I had a second opinion visit with Dr. Chan. He's very knowledgeable and compassionate, his office staff are easy to work with too. Dr. Chan does not specialize in the surgeries I was looking to perform, but he gave me a lot of good advice and also prescribed me an MRI which eventually diagnosed my other knee (my first orthopedics doctor at UCSF refused to prescribe me with one). read more

Great, nice & patient w/questions too! Had a commuted fracture of the tibia in my knee, luckily for me things were healing in place, no surgery needed but 1000% trusted this Doc. The practice has their own wide-bore MRI so when the knee imaging was done they were able to leave my head and arms outside the machine tube, if you are claustrophobic -thought this info might help. read more

I've seen Dr. Chan for two different "frozen" joints. Both cases had gone on for over a year when I sent to see him, and in both cases he explained that because the inflammation had persisted for so long, it made sense to do a cortisone shot to tamp it down. I was tired of being in pain, and of endless physical therapy without improvement. I was eager to proceed to this next step of treatment, but also really afraid of the shot itself (it goes into the joint capsule, so... deep into a spot that already hurts like hell). To help me stay calm, Dr. Chan SANG SONGS WITH ME during the injection. A Christmas carol, something by Ariana Grande... He didn't know all the words, but MAN! did I appreciate that he was game for it. And in both cases the shot went well and my pain began to subside within 24 hours. I see that some people have had bad experiences with Dr. Chan, reporting poor bedside manner, lack of knowledge, and not using a numbing agent or imaging machine to give cortisone. I'm sorry they had those experiences! I've written similar reviews for a different doctor in the same practice. But my two experiences with Dr. Chan were the opposite. I liked him, felt respected, and trusted his judgement on my case, and he did use numbing and imaging for my shots. read more

I would like to commend Dr. Keith Chan,MD, for being a great surgeon and doctor. He is kind and patient and exceptional in his profession. He has two locations where I receive treatment, San Francisco and San Rafael, CA. Thank you, Dr. Keith Chan and California Pacific Orthopedic staff. I highly recommend this business read more

I injured my knee months ago during a fall, had an x-ray, nothing was broken, so I was told by my primary physician that it was just a bone bruise and I would be fine in 6-8 weeks. 4.5 months later, still in constant pain and still swollen. After weeks of trying to see ANYBODY (my insurance is awful), I got the first appointment available at what seemed like a great practice, with Dr. Chan. I looked up reviews and saw that 3 out of the 4 reviews he's gotten in the past year were 1 star, but I was desperate to get my knee looked at. My mistake. He interrupted me constantly, spoke to me condescendingly, and it seems like his go-to for anything he doesn't care about is a cortisone injection. He flat out told me "it's just something you're going to have to get over," and "i'm sorry if you thought this was going to be an easy fix with surgery, but that's not the case." When I tried to explain to him that I have a lot of pain in the front of my knee and what LOOKS AND FEELS like a ball that is not present in the other knee, he said "there's nothing in your knee, it's just fluid." ... Do you think I'm stupid? Obviously its "just fluid" but it's causing a lot of pain and swelling and it's a concern I have? He reduced all of my concerns and pain that I've had for months to "it's a little swollen" and offered the cortisone injection for the 20th time. I left in tears because I had looked forward to this appointment for SO long, SO DESPARATE to have some sort of answer to what has been a major obstacle in my day to day life for 4 AND A HALF MONTHS, only to be talked down to, interrupted, and have my concerns completely ignored. I'm sure Keith Chan used to be great -- hence the majority of his reviews being 5 stars -- but now, 4 out of the 5 reviews he's gotten in the past year are 1 star and share awfully similar experiences with this doctor. Do yourself a favor and go literally anywhere else if you want to be taken seriously. read more

Worst bedside manner I've experienced. He actually said, when I was asking a lot of questions about some injections for my painful knee, "I don't care if you get this shot or not, It makes no difference to me." His entire manner suggested he didn't care about my pain, my prospects or my care. Perhaps if I had been a star athlete (his card says "Sports Medicine") he might have been able to muster up some interest. Turned me off to the whole practice. Like the old Feetwood Mac song says, "Never goin' back again." Also, the office for California Pacific Orthopedics in SF hasn't been touched since the 1970s and the waiting room is practically a super spreader event -- always crowded and no social distancing. read more

