Dr. Eric Chen is a skilled physician and an amazing person in all respects. He knew what my medical problem was and addressed all of my concerns right away. Although I no longer live in Seattle, I still find myself seeing him for a consultation every now and then because of his expertise and great bedside manner.

Dr Erik Shen is one of the best doctors I have ever had, and I've had a lot in my 65 years. He was kind, personal, efficient, skilled, and thorough... All of that on a late Friday afternoon.

There are multiple treatments I can do, but it feels like the care provider didn't treat my case very seriously and the advice is very general.

Provider didn't spend any time trying to diagnose the issue. He seemed to have no concern and spent maybe 5 minutes total with me. The issue remains and I will have to see another provider. [...]
