Dr Chen was fantastic
Dr. Eric Chen is a skilled physician and an amazing person in all respects. He knew what my medical problem was and addressed all of my concerns right away. Although I no longer live in Seattle, I still find myself seeing him for a consultation every now and then because of his expertise and great bedside manner.
Dr. Chen is very accommodating and understanding
Dr Erik Shen is one of the best doctors I have ever had, and I've had a lot in my 65 years. He was kind, personal, efficient, skilled, and thorough... All of that on a late Friday afternoon.

Dr. Chen is the best
Dr. Chen examined my, reviewed my MRI and highlighted treatment.
Dr.Chen went over options for care with me and helped me choose the best option for my situation. My care was very personalized.
The doctor was amazing! He took ample time to listen and to offer explanations. He was especially helpful in arranging an urgent appointment for pain treatment, outlining a strategy for extended treatment, and making thje necessary related referrals to other doctors and treatment facilities.
Dr. Chen was great in explaining the issue and process of my problems and his methodology to deal with it.
There are multiple treatments I can do, but it feels like the care provider didn't treat my case very seriously and the advice is very general.
Excellent attention and discussion.
Dr. E. Chen is good
Dr. Chen is well informed, listened and together we developed a care plan moving forward.
