Biography

I am a gastroenterologist who specializes in caring for patients with esophageal disorders. I have a particular interest in conditions including eosinophilic esophagitis, GERD, Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal strictures, and esophageal motility disorders such as achalasia. I helped launch the Comprehensive Esophageal Health Center at Ohio State Outpatient Care New Albany, which provides centralized and specialized care for patients with esophageal diseases.

I strive every day to provide the best patient-centered, evidence-based, individualized care to each person who comes to see me. My patients can trust that I will listen to their concerns and formulate treatment plans with shared decision-making. I love the opportunities at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to collaborate with experts outside of gastroenterology and provide interdisciplinary care that benefits my patients.

My research interests include Barrett’s esophagus, eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal dysmotility, and dysphagia. I have published manuscripts and presented abstracts at national and regional conferences on these topics.

Working at an academic medical center also allows me to pursue my passion for medical education, teaching and mentoring. I am a clinical assistant professor of Internal Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I also serve as an assistant program director for the Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Nutrition fellowship.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and trying new foods.

    Dr Chan was awesome very friendly and caring and very helpful

  • Reviewed on Oct 12, 2025

    Dr. Chan is one in a million! She is always friendly, extremely knowledgeable and empathetic while addressing my concerns. After several weeks of severe diarrhea and extreme fatigue, my family doctor suggested I see Dr. Chan. I was blessed to already have an appointment with Dr. Chan scheduled. I messaged her through mychart to let her know what I was experiencing . She promptly replied. During my appointment she questioned me about many things trying to eliminate at least some possibilities. She then prescribed bloodwork and stool samples. One of her concerns was that I had Giardia, and stool samples proved her right. She immediately had her fellow doctor call me when results were received early in the morning to explain things to me. Medication was ordered from my pharmacy. Then Dr. Chan called me as well after she was out of her meeting. She explained things further to me and went over and beyond explaining Giardia and the need for my husband to get tested, have our well water tested plus the filtered refrigerator water, and to only use bottled water until treatment was complete. She asked me to message her on mychart how I was doing because she would be thinking about me every day! Let me say that made me feel so very blessed to be under her care!My pills started working almost immediately, and I'm so thankful I was able to get into Dr. Chan for my care.
