I put that I had to wait between 30-60 minutes which I did but it was my own fault because I was really late for my appointment and so I had to wait for the clients that where there on time! This is the second time I have been to Dr. Chan and the second time he was excellent! He takes you in, checks you out and gives you a diagnosis - he is quick, efficient and to the point with an excellent bedside manner. I went in feeling anxious and came out feeling great. I would recommend him to anyone!

He's good but the appointment was 10:15 and I waited until 11:00 to see him and even after i entered the waiting room, I waited another 15 minutes while they were trying to figure out the new computer system. He saw me for half an hour but most of the time was spent trying to figure out the e-prescription. I understand the need to figure out new technology just not on my time.

I made my appointment online at 4am when I realized that my ear infection was getting worse despite my general practioner's prescription. I was seen right away by Dr. Chan who was extremely pleasant and thorough. He looked beyond the ears into my sinuses and throat and deep cleaned my ears so that the new drops can take effect.

Dr Chan explained well, did the procedure gently and painlessly, gave med samples to use. The receptionist was rude, repeating requests several times loudly, while taking on the phone in a personal call. Receptionist Made comments that made me feel that my insurance was not really what they wanted.

Professional, courteous, attentive. My wait was longer than expected but that was the only issue with Dr Chan. I doubt that he regularly keeps patients waiting as it seems there is a constant flow. Dr. Chan spent a good deal of time with me, much more than many other doctors I've been to.
