About Me
My Background
I began practicing as a Doctor in 2003. My extensive medical knowledge combined with an ongoing curiosity to learn about the latest trends define my success in the medical field.

My Experience
My interest in medicine was sparked as a child. My mother is a retired nurse and I remember listening to her talk about her day and being riveted. She even took me round her hospital a couple of times to look around and from then I was hooked. My ambition to be a doctor took hold and grew from there.
That ambition took me to St Bartholomew’s and the Royal London Hospital Medical School and I graduated in 2003. My post-graduate medical training was in the South West Thames region, with several further years spent in research at St George’s Hospital, looking into the role of diet and the gut bacteria in inflammatory bowel disease. I have published research and presented to audiences nationally and internationally. My first job as a junior doctor was on a gastroenterology team at Epsom General Hospital and I fell in love with the field from there.
Currently I am a Consultant in Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine, Training lead and Nutrition Lead at Epsom and St Helier Hospitals NHS Trust. I am experienced and practice in all aspects of gastroenterology. I aim to provide a positive patient experience and have reviews confirming this. In fact, I was recently awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the website I Want Great Care. This is a site that allows patients to review their medical professionals and I am thrilled to have been awarded this honour.
“My Dr, Dr Chan, has been fantastic. Hes maintained regular check ups, worked incredibly hard, been very kind, and always keeps me informed..”
