Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Zero stars
Dr Chen does not listen to patients, recommends unnecessary costly procedures and pushes them with the use of scare tactics.

Great doctor for my sinus issues
Overall I'm very impressed with Dr. Chen and his office staff. They are prompt and courteous. Dr. Chen is very pleasant. He is a great listener and spent the time necessary to help me solve my ongoing sinus issues. He was very gentle in his scoping procedure and within 2 visits all of his recommendations had greatly improved my situation. He has referred me to an allergist for further input. I highly recommend this doctor.

It was clear from the moment he entered the exam room (half an hour late) that he didn't give one iota about my well-being. He didn't hear or respect what I told him. He was far more interested in promoting surgical procedures, which I don't feel I need at this point. Anyway, I still need ENT advice, but feel stuck after seeing him. I don't trust him, and I don't want to follow up with him.

Dr MC Chen, ENT visit and follow up failed miserably on many levels. Dismissed my symptoms, did not address my sinus issues and sleep apnea. Test results were consistently untimely. I would not recommend.

Dr. Chen takes the time to explain everything and he doesn't take chances on your health. I feel like he holds the patient's health at the top of his list. He is busy so get on his wait list!

Tova in Seattle, WA – Jan 08, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Chen?
Probably a qualified doctor, but he was putting pressure on me to have a fairly invasive surgery for what is a minor and tolerable sinus issue. I ran this recommendation by my primary care doctor, and he said "the surgery would be good for the doctor, but not so good for you". This level of pressure for an elective and fairly risky surgery is troubling.
