More about Dr. Jackson Kuan, MD
Dr. Kuan graduated high school with top honors and was accepted to the school of Arts and Sciences of New York University studying Biochemistry and Mathematics. After graduating from NYU in June of 1980, Dr. Kuan procured a research associate position at Rockefeller University, New York City. His primary studies targeting the purification of antigens from bee, wasp, and yellow jacket venoms , inducing antibodies in animal models, and amino acid sequencing of these proteins, and subsequently determining their cross reactivity. This work sparked his interest in medicine, and he proceeded to apply for admission to medical school in the fall of 1981. In the spring of 1982, he was accepted to Albany Medical College of Union University where he received his medical degree in May of 1986. Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine occurred at Roosevelt Hospital from June, 1986 to June, 1989. During his PGY 2 and PGY 3 years, Dr. Kuan was awarded the best Resident of the year. Believing that additional training was essential, he then went on to a Gastroenterology fellowship at the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center from July of 1989 to June of 1991. Prior to graduation from fellowship training, he was pursued by his Department Chairman, Dr. Eugene Strauss, to remain as one of the faculty members; however, Dr. Kuan knew there was a need of Mandarin speaking Gastroenterologistsin Flushing, NY and declined the offer.

June 4, 2016Dwight D.Verified patient
Dr. Kuan spoke to me for max 5 minutes. Spoke to his assistant for most of the appointment.
I raised concerns regarding a relapse of an infection, but the assistant assured me that it probably wasn't what was causing my issues. 2 weeks later after being in severe pain (during which I called Dr. Kuan's office and once again the assistant told me not to worry and keep taking the medicine they prescribed), I got tested again for the infection and it came out positive.
Also, it turns out that the medicine I was prescribed by Dr. Kuan was widely used to mediate what I had, but not recommended as a treatment.
To top it off, the receptionist was rude almost every single time I called. Also, don't bother waiting for a follow up call, calling in yourself is more effective.

I first met with the PA Lena, who was very nice and patient, and took a long time to explain the pathology of disease. My actual meeting with the doctor was very brief, maybe 5 minutes. I was disappointed that neither him nor the PA physically examined me or offer detailed thoughts on my symptoms. He did not give possible diagnoses. He merely advised me to get an endoscopy first. Dr. Kuan seemed nice and charismatic, but I wish he explained to me more things in detail and spent more time as opposed to having me discuss with the PA during the initial visit. In my past experiences, the doctor usually spends more time with the patient. I hope that follow-up visits are not relegated entirely to the PA.

I had an endoscopy by Dr. Kuan. At the office I had a general consultation about my health with his PA, who was very professional and immediately scheduled the procedure for me. I saw Dr. Kuan after the procedure. It was a quick meeting, but he was very professional and explained everything in a clear and concise manner.

No conclusion for my condition and not given any direction to turn to after endoscopy, ultrasound, blood tests and urine tests. The endoscopy went very well procedure-wise - painless, professional, but no appropriate place to recoup and come out of anesthesia at a fair pace. It was almost "wake up, get up and go". My condition is still extreme and inconclusive.

this is my first visit. over all pleasant visit. front desk very kind. and doctor Kuan is very polite, nice and professional. He also did the procedure for me after the consultation, his professional manner and experience let me feel very peaceful without fear to the procedure. any time if needed I still choose this doctor.

Staff was friendly office was clean, not over crowded.Dr. Kuan was clear and informative I will be completing a procedure with him the very next day after my initial appointment and will be following up for treatment.
August 24, 2015Mrs Z.Verified patient
Prompt to keep appointment. Professional office staff in both office. Excellent instructions. Made sure I understood what had to be done. Excellent experience at actual colonoscopy. Though busy, the receptionist and Doctor Kuan were attentive, caring and professional. All my questions were patiently answered, actual procedure well done, This knowing Dr. is the one you want to do your colonoscopy and see you through if you have problems that need follow up care.

I recently saw another gastroenterologist for a small problem I've been having and he recommended for both an endoscopy and colonoscopy without much explanation. I felt uncomfortable, so my friend recommended Dr. Kuan. The office was clean and very modern. The front desk was attentive. I was first seen by his Physician Assistant who was very nice and took time listening to my problem. Then I met Dr. Kuan who offered a much more reasonable solution and explained everything that we needed to do. Definitely recommend him!
Tip: no wait time today! (probably because it's a weekday)

Dr.Kuan is an excellent physician. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. He explains my problems in a simply way that I could understand easily. He is very caring and listens to your problem, and most importantly he doesn't not rush patients. The receptionists are also very nice. I highly recommend this gastroenterology office.
