I did my bunionectomy on both my left and right foot ( one just done… I’m on healing time) and both are succesful. Dr Chan explained the pro’s and con’s of the surgery and thank God I went to the right surgeon that everything went fine. Well recommended for one who is thinking to do the same surgery.

Excellent surgeon. Fixed my foot that other surgeon wouldn't touch. I can now walk, run and lead a normal life thanks to Dr. Chan. She's straight forward and to the point. She takes time to answer all questions in the office, before and after surgery. Excellent surgeon!

There was a lack of proper info prior to surgery. She definitely has to open the door for the patient to ask questions. I feel it is impossible to have an assessment in 15 minutes or so because that doesn’t leave any time for her to consider all aspects of the patient and assess them properly. She gives the impression that she is in a rush and therefore, you feel that you can’t ask too many questions. I ended up having to research almost everything about the surgery including after surgery and then ask specifics. Post surgical complaints are downplayed and pre-surgical assessments seem really fast. She has a good bedside manner during and right after surgery but it does not feel real in any way. I realize not all patients want to know details but many of us do.

Orthopaedic Surgeon

There are many conditions that affect your body's musculoskeletal system, which involves the muscles, ligaments and joints. Orthopedic doctors work in hospitals and specialized practices.

Conditions Orthopedic Doctors Treat

Orthopedic physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating orthopedic injuries and conditions such as:

• Bursitis: The inflammation and swelling of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac that usually forms over the joints. It acts as a cushion between the bones and tendons. The most common cause is repetitive movements.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include pain, numbness and tingling in the thumb, index finger and middle finger, as well as in the thumb side of the ring fingers.
• Osteoarthritis: Caused when the cartilage on the ends of the bones wears down. Often, the bones rub against each other, causing pain and swelling. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritus, affecting millions of people worldwide.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: At first, rheumatoid arthritis usually only attacks a few joints, but over time it affects more, causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness. Many people experience worse RA pain in the morning or after they’ve been sitting or lying down for awhile.
• Knee, hip and joint pain
• Osteoporosis: It means “porous bone” and occurs when the body makes too little bone, loses too much bone, or both. Bones weaken and can easily break.
• Sports injuries
• Tumours: Abnormal growths found in the bone can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Orthopedic surgeons also perform hip replacement and knee replacement surgeries due to arthritis. During hip or knee replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the painful joint and replaces it with an artificial joint made from plastic, ceramic and/or metal.
