Dr. Lee Tan is my top 5 providers to interact with. I have had and still have many issues with many providers who don't listen and at times don't care, but Dr. Tan has been very good to me. I am very thankful to God for bringing me to a Doctor who takes the time to take care of his patients.

The overall experience was excellent, so this is just a suggestion. I might have benefited by a larger discussion of options and risks.
