I have been a patient for over 50 years. As a teenager with K W, and then with Steve when he moved his home to this area and began practicing with his father. Never once did I consider changing to another physician, and I have referred my children, their spouses and their children, as well of many personal friends. Everyone fell in love with their warm professional personal care and knowledge. And Steve is eye candy!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Steve Nam for the past several years and couldn't be happier. He is extremely knowledgeable, takes his time with you, explains in detail your bloodwork results, gives a thorough physical exam, and addresses any questions you have. I would highly recommend him to anyone based on my wonderful experience. I have had a great Dr./ patient relationship and am very grateful to have such a wonderful Dr.
