Dr. Andrew Lam, MD

I was very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Andrew Lam after a hole developed on my retina. He quickly diagnosed the serious problem and clearly explained what had to be done. The operation went very smoothly and he guided me through my recovery which went very well. I was surprised that I had no pain through the whole process and my eye healed completely.

Dr. Lam became my go-to ophthalmologist/surgeon after a detached retina necessitated emergency surgery. He was able to clarify the complexities of what had happened, as well as the follow-up care. The procedure and its aftermath were anxiety-inducing. But Dr. Lam was able to access the situation and proceed in a way that, in less capable hands, might--as I later learned--have resulted in blindness. It wasn't until my final visit when I discovered just how dire my diagnosis was, and how disastrous the outcome might have been. Finally, just by chance, I discovered that Dr. Lam had been mentored by a family friend at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia. When I asked Jody Seymour-Pitzer if she had heard of Dr. Lam, she assured me that I was in the best of hands. Thank you, Dr. Lam, for your extraordinary level of care.

Had a very good experience with Dr. Lam. He was awesome. He did surgery on my right eye, and I regained my sight in that eye. He answered all my questions professionally and courteously. I would highly recommend to everyone. Thank you Dr. Lam. Kathleen M. Elliott

I was referred to Dr. Lam by the Berkshire Eye Center when I presented after hours with a Retinal Detachment. I was immediately seen in his office on a Sunday night and scheduled for surgery the following day at Bay State Medical Center. The surgery was performed without incident and my recovery and outcome was textbook excellent. Dr. Lam was superb in all aspects of this event, and I highly recommend his skills along with his staff for their attention to detail.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Lam; he's amazing. In my late 40's I am very young to be experiencing such serious eye issues as 2 partially detached retinas in 8 months! Without my full sight I cannot continue my livelihood as a practicing attorney. Dr. Lam was there for me; I felt so comfortable with him. He is confident, knowledgeable, got right to the problem and had the immediate solution I needed. AND, that evening he scheduled emergency surgery for me! He could have gone home, but instead after being in surgery in the morning and then seeing patients all afternoon he made a special trip back to the hospital to perform my surgery. Having to be awake for the surgery was difficult, but Dr. Lam talked me through every step, praising my efforts and letting me know how things went. I am truly forever grateful to Dr. Lam, will sing his praises to anyone who will listen, and HIGHLY recommend him to every patient with a retinal issue. Thank You Dr. Lam for allowing me the gift of continued sight!

Several years ago, I was treated for a detached retina by Dr. Lam, He performed the necessary surgery and successfully restored my sight. Since that time, he has monitored my retinas and performed laser procedures on other weak areas. Dr. Lam is a highly skilled professional, who has always treated me with kindness and compassion. He takes the time to explain everything and make a scary situation less frightening. I highly recommend Dr. Lam and New England Retina.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Lam; he saved the sight in my right eye. He was confident, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in his specialty. He made a very scary situation more comfortable by managing expectations and providing all the information I needed to make an informed decision. He made sure I was seen immediately when I needed to, and his office was very accommodating with follow up appointments. I will recommend him to everyone I know! Thank You!

I went to see Dr Lam with a Detached Retina basically blind in that eye. Dr Lam went over in detail what happen to me, procedure (surgery) needed to fix the problem and the expected results I could expect. I had the surgery, everything went smoothly after 3 months I have regain my sight! Many Thanks Dr Lam

DR Andrew Lam is an extraordinary and highly skilled Dr. He is patient focused, with great communication skills. Making sure that patients understand first what has happened, and what his recommendation is for treatment. During this process, he takes time to explain, to listen and answer any questions you may have. His office is run with an efficiency not often seen these days. Excellent Care!

Dr. Lam is an excellent surgeon and communicator. Would recommend him highly!

I was very pleased with the good care I received following a recent torn retina. Dr Lam is a kind and gentle doctor, and his skills as a surgeon are most impressive. The staff were also helpful, and there's even a real person who answers the phone!!

The only knock I have is that Dr. Lam only spends a few minutes with the patient. He answers questions quickly and easily. I would recommend him to anyone. Dr. Lam is very competent and efficient.
