I love Dr. Fan??????? You might have a bit of a wait, but it’s because she is very thorough, and likes to get to know her patients. I always leave her office some small words of wisdom and a smile because she has the best bedside manner.

Verified patient
She’s very good and feeling comfortable with her.
The exam room had carpet, the equipment was so old it was yellowed from age. I was experiencing hormone imbalance from a birth control I was on which had led to several months of extreme anxiety/paranoia, depression, etc. Dr. Fan's actual response (while waving her hand dismissively): "Yeah, yeah, yeah, girls your age experience stuff like that. What do you want me to do?" I asked that she remove the implanted birth control, which she did - after I refused to watch her cut my arm open, she waved the bloody piece of plastic in my face while berating me for being too sensitive. I can't believe this person is allowed to practice any form of medicine. Stay away.
My visit to Dr. Fan was a relief. I am always a little nervous when meeting a new doctor; however, meeting Dr. Fan was a pleasure. She clarified my reason for the visit and asked questions about my medical history. During the interview, Dr. Fan was professional, friendly and informative. The office was comfortable, clean and professional. It is in a convenient location and there is plenty of parking. The office staff was friendly and easy to communicate with regarding the next appointment. I will definitely see Dr. Fan in the future.

I thought Dr Li Fan was super nice and pleasant. She seems very knowledgeable and I'm excited to continue my pregnancy check ups with her. The wait time more of a dissapointment. I was 5 mins late which was my fault, but didn't get seen until 40 mins after my apt time. That was frustrating
