Review for Dr. Bhandari

Truly a Top Doc. Dr. Lamphier is very knowledgeable and helpful. I trust him because he listens and answers questions. He is very concerned about my health needs. He diagnosed an extremely rare condition I have where numerous specialists were not able to do so. I have worked with healthcare...

Review for Dr. Lamphier

Knowledgeable, compassionate, really listens, eases your fears and makes you feel you count. I know I am in good hands, cancer is horrible and he makes it as good as it can be. He is direct but cares.
