    Dr. Lamar is gentle, thorough and very kind. I feel cared for in her hands.
    Mar 30, 2025
    Let me put it this way - I got a new job and enrolled with a new insurance provider, researched to find an East Bay clinic affiliated with UCSF Health, and made an appt and requested a referral from my PCP all for the sole purpose of Dr. Lamar being my provider again for my dysplasia. Her patient education skills, demeanor, and compassion is unmatched.

    I could not be more satisfied with Dr. Lamar. I love her as a provider. She is kind, a great listener and very competent. I always leave the appointment dealing very comfortable with the game plan we have put in place.

    I absolutely love my Doctor. I feel so lucky and privileged to be her patient. She is sweet, caring, informative, has amazing people skills and I feel safe while being under her care. She took me under her wings after my previous Doctor retired and I couldn't be happier Amazing provider. If we had more doctors like that , world would be a better place.

    The one thing that I had wished is for the care provider to discuss thoroughly the next steps, the after procedure and follow up
    Feb 14, 2025
    Dr Lamar was by far the best gyn provider I have ever seen. She showed so much care and concern for me and took her time to explain the procedure in detail. I was very nervous and she helped put me at ease.

    An exceptionally knowledgeable and caring provider along with extremely high emotional intelligence.
    Dec 13, 2024
    The provider made of point of making me feel comfortable during the entire appointment. On top of her outstanding attentive listening skills, she made me feel safe and respected by explaining to me: why I needed this visit, each single step of the process, the potential outcome of the pathology and what treatment options I had. I also really appreciated that she was giving me a heads-up before making physical contact with me, and giving me options to choose alternative methods to manage the pain of the procedure.

    Dr. Lamar is truly an angel on Earth. I have a history of significant medical ob-gyn trauma, and her extraordinary patience, reassurance, compassion, generosity, and communication skills are beyond imagining. She is an absolute wonder.
    Nov 15, 2023
    Dr Robyn was awesome but the last 2 visits has been so rushed! This is my first baby and am above 35, and I hoped she would listen to me more!

    I dive 3.5 hours (each way) to see Dr. Lamar. She is so worth the drive. She is not only an excellent physician, she is also an amazing listener, and supports me emotionally (she recognizes the emotional impact my condition causes me and helps me stay positive). I feel very lucky to have her as my specialist.

    Dr Lamar is wonderful!!!
    Jun 03, 2023
    Dr. Lamar is always thorough, collaborative, and thoughtful in her approach. Her style is warm, and is she always takes as much time as needed to address all of my concerns and questions, explaining her reasoning from an evidence-based perspective (or being transparent when the evidence is lacking). I fully trust her judgment and feel so well cared for by her.