Dr Chan is the best. I had a bike accident that left me with a distill end fracture of my clavicle. The bone needed to be surgically repositioned and I elected to check out of the hospital so that I could have a sports surgeon instead of getting a hook plate to bolt things back in place. Why: because you're a lot more likely to get back to 100% mobility with the newer surgical methods. Dr Chan came recommended through 3 different angles. We called an got an appointment the very next morning and had a surgery scheduled 2 days later. The surgery went off without any hiccups as well as all of my checkups. Based on my expectations, every step of the process and recovery went quicker than expected. About 6 months out, I'm at roughly 100% mobility and strength parity is dependent on my time lifting weights (of which I need to do more). At my last checkup I asked if I could go back to swimming (i like long swims in the ocean when on vacation). He said there's no reason to avoid anything and that my movement seems completely conducive to a freestyle stroke. Recovery all taken care of :) Keith is on time, easy to get ahold of, doesn't rush out of a visit, makes you feel comfortable (before surgery or during recovery), has a great staff, and is skilled at modern surgical methods that can keep you mobile and active. read more

I've had excellent experiences and results with Dr Chan. He repaired my right hip labrum in 2017 and my left hip labrum in 2020 and both cases I was running 10 miles a day after 3 months of recovery. Probably like you if you are reading this post you have done a lot of research into doctors and why a torn labrum can occur. In my case I am in my early 50's and have run appx. 40,000 miles, plus my femurs are slightly enlarged and rubbed against my labrum. Dr. Chan has done a lot of these procedures (as well as shaving down the bone so it wouldn't rub against my labrum) and was highly recommended. His pre and post-op manner was very helpful and informative and was key in getting me back on the trails and racing again. I HIGHLY recommend him. read more

I was very disappointed in Dr. Chain's bedside manner and lack of knowledge. He told me nothing was wrong with me and that he would be happy if his MRI looked like mine. I have been in pain for years and he basically said I will have to live with it. He told me I could try a cortisone shot but it probably wouldn't help. I have since found an amazing Ortho who immediately knew the source of my pain and how to fix/ correct it. I would not recommend Dr. Chan. read more

I saw Dr. Chan after tearing my ACL last year. He was able to schedule an MRI for me the same day and review the results with me that day. We were able to schedule surgery within a few weeks and he answered my tons of questions on graft choice and making sure I was confident going into the surgery. All of my follow up appointments have gone well and Dr. Chan has been great through it all! read more

I had a super disappointing experience with Dr. Chan. He misdiagnosed a tear in my shoulder several years ago which led to me living in pain. Then I came in for a cortisone shot (and he acknowledged having misdiagnosed me) and he neither numbed me nor used an ultrasound to get the shot in the right place. Huge bummer and very painful. I ended up going to someone else for my surgery. You can do better than this guy. read more

In case anyone is curious ... I am 1 year and 5 days post-ACL reconstructive surgery and I can honestly say I am BETTER today than before my injury! Sadly, I know several friends and neighbors who've had this same surgery with very different results. I am beyond grateful I chose Dr. Chan for my surgery! Taking what I learned in PT, I've kept up with exercising. The end result is that I am stronger today than when I got hurt. There is nothing I've tried yet that I didn't feel comfortable doing. I can run, hike, bike... not sure yet if I will try skiing this season. Thank you again, Dr. Chan for my phenomenal results! read more

It has taken me a year to write this review - I had a terrible experience with Dr. Chan last year. He was on call when I broke my tibial plateau skiing and as long time patient of the practice, I called the office to acsertain next steps. I was stranded out of town and had been told at the ER that I needed surgery as soon as I got back home. When I asked him if I needed to schedule an MRI before coming in (as the ER doctor had suggested) to check the status of my ACL, he said "your ACL is the least of your problems." I then asked about an appointment on the books and he said "Im the on-call surgeon, not the scheduling department." When I finally did get in to see him nearly a week later, he reviewed my scans but never physically examined my leg. Was focused on text book measurements and not looking at the patient. Run (if you can) from him as a surgeon. He's arrogant and rude. read more

Dr. Chan is great! He handled a knee surgery for me and I couldn't be more pleased. Was in moderate pain for about a year and a half- no more! Will be able to start running again soon. Thank you, Dr. Chan! A shoutout to Haley, his assistant, too. Very caring practice. I would not hesitate to recommend or to return to Dr. Chan as needed (hopefully not, though!). 07/18/18 update: I don't even remember which knee that I had surgery on. I can do anything, walk, hike, run. I am so very grateful to Dr. Chan for making me healthy again. read more

