Dr. Carol Tan, MD

Hard to believe people are leaving negative reviews. I am 57 and have never had a doctor as thorough and knowledgeable as Dr. Tan. She has helped me so much and I’m grateful she is also the doctor of my parents. If you had an issue with her services personally all you needed to do was talk to her and she would come up with a solution that you both could agree upon. Every time I see Dr. tan I leave feeling satisfied and more aware of my health challenges.

Dr. Tan is a wonderful doctor! She was my primary physician for 6 years when I lived in Iowa. I continued to have her as my primary even when she moved from Coralville to Cedar Rapids. She was always extremely patient and understanding with me, which is particularly important because I suffer from health anxiety so I always had several questions and concerns. Dr. Tan always carefully and thoroughly addressed my concerns and always followed up with me. She listened to me and took thorough notes and asked several thoughtful questions. I trusted her and still consider her as the best primary physician I've ever had!

Very thorough and listens. I honestly feel lucky to have her as a primary provider.

She had all my medical records yet asked the same questions repeatedly - as if I were a liar. She even threaten me with ‘ I have all your medical information ‘ as she asked me again and again the same basic questions- at one point I told her no more - I would not answer it again Never in all my 60 + years been treated so shabby. We clearly are not a good fit. I was brutally honest with her and she didn’t process any of it. Including ignoring my breathing issues that are yet not dx. My pain is so high that I’m not currently able to sleep and was warned I can become upset - yet she was aggressive when faced with the results of failure to treat

She repeated the same questions so many times I felt like she was inferring I was lying. She had all my records. She didn’t need to ask a single question. She was abusing her power. There are fair better providers. Run!

I used to love having Dr. Tan as my doctor till she moved to Cedar Rapids. I feel my care went downhill since she changed locations. I am in the process of trying to find a new primary doctor but it's kinda hard with the covid-19 stuff going on and now since I haven't gotten a new doctor, and I need refills on my medication Dr. Tan and her horrible nurse are denying me my refills telling the pharmacy that im not a patient there anymore and will not let me get the medications that I need. I will never recommend this doctor again after the way I was treated at the Prairie Creek location. Im so glad that at a time like this the doctor would deny a patient meds knowing that the world is on lockdown and it's kinda hard to do anything right now.

Love, love LOVE her. I have a nursing back ground and feel she is so thorough, very up to date, listens carefully and yet very friendly and caring. Spent almost 1.5 hours with me on initial visit. So impressed!! She had also taken care of my elderly mother and was wonderful with her as well. Would highly recommend her to all.

This is my first experience with Dr. Tan and her office but I was very impressed. Very thorough exam, and friendly office.
