What to Expect from a Dr. Delfin Tan Consultation

Loss of Privacy When my friend and I went to visit Dr. Delfin Tan’s office at the United Doctors Medical Center in Quezon City last October 2007, we were a bit disconcerted to find that another patient was in consultation with his assistant, who happened to be sharing the same desk where he was.

Nevertheless, we proceeded with the consultation with Dr. Delfin Tan, one of the leading ob-gyn doctors in the Philippines, and a proponent of the groundbreaking hysteroscopy procedure in the country, while trying not to hear the other ongoing conversation with great difficulty.

The pinnacle of the circus like atmosphere was when Dr. Delfin Tan had to converse with a patient on the phone, and then my friend and I talked under our breath about what was discussed, while another patient was having a consultation with the assistant, and another couple conferred on what they were going to do as they waited for some supplies from the assistant.

The tail end of the consultation had us waiting for the bill inside the room while the next patient started with her consultation, which resulted with us becoming unwitting witnesses to a partial recitation of her medical history.

No Nonsense Approach Dr. Delfin Tan will not do the proverbial hold your hand approach. He has a no nonsense and let’s go straight to the point and let’s not dilly dally here approach.

Not that he’s unsympathetic, but he would rather discuss your case and the resulting options.

Surprising Facts It was really cool to watch an actual hysteroscopy of a polyp removal in the uterus from a computer, a process wherein a telescope is inserted into the uterus, allowing the doctor to perform the procedure without cutting up the patient. Fascinatingly enough, the polyp removal reminded me of slicing mushrooms.

We were also surprised to find out that the best hysteroscopy equipment in the Philippines can be found in the United Doctors Medical Center, which is maintained diligently by the doctors themselves to ensure its maximum capacity.
