I have successfully visited Dr. Tans office 10 times for various family members. Its quite a range of problems too. My Thai mother in law had a chronic stomach ache that was managed nicely by Dr. Tan. Then I have visited for colds and flu, with great advice and proper medication management. The kids are 19,15 and 7 years old and all have enjoyed the visit. Everyone in my family likes Dr. Tan. Hes smart, and communicates well. The price is quite reasonable. I prefer to self pay rather than use my PPO insurance elsewhere because the quality of care is higher, price reasonable, and outcomes good. Ive even used his connections for self pay MRI at $500 a pre-negotiated rate. I even send clients to San Ramon from my physical therapy clinic in Emeryville because Dr. Tan knows about sports injuries. I truly think that Dr. Tans model of care is what should exist across the board in the US. Insurance firms have biased medical decision making, and so Dr. Tans model of self pay is affordable, accessible and effective. Im really excited to have him as a resource in San Ramon. Recommended without reservation.

Went in with an unknown bite my leg. I thought it might have been a snake bite even though I never saw or heard it. Dr. Tan thought it may have been a spider bite. He gave me 2 antibiotics and sent me on my way. Over the next 2 days I got extremely ill and the pain and swelling got much worse. I called several times and the nurse call me back once and wasnt very concerned. She said I could always go to the emergency room. On the third day I tried calling and got no response. I went to the emergency room and the ER doctor immediately recognized it as a rattle snake bite. I had emergency surgery to save my leg. 2 hours later. I would not ever use Dr. Tan or the clinic ever again!

I have no health insurance and didnt know where to go when I wrenched my back. I called a few physician offices and they couldnt (or wouldnt) see me. I didnt feel that an E.R. was the appropriate place for me and would cost me an arm and a leg. I called this walk-in clinic and they gave an appointment in right away. Dr. Tan was wonderful, very welcoming and understanding. Explained everything to me in simple terms. I felt better, just to know I was in professional hands. A really wonderful service.
