5.0 star star star star starDr. Tan relieved my concerns by providing feedback based on studies and medical trials that were related to the questions I was asking about. He was extremely knowledgeable about questions I asked, I feel confident that I was in good hands today.

5.0 star star star star starI have recommended several times Dr. Tan to my family relatives and to many of my friends. The continued care which I receive from Dr. Tan reenforces my convictions to recommend him for anyone facing ENT issues.

4.0 star star star star star_borderHe spent time with me, but didn’t really listen well. No real answers for symptoms….He seemed patient and had a gentle touch with the scope. It was helpful seeing the procedure. But, I don’t feel like their is any kind of plan to address issues beyond using afran and nasal strips.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Tan is hugely knowledgeable, informative, and personable. He’s given me three good years of living without a sinus infection, something I used to suffer from multiple times throughout the year, since a very early age. My lung happened to collapse, post-op. I’m so fortunate to have been under his care at Northwestern. Without Dr. Tan… and at any other hospital… I could’ve died. I am forever grateful for having been under Dr. Tan’s care and at such a good hospital!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Tan was very thorough on my examination before he did a procedure on me…However, I had a bad allergic reaction to one of the sprays that were used in my nose when I got home Monday evening.Better after 24 hours or I would be calling back in about it!

5.0 star star star star starDr. Tan was friendly and receptive. I feel like he took his time and was thorough. I also feel that he already had a diagnosis made up before doing any visual assessment. He was right, but that should not entice a dismissive posture. I appreciate the care given and look forward to my followup.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
