I felt very comfortable with Dr Tan. He started by asking me to explain my issue and pain; then followed up with further questions and answers. I really appreciated his detailed explanation of the images current and previous; showing me how things have changed and the need for the recommended treatment/surgery. Also drawing a detailed picture of the proposed procedure and how it would be performed.
