My first appointment with Dr Kam was to diagnose and provide treatment options. He went over my xrays and offered several options. I went with the anti inflammatory treatment. This did offer some relief, I returned for a cortisone injection. To my surprise and Dr Kam’s skill, the injection was painless and the results amazing. Within days I had full range of motion. It now has been 6 weeks and I remain pain free. I would highly recommend Dr Kam to anyone with shoulder problems.

I did not care for the initial visit with PA Christopher. I felt rushed out and he threw a few splints and said which one would rather wear. Dr Kam took tins explained things to be I understood and was very gentle. The first couple pay was processed and I had a payment but then I was told I owed it. I spoke with “Rose” I believe and when I sent my receipts in they cleared it up. If needed I would go back

I had pain in both shoulders. I had done some landscaping at home and overdid it. I had the pain for over a month and it was severe at times. I couldn't sleep well, the pain would wake me often at night. Dr Kam diagnosed my injury and gave me an injection in my right shoulder which removed most of my pain and discomfort almost immediately. The following week Doctor Kam did the proceedure on my left shoulder. Dr. Kam hit the bullseye with both injections and my shoulders have not felt this good since I was a teenager. Thank you Doctor Kam.
