I am very happy to have him as my dermatologist. He is prompt and friendly. He talked me through what he was seeing, laid out a plan, and mentioned future directions that we may need to go.
I appreciate that the visit was efficient without feeling rushed.
Always a good experience.
Great professionals ....
Dr. Chen is great. He clearly knows what he's doing, he listens carefully, he explains things well, he's very patient, and he's a nice guy who is fun to chat with. In general, I see him twice a year. I wish this wasn't necessary, but it is. That said, I look forward to seeing him and I enjoy our visits.
Although I'm always nervous about the exam before hand, I am made to feel at ease, and all concerns are addressed in a calming way while covering issues on both sides.
Great thorough care.
I felt extremely nervous and confused going into my appointment, but I left feeling pretty clarified and resolved. And I was extremely comfortable the entire time communicating with everyone on this care team. I really appreciate it. Thanks so much.
Professional, easy to talk with, encourages discussion as needed.
He provides excellent care, explains things clearly and completely and instills confidence in his service.
