I have never had a doctor go over you with a fine teeth comb, ever time you seen them. Dr. Tan does and she can figure out better what is wrong with you.

She seems to truly care about your concerns, and takes the time to listen to each one. Most doctors I’ve had are very rude and rush you through your visit, but Dr. Tan is very thorough and listens well. I highly recommend her.
