Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Care
Our experience with Dr. Tan was very positive, he did an amazing job replacing our son’s valve. Everything about the experience was excellent.

Would recommend
I took my 13 year old daughter to Dr Tan with a referral from her pediatrician. Scheduling was easy. The office is clean and conveniently located. We found Dr Tan to be very professional, companionate and thorough. Threw an exam and diagnostic testing he was able to rule out issues with my daughter's heart. What a relief. Dr Tan was quick to call to deliver the test results and explained them completely. If I were to find myself in need of a pediatric cardiologist in the future I would not hesitate to return to Dr Tan.

Great Doctor
Our six year old daughter has been seeing Dr Tan ever since she was a newborn and every visit has been a good experience. Dr Tan is very thorough and has great bedside manners. He is always very prompt whenever I have a request regarding paperwork. The office staff is also great and I cannot say enough great things about this facility. They really treat our family like their family which puts us at ease with our daughter’s medical condition.

My child has been a patient of Dr. Tan’s for 4 years. Dr. Tan has great bedside manners, and his explanations are thorough and easy to understand. I never hesitate to ask him questions no matter how dumb I think they sound because he always welcomes any questions. He is up-to-date on research in his specialty, and I absolutely trust his judgment and recommendations. He has a good rapport with my child, too!
