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.

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.
