Swielang Tan,MD

I really loved Dr. Tan and apppreciated all the help he gave me over the years until one day when he had an argument with a patient in the waiting room. I watched and wondered why this patient was so rude and nasty to him.
He took another patient into his office and I was left in the waiting room with another patient. That patient and I were watching TV and a commercial came on for a mexican restaurant. I asked her if she’d ever been to Chipotle Restaurant which was new to Chicago at the time. We started talking and laughing about how we were addicted to their crispy steak tacos and kept talking and laughing about other things we had in common.
When it was my turn to see Dr. Tan, he WENT OFF on me talking about how I was laughing at HIM with the other patient. (He watches his waiting room on a monitor in his office.) He continued to treat me bad and was insulting me about myself and I couldn’t even get a word in to tell him why the patient and I were laughing and chatting! I was so shocked and confused at being attacked by a doctor over something that DIDN’T EVEN HAPPEN and he didn’t believe me when I told him that we were talking about our food cravings.
I went a few times after that but he continued to treat me rudely and kept confusing me with other patients histories. He always asks about my marriage and I told him that everything was great and I’m so lucky to have found such a sweet guy. I told him how we get along so well, never argue and we always respect one another. He insulted me and told me that wasn’t possible and it wasn’t healthy to «not argue.» He always is preaching about what black females are doing wrong and why they can’t get or keep a man. He’s not racist because his wife is black but he rants about everything that black people are doing wrong socially and community wise. So I stopped going there.
