Dr.Chen is our doctor and he truly changed my life. I have been a diabetic for 42 yrs. I’ve never had a doctor that was so patient and knowledgeable about my illness.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
Ever since I started my journey in the medical field in 1999, I have experienced medicine in many different settings. The one constant piece of good medicine is the partnership between the doctor and patient built on mutual trust and respect that is earned. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I am able to develop an in depth understanding of each person's circumstance, which then allows me to deliver a personalized, primary prevention program. My MDVIP-affiliated practice will provide more than just a physician to go to for treatment; I will be able to screen and help prevent chronic medical conditions from developing. To that end, my MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.
For those of us that have ongoing medical needs, I am experienced in the management of many chronic conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and thyroid disorders. However, my passion is the management of diabetes and numerous adverse conditions that it often comes with. I am well versed in the management of diabetes using various modalities including insulin pump. I have relationships with many specialists in our community to help with your unique needs. I also serve as a board member for Houchin Community Blood Bank, as well as the Valley Integrated Provider Network, part of Dignity Health. I am fluent in English, Mandarin and Taiwanese.
