Doctor, always listened to patients concerns and nice explanation and follow up afterwards.
Dr. Chan is the reason I came back to UW. He is the best of the best.
I don't always feel Dr Chan really 'listens' to me, but I only have seen him 2, (or 3?) times for my 'Wellness' visit so it doesn't really 'concern' me. It's just something I have noticed.
Dr Chan was great, direct, honest and I felt like I got more accomplished in short order than I have in years at my last clinic.
Dr Chan was thoughtful and made me feel comfortable with speaking on any health concerns I had.
Doctor Chan is easy to understand and talk to.
Dr. Chan and his team that I met works in a very professional, friendly and caring way. I really appreciate for their help!
Dr. Chan was very friendly and responsive.
I so appreciate Dr. Chan for being able to jump on a call sonI could get a refill on a medication that I would run out of between visits with a new Doctor. I wasn't expecting to get a same day appointment and Im so grateful to Dr. Chan and his medical assistant. I look forward to working with them both for my other primary care needs.
Dr. Chan is excellent. Glad that he can take me as his new patient.
I'm thrilled to have Dr. Christopher Chan as my new primary care provider. He had already looked at my history from previous clinic, knew what I needed done, and even approved additional tests that are appropriate for my age but were not done. And he commented and responded on test results very promptly. I cannot say this enough, he is a great PCP.
I was very very happy with every aspect of my care. The doctors assistant, the blood drawing & Doctor Chan are all excellent care givers!!!Couldn't be happier!!! Thank you
Very good patient service
Dr. Chan is an active listener. He listened to my medical problems and actively communicated with me for any input about his proposed treatment plan. I believe he truly is the UW difference! Please forward my Thank you to Dr. Chan. [...]
This provider talked loudly and seemed very busy as he rushed through.. No time to listen to patients' questions or concerns. [....]
I was/am super impressed with Dr. Chan. He is thorough and personable and has just the right demeanor for a clinician. UW Med is fortunate to have him.
I've come to trust Dr. Chan. He us very much my healthcare advocate.
This is the first time that I've felt heard and listened to by a medical provider in the state of Washington. I look forward to continuing my care long-term with my Doc.
Dr. Chen is a caring physician. He responds to all questions that I ask and arrange for follow ups. Unfortunately, he doesn't have time to really examine the patient, so only the issues that the patient asks about are being addressed.
Dr. Chan was very helpful throughout this process, I greatly appreciate his assistance!
Dr Chan has wonderful bedside manner, is empathetic, thorough, and overall pleasant.
Dr Chan was helpful but was not able to "fix" issues UW overall problems
Dr Yung is selfless with her care
Love Dr. Chan!
Dr Chan is amazing. The whole team is
Dr. Chan appeared to be in a hurry and visit felt rushed. Even if he is indeed in a rush, Dr. Chan should try to stop, take a deep breath, and focus and attend to the patient before him.
Doctor Chan has been excellent since he has been my physician. Though most of my friends are in other plans.I have recommended doctor Chan to them.
