“I value making decisions with my patients. I like having open conversations to understand their goals, both in health care and in their lives, so I can help them get what they need.”

— Dr. Tan

What makes the care here unique?

We have a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach, with patients’ concerns addressed from many different angles. We also do a lot of preparation just for a single patient visit. So much happens behind the scenes before a patient even arrives for an appointment: the team tries to get medical records organized and imaging reviewed if possible, and so forth.

What do you hope it's like for a patient to work with you?

I hope patients feel they can make their own decisions and that they have the tools and knowledge they need to do so. I also want them to feel supported. The good decision is the one they make. This is especially important in breast cancer because it is so multifaceted and there are so many directions care and treatment can go.
