Gilbert Chan, M.D., is a board-certified pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Chan earned his medical degree from the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines. He completed his initial training in the Philippines. During his training, he was exposed to various pediatric orthopedic conditions, mainly congenital foot and ankle deformities, as well as various neglected injuries in young children. This was when Dr. Chan developed a passion to treat pediatric orthopedics, realizing that what he would do would make a difference in the child's future. He then moved to the United States in 2004, where he received further training in pediatric orthopedic surgery from multiple institutions. He is involved in research and education. His main focus includes spinal deformity, foot and ankle, neuromuscular disorders and general pediatric orthopedics.

We arrived for a 2:30p appointment and waited almost an hour and a half to be seen by the doctor. He spent about 2 minutes with us when he did finally arrive. The experience was disappointing and we didn't leave with much additional information than we had been given by the pediatrician who referred us.

We really appreciate it how the provider included us in the conversation around the lefthanded X-ray and how it has been studying for many many years. And that's how they are able to determine the maturity of bones. Both myself and my son were engaged in the conversation and left more educated then we arrived. Thank you.

Well, I waited over an hour to have an X-ray done. The doctor came by twice but we were still waiting on the X-ray. After an hour, I said something to a nurse and he said something to the nurse who was to do the X-ray. She came by, never apologized, said she was here for my daughter and walked off. We spent an hour and a half at this practice for a 2 minute X-ray and 2 minutes with the doctor. I do appreciate the doctor apologizing and I do like the doctor but I'm about done with the very long wait time and the nurse's attitude. We've been coming to this doctor every six months for the past couple of years and today was not a pleasant experience. We're so close to being done but I'm seriously thinking about finding another doctor before her next six month appointment. I would recommend the doctor but I would not recommend the practice.
