Initial contact, analysis, diagnosis and treatment in the same appointment. Dr. Chan gave me a complete understanding of my condition, and patiently explained all aspects of it, so I left the office convinced that I was in good hands.

Dr. Chan is so thorough and detailed in his explanation of next steps in your road to recovery. He also took the extra care when I had higher pressures than he wanted to come in on a Saturday to relieve the higher pressure in the eye.

Dr. Chan is a very thorough and experienced doctor. I do appreciate the time he takes with each patient. It can be to a disadvantage as patients are scheduled so close together and it becomes a long wait for the patient later in the day. The patients in the afternoon can end up getting less time .Overall I would recommend Dr. Chan because of his expertise and real caring for his patients.
