We instantly liked Dr Lam when we went to see him while I was still pregnant. He was very clear on his vision and stated clearly our options for Ultan's treatment plan and how important it was for us to wait and meet Ultan before deciding on which treatment to follow.
His history involved being Chief Plastic Surgeon at Queen Mary Hospital where part of his role was cleft repairs. Now, he has a private practice and although I was initially worried about him not having much access to cleft babies, Dr Lam travels to China to preform repairs as well as having private cleft patients.
I feel extremely comfortable with Dr Lam performing Ultan's surgery. As much as we have admired his past work, we are also going with our gut feeling as parents that Dr Lam is the best surgeon for us.
Not sure how I feel about the surgery. As a parent I have bonded with my Son. I have fallen in love with his wide smile. It is almost as if I am going through a grieving process for having to let go of Ultan's first smile!
To quote Dr Lam "Babies are always fine, Mammies not so much"!
