“The office is efficiently run and I was seen on time. Vrays were taken right away. Dr. Tan is very kind and patiently answered all of my questions. He thoughtfully explained what he saw on the x-rays and treatment options. I appreciated the time he took and I still made it out to arrive in the office before 9 am!”

Awesome doctor
Verified patient
What I Liked most was that all the members oi his staff listened to what I had to say and my choices and how I felt on radiation and other medications. It was not "Doctors Orders" But "Doctors Suggestions" to his decisions on how to treat the challenges that I am having. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the procedures and gave me the choice on how I wanted to proceed. Should all Doctors be like him.
