Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Chan is definitely one of my fathers best doctors. He has treated my fathers chronic disease for a long time. Dr Chan is very knowledgeable and personable. He has always treated my dad with the utmost attention and care. Without Dr Chan’s care, I don’t think my dad would be around now. I highly recommend Dr Chan.

Dr. Chan is the best. I’ve been a patient of his for several years now and he is everything a great doctor should be: wise, caring, thoughtful and takes the time necessary to explain the situation to you in terms you can understand. But most important of all, he has that #1 quality every doctor should have, which is HE LISTENS to you, never making you feel rushed just so he can get to the next patient in line. He is a first-rate physician and I would highly recommend his practice to anyone.

Very poor attitude and rushed through my visit. All he was doing was yelling at his staff and projecting his anger about something to me and other people. He tried very hard to steer me to another pharmacy for my sensipar medication.
