They feel listened to and understood, valuing the time he takes to ensure their comprehension of their health concerns.

No bedside manner or compassion. Didn't listen to what I had to say. However, very knowledgeable and forthright.

My provider seemed like he was in a rush and he even called me in a medication without even telling me he was going to that. I was shocked when the pharmacy told me

Dr. Chen showed me on the X-ray why I need the surgery to fuse the two sections together with L3, but also explained that I could wait if I could live with the pain. He mentioned that I could do less at a time so the pain wouldn't get so bad. He said I should think about whether I want the surgery and should take the three months needed to be sure the last surgery has healed to decide what I want to do. He explained it would be a big surgery so I know what I would be going through. I really like him, he talks with me not at me.

Over all good. I felt it was a bit rushed and wished we could have gone over options more thoroughly. I had a few more questions.
