“Dr. Chen SR is very kind and informative and had good bedside manner. His nurse practitioner was wonderful as well during my visit along with the office staff. Although they don’t accept my insurance (Ambetter), I am willing to return and pay out of pocket again simply because my experience was so pleasant. ”

About Dr. Allen Chin
Allen J. Chin (?Dr. Allen?), O.D., received his Doctor of Optometry from Nova Southeastern University College of Optometry in 2003. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from The University of Texas at Austin. His special fields of interest include orthokeratology and scleral lenses for corneal diseases.
Dr. Allen's passion for optometry began as a baby, spending time around the office with his father, Dr. Allen H. Chin (?Dr. Chin?), also an optometrist in the practice. He says some of his current patients still remember him as a little child in the office. As he grew older, his interest in science and helping others deepened.
Dr. Allen loves the relationships he has developed with his patients over generations. Seeing families change and catching up with them as friends every day is very special. A bonus of working alongside his father has allowed them to foster a family relationship spanning over four generations for some.
When Dr. Allen is not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with his family and dogs, traveling, and trying new restaurants.
