Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam was fabulous! I truly enjoyed her outlook, focus on her patient's wellbeing, and the tranquility of her office. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommending her.

Fantastic experience: Dr Kathy Lam is a great Dentist. She is very personable and professional. She is located in Wheaton,ill and I would recommend her for anyone no matter what their age.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday was my 1st dental appointment with Dr. Lam. The office is clean, welcoming, & cozy. Dr Lam is very professional, capable, & personable. She is easy to talk to & totally vested in her patients, their dental care, & their well-being. She cleaned my teeth herself, which is an anomaly in this day & age, as well as taking dental xrays herself! My teeth are squeaky clean with no cavities, even though it was past time for my appointment! She also found an easy solution to simplify my husband's followup care that surfaced due to an unavoidable glitch because his is more unique than mine. We anticipate that it should be resolved very soon & are waiting for her to contact us. I have been looking for new dentists for us both for over 2 years now. I am very happy to have found Dr Lam & feel confident that this positive experience will continue as we move forward with our family's dental care.
Fantastic experience: I always leave the office of Dr. Lam feeling that my dental health has been adequately and professionally taken care of in a concerned and caring way. This dentist just knows the right things to say and do to have the patient feel at ease as she seriously stresses the importance of proper care of the teeth. Dr Lam's genuine smile is not just from the lips, but from the sincerity reflected in her eyes. I truly respect this outstanding accomplished dentist.
Fantastic experience: What a great experience! Dr Lam works on her own vs having an office full of staff. I found every step of the process to very personable and less automated which I prefer. She's also a pleasure to chat with during appointments!
Fantastic experience: My appointment with Dr. Lam was very good. She was timely, explained everything about the condition of my teeth and did a great job cleaning them. Furthermore she gave me a complete explanation of what dental work should be done to prevent further deterioration of my gum health. I will be having the work done by her soon.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam is wonderful! She is very caring, compassionate and down to earth. She has strong values and work ethic. I would recommend her very strongly!!! Really cares about her patients.
Fantastic experience: First time visit. Dr Lam was very friendly, took her time and did not rush the appt. She did a gentle job cleaning my teeth.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience visiting Dr. Lam with my son this afternoon! She was so friendly that she made us feel like we were visiting her home. Her energy and charisma are what the medical field is lacking. My teeth are so clean that I was hesitant to eat anything! I am grateful that I took action on the referral I received, as otherwise, I would have been waiting and hoping for another dentist to work out. Thank you, Dr. Lam, for giving us a reason to come back!

Fantastic experience: I just had my first visit with Kathy and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in she made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and was incredibly thorough without making anything feel rushed. On top of being clearly skilled, she was also just genuinely kind and personable—something that’s not always easy to find. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great dentist who really cares about their patients.

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Dr. Lam and as usual a great experience. Her office is clean and comfortable. I was impressed with the big monitors in the room that show xrays right away. Dr. Lam goes over what she sees and offers her recommendation. I appreciate the qualtiy time that is spent with her. She is honest, respectful and so pleasant to talk to. I can tell she is truly concerned about her patients health. She offers great tips and suggestions on what to do and how to do it. She does it all so it is done right! My cleaning felt great and she is detailed! When I leave it feels like a "reset" until my next 6 mo visit.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam is amazing!! I came by strong recommendation from several people and I can see why. She is seriously just passionate about dental health which I feel is rare in a dentist / doctor these days. She's super detailed and answered my questions and concerns. I have a cavity that needs to be filled and she used a little camera to show me what it looks like and the plan of care for it! She's also very friendly and easy to talk to. I will come back for sure and will ditch the big corporate dental companies I used to go to.

Fantastic experience: This is my first dentist visit in nearly 4 years as I don't really go. Kathy welcomed me with open arms as a new patient and it was by far the best experience at a dental office. I felt comfortable, not something often brought up getting your teeth worked on! I had needed a check up, exam, and had a small chip in my front tooth. She took care of me and gave me awesome tips for healthier teeth and gums. I'll be seeing Kathy in 6 months. If you need a dentist, it's Kathy.

Fantastic experience: Kathy Lam is very knowledgeable and cares greatly about her patients. She takes time to explain everything that needs to be done and is very thorough. I'm very satisfied with the treatment I receive from her. I appreciate her honesty and the fact that she will perform her job to the best of her ability, but she also expects her patients to do their part in between visits and she clearly explains what that is unique to each patient.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam is wonderful! I love how caring and professional she is.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lam is great at her skill. I travel all the way from near south side just to continue to keep her as my dentist. I was a part of this practice since elementary- middle school when it belong to Dr. Dale.Although I was skeptical in the beginning (as most are when change occurs), I decided to give her a try and it was the best decision I could’ve done. Even though it’s a drive, I would much rather travel far for someone so kind, precise, and genuinely cares about my overall health (not just my teeth), than switching to another practice for convenience. She is passionate about what she does which makes it much more comforting for a teeth cleaning or a root canal. Whether old to the practice or looking for a new one, I strongly suggest you put your trust in Dr. Lam and see what she’s all about! You won’t be disappointed, anxious or hurt after your visit! And let’s not forget about the staff! Perfect smiles over here.
Fantastic experience: Dr Lam is patient and kind. She is a wonderful dentist that truly cares for each patient as if they are her family.
