Review for Dr. Fagan

Dr. Tan listens to my concerns, explains in detail my options and allows me to make decisions .

Apr 23 2025

Review for Dr. Tan

Physician did not perform history or physical examination. Physician administered an IV medication that interacts with medication the patient takes and can cause serious bleeding; she did this prior to knowing or asking for a current med list. Physician had a condescending demeanor.

Review for Dr. Arre

He is straightforward and direct which is what I prefer in a physician.

Review for Dr. Farabaugh

Dr. Pickering was just terrific. She went way beyond and above any optermologist I have seen in a long while. She was so caring because I didn't get terrific news. I am so grateful to her. We need more people like her.
