About Me
I am excited to be a part of the team at The Ohio State University treating patients with a multidisciplinary approach. My goal as a physician is to use my education and training toward treating not only a patient's disease but also the patient as a whole. Rheumatologic conditions often affect different organ systems and several aspects of a patient's life. During my clinic visits, I value the time used to educate patients about their disease states and discuss treatment options. Being able to provide individualized care and see the positive impact and improvement in quality of life are the best parts of my day.
I regularly attend symposiums and educational programs held by the American College of Rheumatology to stay at the forefront of medical developments and research breakthroughs. I also have a strong desire to train new physicians.
In my clinic, I see a broad spectrum of rheumatologic conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, gout, systemic lupus erythematosus, sjogren’s syndrome, scleroderma, mixed connective tissue disease, myositis, polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
In my spare time, I enjoy culinary adventures as well as travel with my husband and playing musical instruments.

Dr Chan listens to my concerns and always follows through with what she says she will do.
I love Dr. Chan. She always takes time to answer my questions, and remembers so many small details about me and my life. She has so many patients, that I am really surprised by what she remembers. The appointment is over an hour drive for me but it is worth it.
She took her time asking several questions about my health and concerns so she could treat me the best possible way. She was patient and listened to all my concerns and told me all the possibilities about my issue and what she would do to help make my issue more manageable. I wish all doctors were as caring and kind as she is and sincerely wants to help her patients
Everything is fine
Excellent
The best. Dr Chan is one of a kind. Have been with her for about 5 years. Followed her from past hospital to osu. Will never leave her. She is a hero to me for how she has helped me with my illness
Dr Chan is one of the best doctors ever. She listens and responds to all my concerns. I trust her completely
All great!
Knowledgeable and compassionate
All good, very professional.
Doctor is the best!
She listened to every concern I had and I don't mean just listened but she actually noted and responded back with a caring tone and asked about other possible symptoms. Which made me feel like she genuinely wanted to get to the root cause of all my symptoms. And I've never had any doctor really try to get to the bottom of my chronic pain and sickness that I've had for quite awhile. I couldn't be more please with the staff and I finally feel like I'm in the right place with the right doctors that are going to help me het the diagnosis I've so desperately needed for years so I can get on the right medications and finally start feeling alive again!
Dr Chan is a remarkable physician. One of a kind! I am so blessed to have her as my doctor. I wish all my doctors listened and cared as much as she does.

My care provider was outstanding. Dr. Chan was new to me but a breath of fresh air in regard to her manner, friendliness and knowledge.
Care provider was notInterested in looking at the full scope of the patient. Was only interested in treating the symptom not the root of the cause. Doctor did not want to address any external factors that could be affecting the patient. Doctor seemed like they wanted to just charge my insurance and was not interested in a long term solution. Only short term care.
Dr Chan is always kind and gentle, it's a struggle to figure out what is going on inside my body, I'm negative on all of the tests she has run so far but something is wrong we just can't put our finger on the problem...

Amazing doctor. Both experiences with Rheumatologists at OSU for me have been excellent. Dr. Chan is replacement for the exceptional Dr. Meara and has exceeded expectations in care since taking over. Her attention to detail, forward concern, communication, and thoughtfulness has been outstanding. Her medical astuteness and open communication considering any concerns current or in the future has been spot on. Very much am impressed by her manner of care, thoughtfulness, and overwhelming willingness to help improve my overall health and quality of life. Dr. Chan is open to my concerns l, willing to pause and followup after investigating further and very much focused on improving my wellness not only for me but the benefit of my family. I Feel reassured that so far I have had successful partners within the department of Rheum and am grateful Dr. Chan is a vital and respected member of that team now. Thank you for the excellent care.
Provider was dismissive of my concerns. She kept mixing up my family history with my personal medical history.
