Did you know?
In her free time, Dr. Chu Lam enjoys spending time with her husband and family, whether it's sharing a meal, exploring new places, or simply enjoying each other's company. She loves staying active on the tennis court, hitting a scenic hiking trail, or biking around to take in the fresh air. She's always on the hunt for the next best restaurant in town and never pass up the chance to try something new. She enjoys traveling, especially when it means visiting her family in Panama, where she can relax on the beach, soak up the sun, and reconnect with her roots.
My greatest strength in interacting with patients is my ability to treat each person as if they were my own family. I believe in clear and compassionate communication, taking the time to answer questions and explain treatment options in a way that makes sense to them.
