Ratings for Dr. Wendy Lam
3.2
She's amazing and is open to her patients ideas about trying other treatments and natural ways to help treat cancer
Dr Lam treats me like a person and not just a patient. When you have cancer, it takes over your entire world. And that sucks. Everything is cancer, you're so stuck in cancerland all the time and it's so all encompassing and it feels like it never ends. But even though Dr Lam is my oncologist and we talk about treatment, she also talks to me like I am another person. She talks to me like I am a human being. And I cannot tell you how important that is because she asks about things I like and my hobbies and she talks to me as if she believes that I have a future after cancer. She's never said that outright and I know that no doctor can say anything for certain when it comes to a cancer diagnosis. But she makes me feel like I'm not just a cancer patient, not just another number in the medical system, not just another log in her medical record, and I cannot tell you how much that means to me. And for anybody who tries to say "well she doesn't treat you as a patient that's bad", she also takes my concerns seriously as a patient and is very meticulous in my treatment plan and I am now cancer free. She is an excellent doctor and an excellent human.
Fantastic Doctor..not rushed..articulate..feeling very good that she is my doctor...Very busy and hardworking..
Dr. Wendy Lam is an incredible oncologist for my mother, whose health was rapidly declining towards the end of last year. Since beginning her cancer treatments under Dr. Lam's care, my mother's condition has stabilized, allowing her to resume activities she enjoys, like dining out with family and friends and spending time with her granddaughters. When seeing Dr. Lam at appointments, it doesn't feel like just a quick check up and prescription pick up. Dr. Lam takes the time to talk to my mother, offers encouragement and genuinely shows excitement over a good bloodwork result. If there is a silver lining in this ordeal, it is that there are wonderful doctors like Dr. Lam treating my mom through these difficult times.
Horrible experience with Dr Lam. Very forgetful. Gave me a diagnosis and sent me for a spleen ultrasound. Next visit she gave me the same diagnosis and told me i need an ultrasound. I told her i already did it and she didn't remember or have the results. She was eating during two of our appointments. After pandemic I went back for an in person appointment and she asked if this was the first time we met? I finally have a new Doctor. He gave me more information in one visit than I had from five appointments with Dr Lam. I had zero confidence in her. Hopefully she pays more attention to patients who are super sick.
No compassion for life. No bedside manner. When she's put under pressure she advises she's busy with other patients and avoids questions. She's lazy and your recommendations don't count because she doesn't want to do the paperwork. Hey Fraser Health she's there for a paycheque not people's lives. Find someone with empathy and put people first!
Miss phone appointment without notice , So rude and inrespect to patient! Can not believe she is a Doctor.
I have only had one visit with Dr. Wendy Lam so far and the experience was good. She thoroughly questioned me on symptoms and after an extensive questioning. She decided we were cut to the chase and go for a bone marrow biopsy. I appreciated the directness
Worse doctor ever, no bedside manner. Only seen me once and said everything is okay with my condition and to live without treatment.
