The disturbing record behind one of B.C.’s top billing doctors

“He said he started his days at 4 a.m. and worked nights and weekends because he loved his job in women’s health. His clinic on the top floor of a beige concrete medical building in Surrey, B.C., was so busy that some pregnant women sat on the floor, sometimes waiting up to four hours for their appointments with urine samples in hand. What Dr. Tam’s patients didn’t know was that his high earnings and elevated patient loads were raising troubling questions about his billings and medical care at least as far back as 2010.”
