible for a legitimate pain… patients death. Now THATS helping them!

Dr. Lai is a wonderful and caring Pain Doctor. I wish he was in private practice instead of the military healthcare system. The lower ratings for appointments & promptness is directed towards BAMC and their very long wait schedule.
