About Me

Dr. Lawrence Chan is an ophthalmologist with a focus on diseases of the retina and vitreous. He cares for adults with common and complex retinal conditions and works closely with patients to create practical, step-by-step treatment plans that fit their lives. Whether monitoring chronic conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration or recommending the right moment for surgery, he aims to explain findings clearly so patients feel confident about each decision. Dr. Chan also partners with primary-care and endocrine teams to help protect vision through systemic risk-factor control.

He completed medical school at UC Davis and residency training in ophthalmology at UCSF. In clinic, Dr. Chan offers the full spectrum of modern retina care, including advanced imaging, in-office injections, and laser treatments, and coordinates surgical care when needed. He speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin and welcomes new patients seeking second opinions or long-term follow-up for retinal disease.
