For this reason, I always strive to treat every patient as if they were a close relative—my mother, father, sister, or brother. In addition, I believe in really listening carefully to my patients. It is astounding how many hidden diagnoses have been revealed through careful listening and a thorough physical examination. Another very important aspect of patient care is good communication. Once patients really understand what their condition is about, they are able to fully collaborate in their treatment and functional restoration. Often, in my specialty, the underlying diagnoses or cause of pain and suffering can be quite complex. For this very reason, I always strive to use every day language and easily understandable analogies when discussing diagnoses, test results, and treatment options. Good, clear, accurate communication is paramount for successful treatment of disease and disability. Finally, I believe in being positive and encouraging. I really love being a physician and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to help and care for the patients that have been entrusted to me. ### Professional highlights Church, Volunteer for Asian American for Community Involvement (AACI), American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Jan is interested in running, basketball, swimming, hiking and trying new cuisines. ## Education and training **Medical school:** New York University School of Medicine **Internship:** University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO, 2000 **Residency:** University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, 2003 ## Board certifications -
