He just nodded his head like he understood, gave out a referral that didnt work and sent me on my way. Of course, typical.

I just move to Utah. In the past I have always been fortunate to have doctors that made me felt like I was important and really listened and addressed my concerns during the appointment. Dr Chen acted like he was just going through the motions but didnt want to discuss anything with me.

Dr. Chen was amazing. Listened to your explanation of the problems I was having and ask questions about how it affected me day to day and then talked to me about the meds I was taking and did I feel they were working. He did not seem hurried to get to the next patient but explained what was happening in my body and options for medications. He was caring and pleasant.

I enjoyed Dr. Chen enough as my physician that I switched to him as my primary caregiver. I have also made mention to him to others in our neighborhood. he took the time to listen to my concerns and never seemed rushed to get through my appointment.

I was told I needed labs done. But was never informed of where to go. I have never been here before, I also never received a follow up call to see if I had them done or if I had questions. my previous provider did that, so I guess I expected the same. my fault.

the physician seemed very rushed and anxious to leave the room. we wanted a fertility referral. we received a referral but his knowledge of the clinic and providers within the clinic was poor. we were disappointed for his lack of knowledge in women's issues since on the site it was stated that was an area of interest. there wasn't a discussion about the process. it just felt very rushed.

_____ had to explain things & repeat herself multiple times. It was frustrating that the tech showed more concern & empathy than the doctor did.
