Dr. Christopher Yu Chan, MD

Months ago I went to Dr. Chan to get a referral for a specialist so that I could inquire about my Dyslexia. After telling him a few of my symptoms he immediately told me I don’t have Dyslexia, and that it is Adhd. He then prescribed me Adderall. I was thrown off by his abrupt diagnosis, so I decided to stop taking Adderall after the first couple of days. After this I decided I needed better answers, so I sought help from a therapist, who was actually able to confirm my conditions as ADHD and PTSD. She confirmed that medical leave might be a good option to consider as well. I went back to Dr. Chan to follow up and inquire about medical leave, adderall, and proceeding with getting more help. I experienced what others have already expressed. Dr. Chan was completely unwilling to listen, to help me understand his points of view, and was immediately hostile towards me for asking about medical leave. He expressed that he has a ‘personal preference’ against people who don’t want to work,… and that he ‘doesn’t help people NOT work.’ His refusal to help me understand my situation and his hostility towards me was so intense that it triggered another PTSD-related panic attack. Avoid this person at all costs. Listen to the negative reviews and save yourself.

Poor.

*PLEASE READ* I have never been treated so poorly by a medical establishment in my life and feel that his office literally robbed me- avoid Dr. Chan at all costs if you value honesty and reasonable treatment! I was charged almost $1,500 for what I was told would be preventative care covered by my insurance. Having a background in financial services, I consider myself to be a very economically conscious person and made sure to verify with him personally that there would be no out of pocket expenses. In hindsight, I should have asked for a formal quote and called my insurance to validate his claim. After receiving a bill for $1,500 without line-item details regarding what I was being charged for, I promptly contacted his office multiple times without receiving an update nor a call back. Several weeks later, I receive a call from the Polyclinic threatening to send my bill to the debt collector if I don’t pay. Still no word from Dr. Chan’s office... Funny enough, the allergist he… referred me to didn’t even test for the specific substances I had requested to be tested for. (I had a terrible allergic reaction to something while abroad.) I am not the type of person to leave behind reviews but because of the way I was treated, I feel obligated to share my experience with other prospective patients. @Dr. Chan- if you’re reading this, please take the ethically responsible course of action and pay back what was wrongfully stolen. At a bare minimum, 1) take the time to perform the necessary diligence to ensure you are providing future patients with accurate information and 2) provide the correct treatment for symptoms expressed.

Always feel he takes his time with me. Good at asking me questions and takes time ro answer mine. I like that he follows up with me after my blood tests.

Dr. Chan has been my primary care provider for 3 years. He is open to discussion and willing to spend time/listen to his patient. I totally trust him!
