Samuel Y Chan, MD, PC

Originally I thought this dr was fantastic. But after getting my husbands medical records and reading what he put down I am disgusted. My husband was injured at work we are at MMI. Dr. Chan not only lied and wrote down things from my husbands checkups that were never said or never happened, he also measured him and didn’t «like» the measurements so Zeroed him out. Anyone who has had a workers comp claim will understand. If you are using him for workers comp I can promise you that he will most certainty screw you over to help workers comp. we got a second opinion and Chan waited to long to really fix my husband and now he is disabled for life! We were told he was a neurologist or at least specialized in it not the case! He did nothing to help my husbands nerve damage but give him acupuncture (didn’t work) and put him on pills that also didn’t work. We also found out 2 years after him taking the pills that he was supposed to get monthly blood checks. We asked Dr chan about this and some other problems so he took a baseline blood draw 2 years into it. Also found out that some of my husbands problems were due to the medication given to him! Completely irresponsible. Run and run fast from this guy!

Went to see Dr. Chan for an EMG and was pleasantly surprised. How many times have you been to see a doctor and they barely make eye contact, spend 15 minutes with you (if that), ask questions, write notes and charge $ 200/visit…for what exactly? Not Dr. Chan!
He is soft spoken and has great bedside manner. He took the time to understand my symptoms and discussed methods for pain management. He is passionate about his work and helping people. He spent at least 40 – 45 minutes with me. We talked about traveling and he had some amazing experiences to share.
If I didn’t already have an acupuncturist, I would go see him for that as well! What I can do is write a review to share his hidden charm!
Like the other reviews, I was not too fond of the front desk staff. But that shouldn’t deter you from seeing a *GOOD* doctor!

I want to say Good and Bad things about Dr, Chan after he medicated my best friend.
Its been 5 months now since my bestfriend started seeing Dr. Chan and have some medical treatments and sessions. Over the past few months, I can see slight changes on my bestfriend. Not that big changes but atleast we can see some changes.
But the charges were not that friendly. He spent a lot every session and every treatments. I don’t know if its worth it.

I initially had therapeutic botox injections from Dr Chan in early November, 2013. The procedure was very effective in reducing the frequency and severity of my chronic headaches for about 2 months. I scheduled and completed a repeat of the injections today. Dr Chan, and his assistant, Tony, were both professional, helpful, and friendly. They both seemed sincerely pleased that the injections helped me, and hopeful I will see an increased benefit.
After my initial visit, I posted a review of the office on Unilocal,mentioning issues with a specific staff member. The office manager followed up with me and definitely took an interest in making sure that the root causes of problems were identified and addressed. I am very impressed by my visit today. Everyone, from the front desk, to the medical assistant and the Dr were great to deal with, and although they were quite busy, I was seen right on time, which I always appreciate.

Dr. Chan was fine, but the receptionist was less than friendly, almost rude. Later when I needed to have my EMG faxed to another doctor, she refused to either mail or fax me the release form. She insisted I must come to the office in person. Lazy and nonprofessional, to say the least.

I have been seeing Dr. Chan for back and neck pain for many years due to injuries received in 30 years of martial arts. He is caring, attentive and has a great bedside manner. I believe my treatment plans have always been thorough and in my best interest. Thanks to Dr. Chan’s treatment plans, I have been able to return to martial arts.
Recently, I have been seeing him for aesthetic reasons. I have received Botox and laser treatments for my face. I am looking better in my forties than I did in my thirties!
I highly recommend Dr. Chan’s services.
