Dr Chan is a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon with a special focus on sports injuries in growing athletes. As a member of the ROCKET group he is committed to improving the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Osteochondritis Dissecans of the elbow and related conditions in children and adolescents.
His clinical practice centers on pediatric and adolescent sports medicine, including care of the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle. He treats a wide range of conditions such as anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, shoulder instability, elbow injuries, ankle instability, meniscus tears, patellar dislocation, and Osteochondritis Dissecans lesions. Dr Chan uses both surgical and non surgical treatments and places strong emphasis on injury prevention and safe return to sport. He tailors each treatment plan to the child’s stage of growth and development and takes particular pride in helping young patients return to the activities that matter most to them.
Dr Chan’s research includes collaborative work within ROCKET and the broader ROCK network. His recent publications address imaging and decision making for capitellar Osteochondritis Dissecans, the biomechanics of the growing knee, and strategies to improve outcomes after sports injury in young athletes. This combination of clinical experience and research allows him to bring current evidence to each family he serves.
Dr Chan earned his medical degree from the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. He completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at Stony Brook University, followed by advanced fellowship training in sports medicine and pediatric orthopaedics at the University of Rochester and Columbia University.
He feels fortunate to care for young athletes and their families and finds nothing more rewarding than seeing a child return to sport with confidence. Dr Chan speaks English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese.
