Dr. Lamba enjoys hitting the golf course outside of clinic! He has golfed all over the United States and in Scotland, England, Thailand, Japan & Hong Kong just to name a few.

Hear what his patients are saying!

“If I were a rich person, I would take out a full page ad in the newspaper and tell the world how great you are. If I were a rich person, I would hire a plane to write across the sky how great you are. If I were a rich person, I would rent a billboard that would tell the world how great you are. Alas, I am not a rich person but I can write a letter that tells how great you are.

This year my husband [Ed] and I will enjoy celebrating our 50th anniversary. It is my firm belief without the care afforded to him, we would not be so lucky.You are a credit to the medical profession as well as mankind. My world has been made better for knowing you.”