I saw Dr. Chan two years ago after getting injections in my hips for most of my life. I was told I had bursitis and gained a bunch of weight from the steroids. Dr. Chan ordered an MRI (first doctor to do so) and I was quickly scheduled for surgery. Although, the repair to my hip seemed complicated, it was routine for him. There were no complications and I recovered quickly! Dr. Chan and his staff where extremely nice, caring, and courteous. If I ever needed anything again- I would consult with Dr. Chan first- Even if it was something he didn't do, that's how much respect t I have for him.. I have total trust and confidence in his expertise in orthopedic surgery. I've had many surgeries throughout my life and I have found that most doctors are nice in the beginning but........ not so much afterwards. This is not the case with Dr. Chan, he is a class act and I'm grateful to have found him. read more

Dr. Chan is an excellent surgeon! A few months ago I saw Dr. Chan for pain in my hip and hamstring. Dr. Chan was very thorough; I ended up having a torn labrum and needed to have surgery to repair it. Dr. Chan is quite knowledgeable, has excellent bedside manner, and truly did a superb job! I felt at ease and had confidence going into the procedure. He gave me pictures and video clips from the surgery, in which he explained exactly what he was doing in a very understandable way. They were really helpful and much appreciated! I have had a very speedy recovery and at only 2 months post-op I almost have full range of motion. I've been able to do various exercises (i.e. squats, lunges, leg press with low weight) at physical therapy the last several weeks that I really thought I would not be doing again for months. I credit my accelerated recovery to Dr. Chan and am grateful to him for getting me back on my feet and pain-free! I will definitely recommend Dr. Chan to my friends and family. Thank you! :) read more

Dr. Chan performed surgery on both my hips (FAI CAM). Throughout the whole process he and his staff were kind, professional, and incredibly responsive. I've had a great experience with him and would highly recommend to anyone seeking help on their hips! read more

Last summer I had a horse riding accident in France and separated my shoulder. Dr. Chan recommended a dog bone implant which is new a AC joint reconstruction technique. This cutting edge procedure is minimally invasive and highly effective. After several months, I was riding again and have full range of motion. Dr. Chan cares about his patients and is a cutting edge, compassionate and brilliant surgeon. read more

A friend recommended that I see Dr. Chan after I injured a ligament during labor. He looked at my MRI and gave me very good information on my condition. Dr. Chan was very easy to communicate with and super patient. In the end of the explanation he told me that I don't need surgery and I will get better by just resting. What a great doctor! read more

I have seen several orthopedic surgeons over a period of 10 years and was always sent to physical therapy and suffered continuously untill I found Dr. Chan. He told me I needed surgery and did my surgery over a year ago for a bucket handle miniscus tear and my knee is back to 100%. I have literally not had any pain since the surgery. Maybe some soreness when doing a lot of squats but that is normal. He didn't know how bad the tear was until he went in and told me that he would shave it off if it was just a tiny tear but he may have to repair it of it was a large tear. It was a very large tear he said and normally being that it has been 10 years ago usually there isn't enough blood flow to save it but he was able to save it and it looked really good. I had been to over 5 specialists/surgeons in the last 10 years and NONE of them told me I needed surgery and so I suffered for 10 years! I am so grateful beyond words for Dr. Chan. He has improved my quality of life 10 fold. He is one of the BEST doctors I have ever been to. Not to mention his bedside manner is very calming. Even when I asked why none of the other doctors could help me he didnt tear them down or make himself seem like he was better or smarter. read more

Dr. Chan is the second member of this extremely high quality practice to put my body back together again, to get me back on the road to athletic goals. In this case, Dr. Chan performed a meniscectomy after I tore my meniscus in a traumatic twist -- which prevented me from running the past several months. Dr. Chan was very focused and empathetic to my concerns about returning to my running habit. The surgery itself was rapid and effective -- I am 3 weeks out and my knee is nearly normal, with little remaining swelling and almost total return to full flexion. I can "feel" the light at the end of this tunnel and a return to running. Thank you Dr. Chan! read more

I had a pretty terrible experience with Dr. Chan. The first time I met him he was jovial and attentive and he gave me a few cortisone shots in my shoulder. The next time I saw him, I was in severe pain in my shoulder and told him something was seriously wrong with it. When I said, "I think us doing the cortisone shots last time was a mistake because it made things much worse", he got very defensive when I said this and his "cool guy" cheery demeanor quickly turned to a mocking and irritable tone. He gave me the physical exam and he was yanking me around pretty hard despite I was in tears and in a lot of pain. He said, "It's only a frozen shoulder and there is not much you can do besides wait it out and work on flexibility". He was proven wrong as the MRI results later that week that confirmed both a SLAP and bankart tear in the shoulders in addition to frozen shoulder. He called me and left me a message with this information and told me I needed to focus on stretching the frozen shoulder before we could work on next steps. I called him back the same day and his assistant said he went on vacation for two weeks. After being treated that way by him, and following his instructions which left me exponentially worse off if I had never done the shots etc in the first place, I decided not to see him again. I took my business to Dr. James Chen who kind, knowledgeable and actually helped me and treated me with respect. read more

