If you're comfortable searching on the internet prior to your appointment then this is the doctor…read morefor you. Why? Because that is exactly what you'll have to do, diagnose yourself first. It's not uncommon for him to ask YOU the patient what tests you want run. He not only did this with me, but my husband. Maybe that's his way of making the patient feel part of the process, however I need a doctor that is more confident in what they are doing. As well to ignore advice/opinions from peers. Honestly would not recommend him to anyone.

I did not have any pain during or after the treatments I received. In the past my mouth has hurt for a week or more after dental work. Not so with Dr. Chen.

So far it's good. This is a small town so two days a week open until 6 seems like enough for me…read more You can go within 10 days of a shot I don't see an issue. I'll see about the expiration dates. I actually love the way the office is designed. It's eclectic and creative. I like that it's not the same old same old as many other offices. The desert colors that are not drab make this an unusual place. Even the design of the building is different! I'm allergic to just about everything, plants, trees, mold, dander, cockroaches (yuck) they are all over this city!, dust, perfume. In fact, after looking at my test in Alabama, the doctor joked he's just have to shoot me. I have not had any problems with allergies here. They offer the fast and slow methods. I had a lot of issues and had to quit one office in AL because they did the cluster method. I like they offer both here. If you want the usual boring office go somewhere else. The only issue I had was the doctors obliviously hasn't had a weight problem. He seems to think you can just stop eating after a certain time. Doesn't work for me. I'm use to doctors men especially thinking it's easy. This makes him seem abrupt but he's a great doctor. He exhausts all possible causes of your symptoms. I'd rather have a competent doctor than a plain office and perfect bedside manner. One of the best doctors I had also treated diabetes. He wouldn't see patients who wouldn't follow there diets and wouldn't quit smoking. If you didn't wear your medic alert, he wouldn't see you. So, think again about your priorities for a doctor!
