Jennifer Yu-Chia Chen

I chose Dr. Chen for Cardiovascular Preventative Concerns. Her credentials for this are top shelf. Thankfully, I have nothing wrong...yet! She was very nice, listened well and her staff on that floor were all excellent. The one caveat is that I am a low carb, high fat and protein patient and it is nearly impossible to find specialists who can work outside of this box of Big Pharma's dogmas! I suppose doctors risk their job in such a clinical setting to not go along with such painfully antiquated and even erroneous recommendations. For that I looked to NY Presbyterian to not be narrow sighted and instead lead the way in cutting edge research and guidelines. I have had only one visit with Dr. Chen and we are to follow up on a couple things... checking the mechanical functions of my heart. At 65 years old I have made it most of the way to the finish line and feel as healthy as I did 30+ years ago. It is truly the diet that even made this possible. I do believe that Dr. Chen will faithfully keep the watch over me that will keep me as tuned up as possible, for my outside of the box dietary concerns!

I had the very same experience with her She is cold uncaring and very impatient with my brother who is also a Parkinson patient. My brother could not answer her question quickly and she was huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes. I don't have any of my questions answered. Also he is over medicated. and she keeps refilling the meds. He should be taking no more than 30 pills a month and he is taking 240 Sinemet pills a month.

My sister was seeing this doctor for her Parkinsons. She had the DBS device implanted and this doctor was clueless when it came to treating her. Dr. Chen takes DAYS to return calls, don't treat calls as an emergency, does not have an emergency contact # on hand, and doesn't know how to treat my sister. She doesn't know the medicines and she doesn't know the device settings. Her expertise is of a graduate student. Don't go to her at all. Go elsewhere. She caused my sister a LOT of grief, anxiety, and depression.
