David Kam
"I met Dr Kam on my first consultation. He was very pleasant and took the time to answer all my questions. The clinic scheduled my consultation and I drove two hours to get there and half way there was called and told Dr. Kam had an emergency and had to leave. I was upset to say the least, took the afternoon off my job and drove 2 hours, daughter also took off work to go with me. The nurse on the other end must have heard my frustration and said she would see if she could get him to return to see me. She called me back and said it would be two hours later, but he would return for me. I was so thankful! The first consultation is so "premature" because you are "hoping" to be approved for surgery, so the actual questions that come into your head are different, than the questions you have once you know the surgery is really going to happen. I have my preadmission testing on Tuesday and hoped to see him (Dr Kam)again to discuss the surgery, but they say another physician will be there to answer questions. Evidentally, Dr Jones does the reviews before the surgery. My only recommendation would be to meet with the surgeon before you have the actual surgery, not the day of surgery. I don't think you feel you know the physician with one visit. The office staff seemed nice, although it was a little unorganized that day, the worker I was supposed to talk to (who also had the surgery) had to leave early, so I wasn't able to talk to her. Again, I think it makes you feel more comfortable when you talk to someone who has had the surgery. I feel very confident that the Batrix Clinic, staff and Dr. Kam will be great and my surgery (scheduled for the 6th of Sept) will be successful. I am anxiouslly awaiting the date."
