​Patient Testimonials:

"I want to send you [Dr. Tam] my upmost gratitude for all you do for me.  You are [sic] such a kind compassionate caring soul. During these trying times in the US today and the news I will be losing my food share funds like all the rest of the people is so alarming.  Knowing that I have you, my physician who is vastly superior to most physicians out there.  You actually truly care about my health and well being feels like a calming warm blanket in a tremendous terrifying time.  Thank you with all my heart."

"Dr. Tam helped me understand my illness and locate a therapist nearby for the Perrin Technique.  Unfortunately, my high-deductible insurance left me a huge debt.

MECFS Clinic MN paid off the rest of the bill with the help of my therapist and her clinic, my coworkers, friends and family.  I can finally see at the end of the tunnel.  With the treatments, I have improved from barely functioning to getting housework done and have started reading again, one of my greatest passions and favorite pastimes....  Thank you to the MECFS Clinic MN, my therapist's clinic, those who have donated to my medical bills, Dr. Tam, and my OC therapists for for helping me on this healing journey."
