Albert Chen Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

Dr. Chen is an amazing & wonderful doctor! He did my gastric sleeve procedure the day before Thanksgiving (ugh I know...) I was terrified of surgery he easily put me at ease by reassuring me that everything will be alright. He gave me his stats and percentages. He answers all of my questions . He will not leave you with any questions he is very thorough. If you were planning on getting bariatric surgery I would suggest Albert Chen

Dr. Chen did the information session I attended and I was impressed by his demeanor. He seemed very calm and knowledgeable. When I met him in his office he was patient and answered all my questions. I didn't feel rushed and he acted as if my questions were appreciated and welll thought out. The office staff seems very nice, but I get the feeling they don't communicate amongst themselves very well. I have been going through all the pre-op tests and am waiting for all the paperwork to be completed so that I can get a surgery date. I've had everything completed, including insurance authorization, but keep getting told everything is still not at the office, so I have to keep waiting! There is a good structure in place for pre and post care; it's just the lack of communication from the office staff that gives me some concern. I don't know enough yet about Dr. Chen to give an opinion, but I felt comfortable about the way he presented the information during the info session and when we had our first appointment. I think both surgical competence and bedside manner are very important to me. I definitely want a great surgeon, but because I'm sensitve, I need to have good bedside manner or I feel like something is wrong.
