Make no question about it -- Dr. Lam does top-notch work in whatever procedure he performs -- BUT, and there is a BIG BUT coming -- he does every procedure under the sun including periodontal surgery, bone gafts, root canals, deep cleanings, etc. And he is only a general dentist, not a specialist.
That, in my mind, is what causes the conflict of interest in this mild mannered, highly skilled dentist. He is too aggressive in his treatments -- asking you to perform the highest priced procedures because he shakes his head and tells you something is wrong. You go in for a cleaning, he tells you that you need a deep cleaning. He notices you have slightly swollen gums, and he'll tell you that you need thousands of dollars worth of "oral surgery."
I became so wary of his and his wife's wanton disregard of an ethical treatment plan that I switched.
