Philip Phan Lam, DO

My care philosophy is centered around patient education and communication, such that patients feel empowered and included in the decisions regarding their care.

I endeavor to provide empathic and compassionate care. Patients usually come to see a vascular surgeon after they have been told about a limb or life-threatening problem. I listen to their concerns, try to comfort them and treat them like a family member. I strive to provide individualized care to every patient. In Vascular Surgery, many options exist for management of a disease process. My goal is to present all the options and recommend the “best” treatment option for my patients. During the process, I make sure that a 2-way communication is maintained so that they understand every aspect of their care.

My practice is patient centered. I believe it's important to educate and include my patients in the decisions regarding their health, while providing them with both physical and emotional support.
