Bio
What are some of the specific conditions you treat?
As a primary care physician, I address a wide range of common healthcare conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. I also manage obesity and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, along with common infections like colds and urinary tract infections. Additionally, I tackle gastrointestinal problems, skin conditions, and chronic pain. My role encompasses preventive care through annual check-ups, vaccinations, and screenings, as well as providing health education, lifestyle counseling, and referrals to specialists when necessary. This comprehensive approach allows me to deliver well-rounded, individualized care to my patients.
What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?
My approach to care centers on building a collaborative partnership with my patients. I believe in respecting their autonomy and actively engaging them in their healthcare journey. By providing clear, evidence-based information and thoughtful guidance, I empower patients to make informed decisions that align with their values and needs. This collaborative process not only enhances their understanding but also fosters a sense of ownership over their health, ultimately leading to better outcomes and greater satisfaction with their care.
What inspired you to become a doctor?
Growing up, I frequently found myself translating for my family members during their health crises, helping them navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. Now, as a primary care doctor, I understand the profound importance of having someone who can advocate for patients and provide guidance through what can often be a daunting and overwhelming experience. Every interaction reinforces my commitment to ensuring that patients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their healthcare journeys.

Dr. Chan listens very carefully and well. He deserves flexible time with patients but won't get it. He deserves a raise, but won't get it. He is a posutive and rare find.

He takes time to listen to his patients and he offers thoughtful examples. In talking about losing weight he suggested indicators of progress other than weight like improvements in ability to complete exercise or the way clothes fits.
