About Weizhen Tan, MD
I grew up in Newton, Massachusetts and attended medical school at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, MA. I then completed my pediatrics residency at Yale University in New Haven, CT before moving back to Boston to complete my pediatric nephrology fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital. I am thrilled to stay in Boston as faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children and look forward to spending my time taking care of a variety of patients as a clinical nephrologist at MGH.

The experience was pleasant and informative overall. I had no issues with the provider.
Dr. Tan is the best! He is helpful at explaining things so I understand it fully, and allows us to come to our own decisions without forcing his opinions on us. I respect his opinion and couldn't recommend him enough.

It's really good, doctor.
Doctor Tan is very friendly and acknowledgeable. He knows how to communicate with me. He not only provides the service but also educates me about my health. I am grateful to be his patient
He is very thoughtful, open to patient feedback, and takes the time to explain things in detail and is very clear about what long term and short term steps that are needed. He is easy to communicate with and always provides positive reinforcement and constructive feedback on patient progress.
Dr. Tan was very good to deal with, very pleasant, he knew what exactly our problem was and how to deal with it. And he gave us plenty of time for questions and was just very, I couldn't rate him higher. Thank you.
Excellent service. The doctor, nurses, and translator attended to us very well. We were very happy to leave the hospital. Thank you to the doctors, nurses, and interpreter for their care. Many thanks.
