    Dr. Chen has made a hugely positive impact in reframing my experience with healthcare. She allows me to feel heard, seen, and safe and has done so every interaction I've had with her. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Chen for being fully present during my visits and ensuring I'm completely comfortable with any discussions, procedures, or decisions at hand. Being part of the queer community, I am especially thankful to have Dr. Chen as a care provider who genuinely listens and offers support to best meet my needs and all-around physical, emotional, and mental health. I speak highly of having Dr. Chen as my care provider any chance I get and would always recommend her to others. (:

    Dr. Chen has an excellent bedside manner. Answered all my questions. Treated me with respect and dignity. Showed care and concern for my physical and emotional wellbeing. I had such a positive experience that my wife is considering moving to her practice.

    Dr. Chen has taken over my very complex case after I have had a hard time finding providers able to management my chronic illnesses since 2018. As I have had trouble finding providers I trust (MDD and GAD), Dr. Chen was phenomenal in my first appointment with her. We went over most of my medical history, took a where we are at now, and give me the proper pushback when I overstep in my requests as a patient. I couldn't be happier.

    Dr. Chen originally was to be my substitute for NP Patty, but because I received very good care from her I've asked that she be my PCP.

    My primary care doctor is a wonderful listener and tries to meet me where I am. She respects me and I feel she's also very knowledgeable and is a very calming presence. Had a lot going on with me so I haven't been the easiest patient and I feel she is balancing it all extremely well And in a very prompt manner

    I had a very positive visit with Dr. Chen. She was attentive to my concerns, did a careful examinaion of my knee, and prescribed appropriate treatment. She is a good example of the excellent training provided by the Family Medicine program at UCS.

    Dr. Chen is outstanding. I feel so lucky to have her as my primary care doctor. She is so knowledgeable, a great listener, and cares about me and my health issues.

    Dr. Chen was extremely helpful. She is kind and personable and took the time to listen to my symptoms and to the course of treatment I would like to take. Ultimately she did refer me to receive a stress test.

    Dr. Chen made a very uncomfortable appointment comfortable and eased my anxiety. She's very personable and patient and willing to listen. She also is very thorough having remembered/reviewed our conversations from prior to my actual appointment. She is an excellent addition to UCSF, and I hope I can see her again in the future. While I love my PCP, it's very difficult to schedule appointments with her, so I would love it if I could use Dr. Chen as my backup or perhaps eventually switch over if it came down to it.

    The provider was great, as well as the medical student who was shadowing her. Both of them cared and listened to my issues and provided reassurance about my anxiety surrounding a past injury.

    My visit with Dr. Chen was perhaps the most positive interaction I've ever had with a health care provider. She made me feel very comfortable and empowered in my experience. I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but after talking with her I decided on a plan that I felt very comfortable with, and because I was so calm and comfortable, and because of Dr. Chem's skill level, the procedure went seamlessly without any pain at all.
