Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Appointment with Dr Chen in Stratford
Dr Chen and his outstanding staff deserve the highest recommendation possible. It was my first visit to his office and upon my arrival his staff made me forget my nervousness. They were outstanding from start to finish! Dr Chen was very patient and took his time with me explaining my condition. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

CONDESCENDING Neurologist
A PCP recommended him to us. After putting my parent on an infusion (very expensive) and expressing concerns of how susceptible they are to side effects, he was never accessible when problems happened! Multiple times my parent had bad side effects and wound up in the hospital twice. Each time we had to call the offices' infusion center and a caring nurse there helped track him down. At each of the hospital stays, he never went to visit and follow up. Hospital doctors could never get ahold of him either! One doctor found out Chen doesn't have privileges at Bridgeport Hospital which is SHOCKING considering this very page states as much! When we signed into our parents MyChart he functions off the Hartford system, not YALE. So where does he have privileges?The last consult with him was the most infuriating and condescending appointment by far! Absolutely belittling to the patient and family. Talking down and not at all listening to the questions and even get argumentative.

Prior to finding care with Dr. Chen, I had worked with several other neurologists with no success. Dr. Chen’s and his team are professional, inquisitive and caring. I’ve worked with him for nearly a decade and am glad to have my healthcare in his able hands. I would and do recommend my family and friends to his office and his constant consultation is much appreciated.
