Dr. Chen is patient, makes you feel at ease, explains what is going on and has over 20 years experience. He is genuinely a master at the vein center. My pain the following day was tolerable :)

Very good at communicating and helping one to understand the issue and what the options are. This also came from the other women/fellows/residents who examined before and after the ultrasound.

I was referred to Doctor Chen from my original vein doctor when he explained to me that my vein condition required surgery which he does not do. Dr. Chen is one of the nicest medical professionals I have ever met. He took time to get to know me and to explain what the surgery would likely require and what to expect with respect to the recovery period. I feet comfortable after talking to him.

Disclosures

Richard I. Chen, DO reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2024.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
