Dr Denise Chen is an excellent provider. We strongly trust her care.
I am so comfortable with Dr. Chen (unlike other neurologists I have previously seen) because she is extremely knowledgeable, takes the times to explain things, and is personable -- a rare combination. I'm really grateful for her as I probably would not see a neurologist if I hadn't met her and would not then be on a path to a better medication that won't harm my bones.
Dr. Chen has been an excellent provider. I feel like she is able to listen and respects my decisions about medications. She has always been able to communicate my options in a way that I can understand.
Love Dr Chen super nice very knowledgeable
Excellent doctor, very pleased
Dr. Chen has always put forth great effort to make me feel part of the team involved in my care. Her explanations are clear and easily understood and she patiently takes the time to answer any questions within her field of expertise and respectfully defers to other professionals when asked questions she feels are more appropriately addressed by other professionals.
I feel Dr Chen is very knowledgeable, professional, personable and caring. I believe she is fully engaged in improving my condition and finding the best treatment for me. I wholeheartedly want to keep her as my primary neurologist.
I felt an immediate rapport with both providers I saw. Dr. Chen gave me all the information I needed in the most concise, informed, current explanations I have heard to date. I felt immediate trust in her and her team. She listened to all my questions and had ready answers.
She answered all of my questions, educated me and she was very pleasant
