I've been a patient of Dr. Chen for almost 30 years. He is focused and direct while also being personable and professional. I trust Dr. Chen implicitly with my GI health and routine endoscopies and colonoscopies. His staff and facilities are top notch and I feel lucky to have this level of GI care so close to home.

Hard to get enthusiastic over an unpleasant experience even though crucial to health. Let me just say that I felt comfortable with Dr. Chen and his staff, and the procedure went by without any difficulties. Happy that it's over with until the next time :-)

Dr. Chen is an excellent gastroenterologist. He’s thorough, professional, and runs a very efficient practice. He makes suggestions for improving your health. After my procedure he provided extra literature to accompany his findings. He’s willing to answer questions. His staff is friendly and personable. He’s been my GI doctor was twenty years and I’d highly recommend him.

Dr. Chen is an excellent gastroenterologist. When all the data and test results are in a follow up consult is scheduled in his office, if findings need to be discussed. If everything is fine, a phone call is made, with opportunity for patient questions. I was given much time to answer all of my questions and they were answered promptly , in detail using pictures in books and diagrams by Dr. Chen, very thorough. I have had 2 in office reviews with Dr. Chen and he has been my GI. doctor for approx. 15 years, I would recommend him to others.

This doctor made me feel like I was part of an assembly line. Very clinical, terrible bedside manner and does not follow up after procedures.
