Outside the Practice

When he's not caring for patients, Dr. Chan and his family enjoy walking the nearby beaches and having breakfast out. He and his wife Anna, daughter Nina, and dog Maddie like visiting the Torrance Farmers Market on the weekends to see what's in season and then finding new recipes to try. They also enjoy traveling for fun and visiting family on the East and West Coast. Dr. Chan likes trying different beers and wine, and he's not a connoisseur but knows what he likes and doesn't like!

A fun fact about Dr. Chan that people might not know is that he met his wife at a dental school fraternity (Psi Omega) event at the Dodgers.
