Melinda E Stack's Online Review Report Card

My daughter was diagnosed with melanoma, and after call, after call. Countless hours on the phone w/AltaMed, she was finally referred to Melinda Lamb. What a blessing that was. I called her office and saw the following day. Dr. Lamb thoroughly explained everything in great detail. The appointment for surgery was the following week. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Lamb.

When I write such reviews, I wish Yelp had a feature to increase rating to 7 stars for 1 or 2 reviews per account! Dr. Lamb is an extremely qualified General Surgeon (GS), who helped remove a 15 cm cyst from my thigh. I consulted not less than 20 doctors before her ranging from GP, Urologists, other GS, but none had a clue what the problem was and why it was growing so rapidly (0-15 cm in 14 days!). After 45 days of frustration and the pain, I finally contacted Dr. Lamb after seeing positive reviews. She had a half hour phone consultation, understood and emphasized with my problem, gave me next biz day appointment, identified the problem through MRI & Ultrasound images and reports and examining the formation externally. She diagnosed accurately that this is cyst and put me on urgent surgery in another 48 hrs! The surgery was successful, a culture analysis showed it was benign and post rehab I have completely recovered! Dr. Lamb thank you for your diagnosis, treatment and expertise. You have been an angel to me: my deepest gratitude!

I was 2 weeks postpartum with severe pain. I was referred to see Dr. Lamb for a consultation. Dr. Lamb was thorough, understanding and made sure to answer every question or concern I had. I went ahead and proceeded with my surgery that needed to be done and could not have been more thankful of how smooth and stress free the whole procedure was. Thank you Dr. Lamb!

Dr. Lamb is one of my favorite doctors. She is a kind and caring person who explains everything clearly and welcomes questions, never bothered by the time spent in answering. She is a skilled surgeon who did a thoughtful job of placement of stitches. She has performed surgery on me twice and I would certainly return to her in the future if necessary. I recommend her highly.

So glad I found Dr. Melinda Lamb!Straight forward. I like that. She removed a lipoma I had in my back area, no pain! Everyone from the front office to the surgical team including the anesthesiologist were awesome! Thank you Dr.Lamb for such a positive experience!

I received two missed calls from her office's number, I called back today to see why they had called me as I'm not a patient and have never been to this office. She basically told me I was lying and no one called me and chuckled very rudely as she hung up on me. Not professional as a doctor or a place of business. Attached is further proof of my missed calls, maybe in the future practice actually being kind and professional to patients and non patients, instead of hanging up and being rude say "I'm so sorry I'm not sure why you have a missed call from our office ma'am" instead of the way it was handled!

I have never met Dr Lamb but I HAVE to leave a review. I've been a nurse for 28 years and today, Dr Lamb, on her own time w no charge to me, went over my case which is very complicated and thoroughly explained everything to me and helped me in ways that no other Dr has in the last 18 years! Phenomenal Dr! I wish I could go to her but she recommended a very skilled Dr that specializes in cases such as mine. Amazing! Thank you, Dr Lamb!

Doctor Lamb is the absolute best. Very knowledgeable and kind. She takes the time to walk you through every step (she showed us the x-rays, explained them, and then went into great detail about the operation my husband was going to have). She somehow manages to do everything herself- don't be alarmed when she answers the phone. I thought I called the wrong number at first, but she schedules everything herself and somehow doesn't miss a beat. She is very prompt and even sent my husbands general doctor and employer several letters explaining the procedure and how much time he would need off for work! Excellent surgeon- my husband healed in no time! Highly recommend!!

She is the best. I went to another surgeon before finding her and I felt like I was apart of an assembly line (it was a horrible situation and it's a long story). I found Dr. Lamb when searching for a new surgeon after complaining to my health insurance about the previous. Dr. Lamb was the complete opposite of the first. She was personable, spent time explaining to me one on one how everything would go and the entire procedure. She took her time and didn't make me feel rushed at all during any of the appointments. It was my first surgery and I was scared and felt an entire array of emotions during that time but she made me feel at peace and safe. She is the only surgeon I feel comfortable with going under and operating on my body. I would highly recommend her, she is genuine and very intelligent. Thank you again Dr. Lamb-Kassandra
