Dr. Chan performed a left total shoulder replacement this month on me. While it did take about 3 months to schedule the surgery, I could not be more pleased with the results and outcome thus far. He explained the procedure and the risks in advance and again right before the surgery. I was prepped for what to expect post surgery. The post operative course has been great with minimal pain, no complications. Dr. Chan’s bedside manner is very good and he patiently explains and answers all questions. I have a timetable for full recovery which will allow me to participate in many activities. I highly recommend Dr. Chan and his team for shoulder surgery.

Visits to Dr. Chan are always timely, focused on details, and pleasant. I have no problem asking him questions regarding my health issue and he is very attentive to my concerns. I just had my second shoulder replacement and not only has he done a great job, but also his staff is always an email, phone call, or GetWell Loop away.

Dr. Chan was very pleasant, gave me adequate time to describe my symptoms as well as answer his questions fully. He also answered the questions I had and I did not feel rushed at all.

My experience with Dr. Chan was terrific throughout the entire process. I have total confidence in his ability as a surgeon and I am grateful for his kind concern for me as a patient. If you need joint replacement surgery, you will search for a long time before you find a more qualified surgeon!
