Dr Chen is very good at listening and providing a solution. He takes good care of his patients.
Although the wait time was a bit long, all of the staff treated us very nicely. Everything was explained well and my questions answered so that I understood.
I felt confident that my care and concerns were being addressed.
Dr Chen and his Staff have it together!
I've been a patient of the eye clinic since 2013 and have seen several providers over the years. I really like Dr. Chen. He's really great. Sadly, the clinic is more often than not so busy that it takes hours, literally, for my appointments. This time I was scheduled for a visual field test and to see Dr. Chen. My appt was at 3:00 and I didn't get out of there until 5:30. Dr. Chen and I were the last ones there. It's not his fault but that is way too long to be there for a visual field and an office visit. The staff is always super nice and friendly -- they found my lost earrings! -- but it just takes too long. I would say I have had two appointments in all those years where I got out in less than an hour and a half. Dr. Chen's great, though.

Andrew Chen is an exceptional doctor. He has incredible skill and knowledge and is an excellent communicator. He was very generous with his time at this appointment, as he invariably is. He relates to me as an equal partner in formulating the direction of my care, which shows great respect.
The eye care (and in general the medical care) is the very highest quality. In particular, for my eyes, they are monitoring all measurable potential problems, and then suggest well reasoned alternatives for care. The best anywhere in my experience, and I have lived in many places in the US with good, but not as good as UW Medicine, care.
Dr Andrew Chen listened to me. Explained options and left the option to make a decision for a procedure or glasses to a later date if I changed my mind.

Dr Chen has always been exceptional with regard to communication - carefully listening and clearly responding to questions and helpfully providing other explanations/education. I greatly appreciate that he is not condescending. He genuinely considers my perceptions re symptoms and opinions re treatment, which he invites.
