5.0 star star star star starI appreciated that Dr. Tan was sympathetic to my symptoms and gave me person-centered care. I left my appointment with resources in hand and the choice about how to proceed and that felt very affirming to be informed about my own treatment.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Bruce Tan truly knows how to care for his patient. He is the type of doctor who would do and check first what needs to be done based on the feedback his patient.He went deeper checking where and what is causing my complaint before having a C-SCAN to determine as to whether it is necessary or applicable to use. As far as I am concern he does a very thorough job and I hold him high in terms of trustworthiness because I trust him. To me I put his practice at par on the scale of The Code of Medical Ethics and Professionalism, if there is ever as such. If there is any I hold him high for that matter. I hope he continues doing a great job. In my opinion his patients matters to him the most.
