Alexander C Chan, MD

Came here to see the doctor since Dr. Fung was on vacation (this was earlier in the year) and he didn’t hesitate to diagnose me before giving me time to explain my symptoms. I’ll stick with Dr. Fung.

Dr. Chan is extremely kind, caring, and knowledgable.
He never rushes his patients and has always greeted me with a positive attitude.
However, be prepared to wait a while if you’re a walk-​in… anywhere from 0.5 to 1.5 hours

So, I was sick for 3 weeks and ended up in the hospital.
1^st week — I went to a Eastern doctor and was given a 3 day herb medicine.
2^nd week — I went to Sandy Fung, my primary physician who gave me a z-​pack.
3^rd week — I went to Alexander Chan (because Sandy was closed) and he gave me more antiboitics.
End of 3^rd week, I went to the hospital because once I got off the antiboitics, my body was shivering and I caught a fever. I explained to him that when I’m on the medication, I’m fine. Once I get off of it, I feel sick again. So after the antiboitics he gave me, it was a Friday — I went to the movies and felt weak. called a cab home. caught a fever, took Aleve which may have been part of what made it worst… my heart was aching, I couldn’t breathe without it hurting, I felt gas in my body so it was really uncomfortable. I called Alexander Chan, surprising he picked up in the middle of the night. He advised he couldn’t diagnosis me over the phone and that I should go to the hospital. I called a cab, my mom took me. It took at least an hour to get treated. and it was 2AM. I didn’t even have health insurance at the time. The doctor told me the last doctor shouldn’t have given me more medication because I already took so much that it makes my body too weak to fight off anything naturally. He also explained that sometimes patients are persistant in getting medication because when you pay a visit, you expect that something and usually medication would make it better but what I really should have done was to just let me body rest from all the medications that I was taking. So, in short — it would’ve been nice if Alexander Chan just told me that. and not prescribe me anything.
He was nice, and I’m pretty trusting so if a doctor tells me what’s best, I’ll go with it. I think he made the wrong judgement that I would be okay, he also seemed like he didn’t know what to give me, so afterall I would be fine if he said it’s better to take nothing at all!

Worst doctor I have ever been to. Gave me the wrong medication twice — waited more than 2 hours each time.

Dr. Chan is a caring and knowledgeable doctor. I have been seeing him for about 6 years. He is way better than most doctor in the area and theres a lot of doctors to choose from in chinatown. He is patient and very thorough during the visits.
One negative is that he got busy recently. There’s a lot of people that go see him now and his waiting room is really small but it is worth the wait since Dr. Chan is such a great doctor

With the absence of my PCP, I searched all over creation to his backup whom his staff referred me to Alexander Chan, M.D. to seek immediate medical attention. His office lies on Elizabeth Street on the 4^th floor of a shopping complex, above the Chinese Culture Enterprises bookstore, and adjacent to the NYPD Fifth Precinct. When calling in advance of my abject predicament, the receptionist thankfully permitted my admittance without an appointment. His one person receptionist is kind to contact my insurance carrier to change primary care physician on my behalf, while I continue to wrangle and wallow in utter despair of being deathly ill. Whoa, now that is HELPING my apocalyptic situation resolve!
Dr. Alexander Chan, is a very compassionate internal medicine professional who dispense an honest statement when diagnosing one’s aliment. He dispense the appropriate prescribed medications for I am heavily doped on many days. Wooho, show me the DRUGS! He took his time to learn of my sickness and my health history as a new patient. I did not like their new patient forms as the space to fill in one’s contact information and emergency contact details are microscopic small! His one person staff is capable of conversing in Cantonese, Mandarin, and of course, English. One TV is set to a Cantonese health/​medical herb station.

one of the nicest and most friendly doctors you’ll meet! very caring towards his patients.
