Reception was friendly and Dr Tan talked me through my symptoms in plain English. The upper endoscopy and ultrasound appointments were well coordinated. I appreciated the practical tips for managing reflux at home.
I’m glad I chosen Dr Tan for my GI concerns. He listened without rushing, explained the tests we needed, and followed up promptly. It’s reassuring to have a specialist who respects your time in Canberra.
Being referred to Dr Tan for abdominal discomfort, I found him very thorough. The team in Deakin were easy to deal with, and the colonoscopy went smoothly. Highly recommend for anyone needing GI care in ACT.

Great localisation of care in Deakin. Dr Tan’s bilingual options were helpful for my family, and the management plan for my acid reflux has made a real difference. Very grateful.
