About Dr. Keiko Chan

Dr. Keiko Chan completed medical school in Calgary, then moved to Ottawa for her residency in Family Medicine. Throughout residency, she focused on women’s health, working at the Shirley E Greenberg Center twice weekly. Upon graduation, Dr. Chan continued to explore women’s health for patients of all ages, ranging from contraception to menopause care. She is passionate about making procedures such as IUD insertions, endometrial biopsies, or even pap/HPV smears as comfortable as possible in the outpatient setting. At pre-procedure consultations, Dr. Chan will present patients with pain management options including cervical nerve blocks, inhaled Penthrox, and anxiolytic medications. Dr. Chan is also active in the Ottawa community, often giving public talks on evidence-based medicine in perimenopause and menopause. She is also pursuing her Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) status with The Menopause Society and hopes to become certified in late October 2025.
