Dear patients and friends,
Please help us welcome Dr. Summer Lam to The Biemer Clinic! Dr. Lam will be joining us in January 2025. With a strong commitment to empowering patients with the knowledge and support necessary to make informed health decisions, Dr. Lam has dedicated her career to providing comprehensive and compassionate care and helping patients navigate the complexities of health and the healthcare system.
Born and raised in Honolulu, Dr. Lam graduated magna cum laude from the University of Hawaii with dual Bachelor's degrees in Biology and Dance. She pursued her medical degree at the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii, where she developed a passion for internal medicine due to its intellectual challenges and the opportunity to build lasting, trusting relationships with her patients.
After relocating to Oregon in 2005, Dr. Lam completed her Internship and Residency at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, where Dr. Biemer first met her as an instructor. Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, she has been practicing in the Portland area for over 20 years. Her professional journey includes prior roles at The Portland Clinic, Providence Medical Group in Newberg, and AIM Health.
Dr. Lam chose to join The Biemer Clinic to practice in an environment that allows her to deliver the highest quality care. Her approach is centered on listening to her patients and collaboratively developing personalized treatment plans. Her knowledge and experience include management of many chronic health conditions that piqued her interest in preventive medicine and healthy aging, including an interest in helping women navigate menopause.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Lam cherishes time with her husband, son, and daughter. Together, they enjoy hiking, cycling, cooking, traveling, and playing board games. In her personal time, Dr. Lam also enjoys playing the piano and watching performance dance whenever she can. Dr. Lam is dedicated to making a positive impact in her patients' lives and supporting them through their healthcare journey with expertise and empathy.
For our patients, please understand that we will continue to run the practice collaboratively as a group. In other words all patients are shared by the providers and patients may choose to see any provider they wish.
