About Jennifer Tam, OD
I knew at an early age that I wanted to help others; what better way than to give another person the gift of sight? I believe that everyone is an individual with different needs and feel it is important to listen to the patient in order to address their concerns. I strive to provide thorough, compassionate and personalized care to my patients. When I am away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, scrapbooking, photography and Zumba.

I have only been seen by an ophthalmologist for the last 20years and was satisfied with his care, until I met with Dr Jennifer Tam. Her knowledge and professionalism was second to none and put my previous doctor to shame. So pleased to have Dr Tam as my doctor
