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.

Never listened or explained options. Just kept saying everything was “healing great” and “looking good” well I don’t consider a crooked foot an inability to walk normally, run at all, or even straighten my foot to be healed or acceptable. I made MULTIPLE unnecessary appointments and requested additional scans and vocalized my concerns which were continuously blown off. At first it was “frozen muscles” and a therapy issue. When therapy said otherwise she decided to say it was due to a heel injury. Never mind the fibula bone sticking out inappropriately, or the foot stuck inverted. If I could give her zero stars I would.

Dr Tan was extremely honest and nice, got right to the point and explained everything to me so I new the details of the surgery before during and after, and easy on the eyes lol very cute. Which helped me pay attention. But seriously she is a great doctor and I would recommend her to everyone , she's very good at her profession and I will always go to her and bring my kids to her if needed, now I pray that my kids don't need any surgeries.

Dr Tan did a wonderful job of explaining my treatment options and letting me choose the direction I wanted to take. She administered the treatment and I literally walked out of the office pain free. I highly recommend Dr Tan. I found her to be very honest and direct.

I felt like Dr Tan could care less who I was, or what my goals were. She just kept saying "I knew all about you before I met you" - based on my X-rays, which I also knew how to interpret. As a former Billings Clinic RN, BC is my top choice for care, but Dr Tan was patronizing, failed to ask me a single question, and failed to even discuss her approach to care or treatment options. What a waste of $650.
