Sanda Tan's Online Review Report Card

The worst doctor ever. I went to her for a second opinion after the first surgeon operated on me for the wrong problem. She did not even touch me and told me that she had to put me to sleep to examine me and that she did not know why I was so much in pain. Absurd. If I could give a zero I would. Horrible experience. It took Mayo Clinic five minutes to figure out what was extremely easy to diagnose.

I feel that Dr Tan is a great surgeon and truly helped me with my issue. I really want to thank her for helping me. On the other hand some of her staff were quite the opposite. Particularly her PA Candy and staff nurse Cory. They should learn to be a little more compassionate and treat patients better. Stop being so dismissive and realize you’re there to help patients. It shouldn’t feel like a constant struggle dealing with staff when you’re in need of help.

Dr. Tan is wonderful! She has been the only surgeon who has been able to successfully treat my fistual due to Crohn's. I've been dealing with the fistual since 2016. Finally I'm getting back on the healthy track. She has a great bedside manner and her assistant is just as amazing! Thank you Dr. Tan for all your help!

Dr Tan has been a very caring and compassionate physician to my mom. She is very thorough and is quick to get the ball rolling to take next measures with her patient’s care.

Great surgeon, saved my life.

I had a very very good experience with Dr Tan, I truly believe that she saved my life. Great surgeon, very thorough, and very knowledgeable, which is what I want in a surgeon. Highly recommend.

Very unprofessional. Met my husband who has been diagnosed with rectal cancer with her fingers up his butt, apologized for meeting him that way, and we have had no follow up whatsoever! Terrible, terrible, bedside services. No support whatsoever.

Horrible! My 20 year old son has been recently diagnosed with a very aggressive form of Crohns. We were referred to her for a Seton Drain replacement. I only met with her residents prior to the surgery. I was told to have my son to the hospital by 8am for a surgery that didn't end up taking place until after 230pm. When I questioned the nurse over this, the nurse was shocked we were told to be there so early. She went to ask Dr. Tan, then Dr. Tan came out and yelled at us, in front of all of the other patients in pre-op and told us we should feel lucky, because she had a cancellation and was moving us up a time slot. I never saw her again, because she sent her resident out to tell us how the surgery went. So the only encounter, I have ever had, was her yelling at me for questioning why were told to arrive so early. Nothing else. I will NEVER go back again! I have also been trying (unsuccessfully) to get my sons medical records released to his college for a medical leave.

She has been kind yet to the point. I trust her.

Her ileostomy failed and prolapsed. Could not get in to see her for weeks thereafter. Waited an hour and a half past appointment and she popped in for about 30 seconds. She relies too heavily on her residents. Her manner is gruff and impersonal. The hospital hierarchy ought to discuss this and the eleven other one-blocks on her so far.
