I had a truly excellent experience with Dr. Zhan during my recent exam. He was incredibly pleasant and took the time to listen carefully to all of my concerns. What stood out the most was how thoughtfully he explained everything_never once did I feel rushed. His calm and attentive approach made me feel genuinely cared for, which is something rare to find these days. I left his office feeling reassured and confident in the care I received. I highly recommend Dr. Zhan and wish him all the best in his continued career.

After 5 or 6 years with my vertigo, Dr. Zhan was the only one to tell me that I have BPPV and that only a physical therapist can get rid of the crystals. I went to my therapist and he did the Eply maneuver and I have not had a problem for a few days. I'm hoping it's gone. I would definitely recommend Dr. Zhan to anyone having problems.
