Connie Y. Chen, MD

As a primary care physician in internal medicine, I believe that building long-term, trusting relationships with patients is essential. This connection allows me to listen to each patient’s unique needs, guided by their medical history and personal preferences. My approach is both personalized and grounded in science and data. Whenever possible, I emphasize conservative treatments, such as nutrition and exercise, alongside medication options when needed. While I lean toward conservative care, I respect and incorporate each patient’s wishes, helping them feel that their care is individualized.

Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers same- or next-day appointments with minimal waiting. Being in the MDVIP model gives me the tools to allow me to spend more time with you, better help you manage your chronic conditions, and focus on prevention. As the saying goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” By prioritizing prevention, I support patients as they pursue enjoying healthier lives and more time doing what they love.

Additionally, I am affiliated with Emerson Hospital and can refer patients to institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Mass Eye and Ear.

Outside of the office, my interests are reading, traveling and enjoying time with family and friends.
