I am giving him a nine since I canâ€™t judge the end results of the procedure since itâ€™s recent and I havenâ€™t seen the end results. Overall, his bedside manner is a 10. He was very informative during the procedure and Sheila, his prep assist, was also great. I look forward to the end results

He did my vein surgery a few years ago and my leg is still doing great. I also went ahead and did the cosmetic spider veins there and it was a great experience. It only took 2 sessions and my legs still look great. A couple coming back so Iâ€™ll definately go back to them in a few years to have redone.

I have been a patient of Dr. Chen for years and undergone three surgical procedures with him. His excellence as a physician and surgeon; his superior skills as a patient educator and advocate; his genuine concern and kindness; and his example as a human being who makes the world a better place. I am enormously grateful to be in his care.

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.
