I-Jen Chen MD

I’ve had plenty of doctors in the past and this one stands out as by far, the worst. While visiting home, I was pressured by my family to see a Taiwanese doctor because all the elderly Taiwanese in my family had trusted him. It didn’t take long for me to figure out that they have low standards because they have not seen any other doctor in the Seattle area. This guy is probably only in business because of the Chinese or Taiwanese connection.
First of all, this guy has no tact whatsoever. While attempting to draw blood, which isn’t that hard, he showed his obvious frustrations when failing to find a good vein. He kept poking around, making me very nervous and saying things like «oh my god!» and «how do I do this?» I am the type of person who doesn’t like the idea of needles and would faint if I ever looked at the needle going into my body so naturally, I started getting very nervous and was shaking. He tried to tell me that I had a psychological problem because I couldn’t stay still anymore.
He was also very rude when giving me instructions for the urine sample. His directions were slightly confusing and when I he saw that I didn’t quite understand, he talked to me in a condescending tone and this is someone who is supposed to hold customer service to the highest standard. Very unprofessional.
I went in for a physical and when the results came in, he decided to just tell my dad over the phone instead of telling me. He could have asked me to call him back and not compromise patient privacy. There are many hateful words that I want to use to describe this man and seeing the other reviews really makes me angry that he can still practice.
I went to see this doctor back in 2008 before Unilocal was popular and because I was reminded of this unpleasant experience recently, I felt that I needed to write the review and raise awareness.