A friend recommended that I see Dr. Chan after injuring my shoulder rock climbing. I was in a lot of pain and couldn't do any strenuous activity. My first impression was of Dr. Chan's clean office and his friendly and professional staff. Dr. Chan was incredibly knowledgable and after a thorough exam and x-rays, he told me I probably had some inflammation and would not need surgery. On his suggestion, I started a course of anti-inflammatories and physical therapy. I improved in a few weeks and am back to full activity. Thanks, Dr. Chan! read more

I tore my ACL in October 2018. After going through my insurance and doing some research, I decided to see orthopedic surgeon Dr. Chan. He and all of his staff were very friendly, timely and professional. He ended up doing my surgery and made the process as smooth as possible. It's now 8 months later and I'm starting to get back into my usual sports: tennis, soccer and snowboarding. I can't thank Dr. Chan enough for all he's done for me. I highly recommend seeing him or anyone else at California Pacific Orthopedics if you have a sports injury! read more

Dr. Chan is a great surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. Unfortunately I had to have two different shoulder surgeries, but he did both and I'm better than when I started! The office staff and especially his assistant Hayley are wonderful and professional, he saw me in a timely fashion, took great care of me both before during and after my surgery. The follow ups were especially impressive! I felt well taken care of and under control. Over a year later I'm able to do everything without pain including swimming, chopping food, emptying the dishwasher, yoga, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Chan and the whole CPOSM staff... In fact I have referred them numerous times! read more

I was very lucky to have Dr Keith Chan as my Orthopedic surgeon. He helped me gain back my mobility after a labrum tear on both of my hips. He was very knowledgeable and compassionate at the same time. Both hip surgeries went well and recovered very quickly and painless. Used the crutches for 4-5 days and was able to walk without difficulties. Within weeks I was able to do most of my routines; walking my dog, grocery shopping, and take care of my family with two young kids. I'm so grateful to have Dr. Chan to do my surgeries for me, I couldn't have hope for a better outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone who has any joint issues. read more

Keith W Chan, MD - Orthopedists Near Me - San Francisco, California

Last year, I was diagnosed with Compartment Syndrome in both of my anterior compartments in my shins. The only cure for this is to operate. My doctor, Dr. Rowan Paul, suggested I go with Dr. Chan as my surgeon. I was lucky that Dr. Chan was willing to operate on me. He was honest, clear, and had good bedside manner. He didn't want to operate on both legs at once, despite what I had read online, and thank goodness we didn't do that or else I would have been wheelchair bound for weeks! He answered all my questions, and I just felt like I was in good hands with him. I had both surgeries with Dr. Chan, about 6 months apart, and when there was a little complication after one of them, he was easy to talk to and I got in to see him the next day. Turns out it was nothing big. Today, a year and a half later, I'm as good as new! I'm able to run and bike and hike and do anything active! His office staff, especially Christina, are also wonderful! Thank you, Dr. Chan! read more

Dr. Chan is awesome!!!!!!!!!! My initial meeting with him was for left hip pain in 2019 I suffered a bad accident over 10 years ago and had had several surgeries on that hip. I was in sooo much pain it was debilitating. Dr. Chan wasted no time uncovering what was wrong and what options I could take. The one thing I always remember him saying is I wish I could have helped you before it got this bad before referring me to his colleague for a hip replacement consultation. Well as fate would have it my other hip started acting up and Dr. Chan was able to help. Thanks to him I didn't need my right hip replaced I had just had a left hip replacement the year before. I am now up and walking around and my quality of life has returned. The other thing I truly appreciate is he continues to meet with me to ensure my recovery is going well. He also has a very kind spirit and great bedside manner. Excellent surgeon! read more

