Dr. Chan is a superb physician. He is very calm, which is very comforting when your eyesight is at risk. He takes time and explains everything in a way you can understand. I’m grateful.

The doctor was great but the waiting time way too long. In my opinion due to overbooking I had to wait longer than necessary. Over 2 hour wait for 8 minutes with the doctor is inconsiderate of the patient’s time.
