“Excellent”
Dr. Tan is a wonderful Oral surgeon. He is very caring for his patients. He has done extensive work in my mouth and I have never had any problems. He is very highly regarded and will certainly be missed by all medical providers in Frederick. I have 43 years experience in healthcare administration and feel that Dr. Tan is the best. I will truly miss him as will the entire community. Thank you Dr. Tan

“No pain surgery”
Incredibly pleased with the service and outcome of having a tooth pulled Except for some soreness at the injection site, I experienced no pain or swelling. Terrific job and follow-up.

“Great experience for a difficult procedure”
Dr. Tan and his staff were pleasant and spent time explaining exactly what would happen and why. Even though I was apprehensive about the extractions, they made me feel comfortable and it turned out being a great experience.
