Dr Lamb performed a cervical fusion on me in 2009. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome or the manner in which I was treated by him. He and his staff were courteous. professional and the day after the surgery he visited me in the hospital and spent almost 40 minutes talking with me. The person in the bed next to me thought he was a relative and couldn't believe when I told him he was my surgeon. Recently I had an issue that I assumed was related to the area of the surgery due to similar symptoms. I saw my primary physician and he felt I needed to see Dr Lamb Asap. When I called the office and explained who I was, that I had previous cervical surgery and my symtoms, the person said "Oh, we need to get you in here right away". They had me scheduled in the next day or the following. When I saw Dr Lamb he treated me like an old friend. He had me setup for tests right away. What I would have sworn to be a neck problem turned out to be a severe case of carpal tunnel which I have since had surgery for and are well on my way to recovering from. I'm surprised by some of these negative reveiws. He was the same old Dr Lamb to me who could not have been nicer or more professional. I have realized after other surgeries that, I needed the surgery for a reason. Something was either broken or not right and just like aging your body isn't as good as it once was. You need to have realistic expectations of the outcomes of the surgery. I do have nerve damage that the surgery wasn"t able to repair but atleast I am able to function and do activities that I would never have been able to do again if it wasn't for Dr Lamb and his amazing surgical skills. I am forever greatful to him for giving me my active life back and will continue to refer family and friends to him.

*PLEASE READ* Dr. DAVID Lamb is ACCUSATORY, ASSUMPTIVE, DISMISSIVE, RUDE AND UNCARING. Shame on you, Dr. David Lamb, the principle of beneficence is the obligation of physician to act for the BENEFIT of the patient. Perhaps you need some sensitivity training?

Dr Lamb did my spinal fusion surgery however when I had issues again he pushed me off to another quack. So I went out of network to a Morristown Dr who spent many hours, CT and MRI scans and X-rays to find a FAILED spinal fusion which caused many other level issues. Surgery needed to fix additional issues and redo the fusion with 6 months in hard brace. Must be monitored for 2 years after surgery. Dr Lamb doesn’t see you once he does surgery.

Awful experience all the way around. ZERO STARS. I was referred by a colleague in the field and when I was finished with my appointment you bet I gave an earful how it went with how it went with Dr. Lamb. Arrogant, DISMISSIVE, poor bedside manner. Told me he can’t help me after waiting 2 hours to see him and to see another specialist then walked out of the room without even saying goodbye
telling me his staff would follow up with me regarding a prior authorization for testing - that was 2 months ago. Never heard from anyone. Finally got an MRI from somewhere else that says I have spinal stenosis. He’s a quack….I wouldn’t bring my dog there. Should be working at the Home Depot not in patient care.

Waste of money and time- I had visited Dr. David J Lamb for neck and spine pain. He did not want to resolve both issues in the first visit. I was recommended to get MRI in the first visit. My insurance company denied the approval. I had to call the staff and their office multiple times for the follow up of my MRI approval. Once their office came to know that I will not be getting MRI in their facility they lost their interest in my case. They failed to follow up with my insurance company for peer-to-peer discussion to get the approval of my MRI. As a result I am left with no treatment and ongoing neck & spine pain. Their office and the doctor did not follow up with me. Also, no bedside manners . I had to pay the bill for my first visit and it was complete wastage of time & money. As a result I will be going to another orthopedics. I will never be going to this doctor and their facility as they are only interested in money and not quality care. Not recommended

He cured my stenosis. For the first time in.nine years, I am walking without that terrible numbness in my right leg and groin. No more cane — I can stand and walk for long periods again.

Poor bedside manner, walks out when he cannot diagnose the problem, passes you off to other specialties without briefing them. A good surgeon is curious. Unfortunately, Dr. Lamb lacks that quality. I cannot recommend him. One of the most awful experiences that I have had with a Dr.

Dr. Lamb was great to me. He fixed my back years ago and he just fixed my neck and I feel great. He treated me no differently even tho I'm on WC. Highly recommend.

I waited for a long time to see him like 3 hours . I have neck pain from herniations and bursted discs, he just said I am not a candidate for surgery, good bye nothing he can do for me no advice and I was scooted out in a flash. He's real arrogant once he knows you are a workers comp patient. Says my MRIs are a lie nothing there to see so oh well.
