Dr. Chen is great. He always listens to my questions and takes time to explain everything.
Dr. Chen is the most intelligent, thoughtful, kind doctor I have ever had in my whole long life. He explains everything at issue very clearly, is extremely reassuring and is very pleasant. He gives excellent descriptions of why something is okay and, if not okay, what to do about. I feel very fortunate to have this lovely man as one of my doctors.
