Great experience
Friendly environment! This visit involved a very present technician who seemed to be interested in my situation, even questioning me as to was there anything needed that was not being done or has not happened.
Love the staff and Dr.Tan . They have been very attentive to all my questions .
Jessica is very professional, but yet has a warm, likable personality. She is an asset to your clinic! Diane Frasier
The doctor was knowledgeable and explained my options in great detail. She checked for understanding and she even drew me a picture of my knee to understand what she planned to do during surgery. The staff was helpful and let me know that there would be a long wait. During my wait they checked in on me and let me know they had not forgotten about me.
Melissa Gerardo takes care of my every need for my hands .
Very good
Being seen at this office for the first time, they were awesome! I was seen fast and everyone at this office was very nice.
Quick and efficient
I know Mondays are usually pretty busy. My appointment was at 9:15 and I was not seen until almost 10:15. The wait time was still pretty long.
Dr Tan took the time to listen to what I had to say. He then clearly explained what I needed to accomplish before he was ready to perform surgery. The follow-up appointment - to ascertain my progress - was set immediately. It was a great combination of respect for patient, efficiency and competence. Would totally recommend.
Dr Tan is very knowledgeable and polite and answers your questions. I highly recommend him for anyone experiencing hip and knee problems.
Very helpful
He is very personal and caring.
