    He was very nice and very helpful in explaining about my condition. He also explained that he would continue to follow me in terms of blood tests so that he would be able to let me know if anything needed to be done.

    Dr. Lam has been on this kidney disease journey with me since 2008. You could not ask for a smarter, kinder, more compassionate doctor if you tried. The whole medical profession can take a leaf from his book in competence, caring, and available when you need him.... or when you panic!