I made an consultation appointment over the phone weeks ago for my mom prior to bringing her in, when we showed up the front desk person (a male) said the appointment was given to to us by mistake since Dr. Chan is in the East Bay office. Ok. So we all make mistakes. I didn't make a fuss since I also work in healthcare. I was disappointed that didn't try to contact me to reschedule. The second time I went with my mom I made the point to call to make sure our appointment is still as scheduled . No use driving around town picking my mom up and driving all the way there and back for nothing. This second visit we actually was able to see consult with Dr. Chan and he was very nice explaining the need for hip replacement and cortisone injections. We made a another appointment as recommended in 2-3 weeks for the injections since my mom will be getting the Covid vaccine the next day. Since I couldn't take my mom for the injection appointment her friend took her. When they arrived they were told there was no appointment in the computer for her and she needed to reschedule. She said find. But was told to get to the back of the line to do that. Which didn't make any sense since she was already at the window being helped. It was like she was purposely being mean and unhelpful. And then she goes and tells my mom that they don't take her insurance. Now keep in mind they have all my mom's insurance information the last time we came for the consultation. After that encounter a very nice Chinese woman came out from the back to help my mom. She listened and went to talk to Dr. Chan. She came back and said everything is ok and cleared up. My mom was finally able to get her injections with Dr. Chan with no problems. I have to say the interactions with the front and the scheduling problems they have can be extremely frustrating. As a healthcare worker this is borderline unacceptable. read more

Dr Chan was great, knowledgeable, and kind, but his surgery coordinator (Jarlene) didn't respond to emails or phone calls when trying to deal with the insurance etc. She also informed us of the wrong surgery time so we arrive multiple hours too early. If it wasn't for her we would rate this experience a 5. read more

I wanted to update this review now that I'm 8 months past Dr. Chan doing surgery to repair my ACL, MCL, lateral and medial meniscus. It's been a long road to recovery, but from everything I've read and been told, it's been the best recovery it could be. I've been very consistent with physical therapy, so I know that helps a lot, but Dr. Chan has been fantastic not only at the surgery itself, but at seeing me regularly, and letting me know what I can and can't do, should and shouldn't do, and has given me encouragement for getting back to exercising and living a normal life. Here's where I'm at 8 months out of surgery: - I can stand for long periods at a time, have been on multiple long plane rides with no trouble, and can walk with no issues - My scar is extremely small and faint (I'm a redhead so I was expecting it to really stand out) - I'm able to exercise, run, jump (within reason), and am almost perfect at going up and down stairs without any limp - It definitely doesn't feel like it used to, but it gets closer and closer as the months go on All in all, if this injury (or anything similar) happened again, I'd go back to Dr. Chan in a heartbeat. He's friendly, professional, quick but not rushed, and he did a great job! read more

I met Dr Chan 4 months ago for hip pain. After a consult and MRI it was determined that I had a torn labrum and bone spur. He was thorough and patient explaining the issues and the procedure he would perform. He has excellent bed side manner and I never felt rushed and was extremely confident in his abilities. Within 2 weeks I was booked in for surgery and the entire experience with his staff and the surgery center was streamlined from start to finish. I had no pain post surgery and within a few weeks I was back to most of my regular household activities. I am now three months post op and doing very well. I do recommend following his instructions on what you can and can't do post surgery. There were several times where I was feeling so good that I did way more than I should have and this set me back. My recovery has been remarkable and Dr Chan is without question the best surgeon I have ever met. I highly recommend him to anyway considering this surgery. read more

I had a final visit with Dr. Chan today. I am 3 months post op. I have full range of motion and I have no limitations. I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am with the success of my shoulder surgery! Thank you Dr. Chan! read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Chan. I'm an active athlete... Ironmans, cycling and running races. This past Christmas, I ruptured my quadricep tendon on my left knee. I read scary, depressing accounts on the internet of how it can take a year to recovery from this injury. I wanted to find an orthopedic surgeon who would understand that I was an athlete and would work with me to recover as fast as possible. Dr Chan is that orthopedic! His prompt attention to my injury got me into his operating room within a week of the injury (time to surgery is one predictor of outcome). His surgical skills anchored my tendon back in place. His post-op instructions and responsiveness to my phone calls asking questions about medications, mobility restrictions were extremely helpful to me so I could understand what I could do and what I couldn't. Here I also have to thank his assistant Haley who was always on the other side of the phone when I called. Dr Chan understood that I wanted to push the limits, go at my own pace even if it was faster that he'd seen in other patients. He worked with me to design a plan tailored to my ability, offering me cautionary guidelines, while still trusting my ability judge what I could do and what I couldn't. All of that lead to a speedy 4 month recovery, where I'm back at my pre-injury watts on my bike, starting to run again and looking forward to my 10 day cycling trip in Spain next month , something I thought I was going to have to cancel back in December after the accident! So thank you very much Dr. Chan. I highly recommend him to any athlete worried about working with the right orthopedic who will understand your drive to recover quickly! read more

