Dr. Lamb seemed a bit rushed this time, anxious to move on to someone else or deal with an issue not connected with my visit. This is not typical of my previous visits with him.

Dr Lamb is such a careful caring Dr. He comes to the waiting room to get me, does all the vitals , ( doesn't use a health aide or nurse, ) and talks about everything with me. He understands my history especially the losses of my 2 sons, and husband. He goes over everything in my chart. Nurse only came to give me 2 vaccinations.

Dr Lamb was matched with me as my PCP at MV Hospital after we moved full time to the Island 3+ years ago. We initially kept our care provider team in Concord, Mass.but decided to go on the wait list for a local PCP. My wife and I were given Dr Lamb shortly thereafter and have been impressed by his thoroughness, caring, referrals and prompt response. We are lucky to have him on the Island. I don't want him to retire or move !!

Not to be picky, but it would be good if the receptionists showed up on time I was supposed to be there at 7:45 they didn't come until about five minutes to 8. Other patients were there too. They complained about traffic or at least one of them did but they both had takeout food..
