Very thorough. Friendly. Probably needs better time management which is why I gave an 8. He took time to explain things, answered all my questions, and took pictures/notes. However, I do plan on rebooking with him.

This was my first experience with Dr. Chen. He was attentive and payed close attention to his work. Today was a body scan for potential skin cancer issues. He performed a biopsy for further study, a neoplasm of uncertain behaviour and froze a keratosis my cheek.

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.
