Jul, 29 2024There were no comments on the after visit summary as to what results he talked about. He was very rude! I need to find a new doctor.
-
Jul, 21 2024It would be nice to have a printout of each of my incidents instead of just a broad explanation in my chart. The doctor did look them up and took a little extra time which was nice.

-
Jul, 19 2024Dr Peter Y Chen is a very caring and competent doctor.
-
Jul, 18 2024At some point it was hard to understand the doctor
-
Jul, 17 2024Since this appointment was made for me, I wasn't sure about its purpose (blood tests vs vital signs vs further instructions vs answering my questions). I prepared a set of questions. When I told Dr. Chen I had some questions, he motioned me to go ahead. He answered my first question tersely, and then seemed quite annoyed that I had several more. He answered two, misunderstood one, gave no response to one(!), was vague with another, and gave a reason why he would not answer another.
