“that was very efficient. He recommended to put the cream on my face which was not acceptable by in my face. I was worried about putting any more topical cream on face. It already was so sensitive and agitated The PA I saw an urgent care recommend that I do not put any thing else on my face. I think she was right.”

Verified patient
Dr. Chan was great and was able to help me immensely with a rash I had that was beyond itchy and uncomfortable! I was in so much discomfort and he gave me relief and I was grateful. He was thorough and had great bedside manner. He asked questions and treated my rash. And he was able to see me right before X-mas and gave me his number to call him if anything came up. He is a very thorough dermatologist. Thank you!
Very satisfactory experience. Insurance data submitted easily online and in advanced. iPad given to quickly provide all medical history. Staff was attentive. Dr. Chen was thorough and clearly explained condition and treatment. Prescriptions filed online at the office.
Verified patient
Total interaction was less than 5 minutes and he wasn’t really explaining anything. Basically just looked at me and told the MA what prescription to put in.
My experience was excellent. The doctor was incredibly patient, thorough, and genuinely caring. They took the time to explain every detail in a way that made me feel understood and reassured. I felt listened to from the moment I walked in. The visit was smooth, the staff was welcoming, and I left with full confidence in my treatment plan. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this doctor to anyone.
Verified patient
Dr. Chen was extremely professional & helpful, and provided clear solutions for all of my concerns! He was also very knowledgeable about different types of treatments for my eczema. The rest of the staff was helpful and friendly as well.
Verified patient
Dr Chen was very knowledgeable, but made me feel like he was in a hurry. If I did not come with questions, I’m not sure he would have given me all the information about my condition/treatment. Otherwise, I am glad that I saw him for another opinion.
Verified patient
Friendly staff, short wait, clear communication
Verified patient
I plan to go back for a full scan.
I would not recommend Dr. Chen. He has very poor bedside mannor, talked at me instead of letting me ask questions and immediately started touching my face without gloves and without asking for consent. He was poking sensitive blemishes that I had, which made them irritated and made blunt/harsh comments about my skin. Saying that whatever I was doing clearly wasn't working. He didn't try to understand my acne issues and history and immediately wanted to put me on medication, when I made it clear I wanted a take a topical path. He told me what items they will prescribe me but didn't explain why and didn't provide any additional information for my reference. I had a lovely experience with the women working the front desk, and they were truly the only enjoyable part of this first time interaction with this office and doctor. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back to this office or this doctor.
On time; asked the right questions; thorough and addressed some other minor issues in addition to the primary issue for the appointment; staff persevered after CVS had a problem receiving the prescription and did it in a friendly/cordial/professional manner.
Great experience.
Verified patient
I had a great experience with Dr. Chen. He was very thorough, thoughtful and checked out anything he thought was concerning. Great first time visit and I will absolutely be returning.
Verified patient
Dr. Chen was extremely helpful and answered lots of questions for me! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new dermatologist
