Michael C. Tan, MD

This was my firsf appointment with Dr Tan. He obviously read my chart, talked with my care team. He explained the treatment and purpose of the "watchman." He fully explained My conditions And how installing the watchmen could improve my chance of not getting clots in the brain and also why the change to Eliquis was needed, And the importance of not missing any doses of Eliquis before the watchmen was installed. He also explained the other conditions in my heart that could reduce somewhat some benefits. What he did was explain fully to me what would help what would lower a little bit and everything I needed to know and it was a lot to take in, but he explained it well and told me I should think over everything that was said and in talk with my Nurse friend Who is my second pair of ears and could retain everything that was said help me and remembering and to research anything I needed. Dr. Tandon an excellent job. I've explaining everything and the rest and benefits and so I know that my decision will be a good one.

I recently moved to Portland.This was my first visit with Dr. Tan. He knew my medical history better than I anticipated. He had clearly studied my records. He listened carefully, asked good questions, and responded meaningfully to my concerns. He suggested we dig further into my medical history to confirm a diagnosis I've been taking for granted for a decade. I appreciated his willingness to question the status quo in the interests of my health. I'm very fortunate to have selected Dr. Tan. My previous provider, half a continent away from Portland, has a friend who works at Providence who recommended Dr. Tan. So his reputation is spreading in the broader provider community.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Appreciate the good service

I felt good after the appointment, all my questions were answered and the doctor was very nice.

Great first time visit with Dr. Tan. I felt heard and valued.

Dr Tan went into great detail about Afib in general and my Afib in particular, his enthusiasm for his job was infectious , he made It enjoyable to learn more about my condition.Then he explained all the risks and benefits of a medication that he wanted me to start taking prior to my procedure, saying that my Afib was very well established and he wanted to use this medication to start breaking the cycle of Afib. Even though this medicine can develop side effects I feel fully involved in the decision to take it.

Excellent doctor

Excellent providerExtremely knowledgeable and friendly

Dr. Tan is an amazing educator! I left the office confident about future options for my medical condition.

Dr. Tan is obviously very skilled and knowledgeable. He explained my future Pacemaker implant extremely well, leaving the decision to me. I appreciate all of his time and expertise. Thanks!

Pleasant fellow, knowledgeable. Willing to spend the time needed. Very happy with my appointment.

Dr. Tan is not only very knowledgeable and a professional clinician, he is compassionate, caring and listens to patients concerns. After listening, he then proceeds to explain and use medical terms that relay confidence and provides the answer, but equally important, uses terms that common people can understand. That goes a long way to helping patients understand the reality of the current condition and assisting with the decision making process. I appreciate that about his practice.

He did a good job.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Tan. He is a teacher and I learned important things about my heart and care that I hadn't learned or understood in the past. I'd almost be willing to have surgery just so I could be under his care!

All 10 +

I really like Dr. Tan. He is very friendly and professional.

I always recommend Providence to people especially those with a poor provider.

Happy with dr. Tan and his team.

Got into dr tan quickly

Absolutely the best Dr.at explaining my cardiac problems.He treated me with great kindness & respect.This was a great visit & highly recommend him as your Dr.A ten star plus!!!!!!

Dr Tan was informative and explained everything very well. I felt extremely comfortable with him

I am fortunate to have this provider!!

First time meeting this doctor. He took over for my previous doctor and he is an excellent listener and provider.

Overall I had an excellent experience. Dr Tan and his team are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable I would recommend to friends and family.

This was the first time I had seen Dr Tan & I was impressed he knew my history, spent enough time answering questions & explaining things & we made a plan.

Dr Tan was running late and was sure to tell me. I appreciate that.

Loved Dr. Tan. He is a new EPprovider to me, as I'm transferring my EP care from OHSU to Providence. I found him very energetic, knowledgeable, good listener and understanding of my EP experiences. RNs and Techs I dealt with were terrific as well. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Dr. Tan. Don't let that one get away!!!

My prior specialist moved so this was my first visit. I have never been so impressed with the time and care I recieved. He took the time to ask questions, listen, and explain. He seemed to really care.

Dr. Tan was wonderful!

I received a very clear explanation of my a-fib, and what options are available for treatment.

Very good

The visit was very informative and clear regarding having a Watchman implant. The doctor was an excellent teacher and had very clear drawings concerning the procedure and functions of the heart. He was very kind and listened to what questions I had and was thorough in his replies. It was an all around excellent exchange/appointment.

The nurse and Dr.Tan were both friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Dr.Tan listened to my concerns and directly addressed them showing he cared. He explained the procedure thoroughly and told me what my estimated outcome would be. He reviewed my echo and prior EKG's and explained results. He was expert at navigating all my information. He told me he wanted the best outcome for me in a way that made me believe him. I was quite satisfied with his caring, respect, sharing of knowledge, reassurance and thoroughness. Thank you for being you Dr.Tan!

He was very interested in why I was there, and how he could help me with my medical condition. He asked about my medical history and what my goals were for treatment, and he listened to my concerns! He was very reasonable in asking me to wait a few months before I had the procedure, and what I could do in the meantime. The last 2 doctors I spoke to about this issue were not helpful. Dr. Tan respected my viewpoint, and I look forward to talking to him in the future.

Good job

Dr Tan is an excellent care provider

This was the most informative explanation of my chronic AFiB and arrhythmias issues that I've ever received. Your drawings of the heart, 4 nodes, signal paths and my right bundle branch block were extremely helpful. Exceptional Cardiac EP provider.

My family and I were impressed with Dr. Tan. He explained throughly the Watchman Procedure and all of my other options.

This was a new provider. A meet and greet, went good.

I have been with Providence since 2015 and can not think of any bad experinces I have had. Keep up the great work

Took a long time to get an appointment. Staff and doctor very nice and friendly. Also knowledgeable.

I have been really happy with all my care at Providence..

Dr. Tan was aware and informed of my condition. He took time to listen and explain what procedure would be needed to treat my condition. I was satisfied with the care he gave me.

Very personable and professional

Dr Tan explained things very clearly. I left with an understanding of what I was experiencing.

My Dr.was excellent.

Assimilation of all the medical concerns related to my care/condition did not seem adequate Very nice but needed to have spent more time on my history..

Dr. Tan and his entire team were consistently courteous, professional, and respectful. I felt seen as a whole person and not just a set of symptoms or health problems. In our conversation about the upcoming procedure, Dr. Tan made sure that I understood what was going to happen and gave me ample opportunity to ask questions. I couldn't ask for a better experience than the one I had.

Thorough and professional physician.

Dr.Tan is knowledgeable and seems to be a very attentive caring doctor. Always seems to have reviewed my charts and knows my history before seeing me. Explains things very well.

I just love Dr. Tan. He seems to really care about me and my problems. He explains things thoroughly.

A consultant for me. As a retired physician I was very pleased with Dr. Tan and my visit.

Dr Tan is very engaging and quickly alleviated my concerns. He has a good sense of humor that suits me fine.

Very personable. I didn't feel rushed to make a medical decision right away. Knew my medical history in detail. Thorough explanation of procedure.

Very thorough happy to answer questions, very open and approachable

Dr. Tan replaced my former cardiologist for heart rhythm. It did take months to get in to see someone but I was on a wait list and got in on a cancelation. Otherwise I couldn't have seen him until Mid December. Dr. Tan was great and I look forward to seeing him regularly.

Fr Tan is absolutely Wonderful!!