Dr Keith Chan was an excellent surgeon! I had labral tear and bone spur to my right. Dr Chan answered all my questions and was very honest, knowledgeable and kind. This was my first major surgery and he gave me confidence that everything would go well. And everything did! Thanks to him I'm back at work and enjoy life again! I would highly recommend Dr Chan and his team! read more

I injured my shoulder playing basketball, and subsequently had very limited range of motion and acute pain to the point that I couldn't sleep on my injured side. I thought I'd just been banged up and against my better judgment embarked on a few months of massages, chiropractor sessions and physical therapy. When I was still not getting better, I finally got an MRI which confirmed a tear and went to see Dr. Chan who advised surgery which he offered within a month of my initial consultation. I'd never gotten surgery before and this could have been a nerve-racking experience but from the moment I stepped into the surgical area, I was not left alone with anxious thoughts. I was taken to a room for an initial checkup where I would change, then I met with my anesthesiologist, some of the nurses and Dr. Chan before finally being brought to the surgery room. Everybody gave off an air of extreme competence, reassurance, friendliness and calm and I woke up two hours later, making a bit of a fool of myself. It's been six months since the surgery, I've had three follow up checkups with Dr. Chan, have done more physical therapy and am at a point where I'm confident I'll be making a full recovery. I couldn't give Dr. Chan a higher recommendation, he's a great doctor surrounded by equally great people in his practice and in the surgery room. FIVE STARS read more

Dr. Keith Chan is an amazing doctor. He has helped my son with a wrist fracture he sustained while snowboarding. Dr. Chan is the brightest, most astute orthopedic surgeon we have seen with great bedside manner. He listened to our concerns and needs regarding the injury and the rehab process and was completely clear and responsive. Also, his office in Marin is very pleasant and his staff is uber professional and friendly. Scheduling was a breeze, and we were seen immediately once we arrived at his office. I highly recommend Dr. Chan for any sports-related injury. read more

First of all I want to tell everyone who's planning to have surgery to do their homework and take their time before rushing into it. I did a bit of that but not enough, or should we say, I rush into it, and made the wrong decision. To make the story short, I had surgery outside the US and it didn't go well. Likely enough I knew DR Chan from a previous visit, I schedule an appointment and after a couple of consultation we decide to go ahead and operate on my shoulder again. Needless to say the experience was extremely positive. He fixed the esthetic problem caused by a careless surgeon (with a MINI OPEN BICEPS TENODESIS) and did a few other fix like the rotator cuff which was not done in the first surgery. The all process was painless, thank also to his professional and comforting staff that took really good care of me, before, during and after surgery. I'm on my way to recovery with my biceps looking like their suppose to look and the motion improving week after week. What can I say, is difficult to find the words to thank you DR Chan... but thank you for taking such good care of me. When I look at my harm I still have hard time believing you were able to fix the problem, amazing skillful and careful job. I can't forget to mention Cristina Velasco, DR Chan assistant, she assisted and help me with such grace I told her : you're an agel... GRAZIE! read more

I fell in San Francisco and had to have emergency surgery in the middle of the night. Luckily, Dr. Chan was the surgeon on call. Not only is he a top-notch surgeon and a nice, caring doctor who listens, my physical therapist couldn't believe how quickly and completely I regained my range of motion after the surgery. He concluded (as I have, too) that Dr. Chan must have done an incredibly good job. No complaints at all. read more

Dr. Chan performed an ACL replacement on my right knee on February 4th, 2015. Not only have I been grateful for the surgery being successful, but I have also been immensely touched by the huge amount of compassion and kindness coming from Dr, Chan and his staff, specially his assistant, Christina. Dr. Chan appears to me as a very humble individual. He is not pretentious and seems to be extremely focused on the patients' needs. One feels in great, expert hands when being treated by him. I was specially amazed at how diligent Dr. Chan was in my recovering process. He made sure I scheduled the appropriate amount of follow up appointments, and he guarded carefully the whole recovery process. Dr. Chan is not only as good as Orthopedists Surgeons come, but he is a great human being also. He is super friendly. He takes the time to explain with great detail every aspect of the specific operation/treatment. And he listens and pays attention to patient's needs. I am really happy I have Dr. Chan as my Orthopedist Doctor now. I have no plans to change him for another doctor, ever. Thanks a million Dr. Chan read more
