Jennifer Chen, M.D. — Local services in New York

Weill Cornell in general is a very good medical facility, however, I had a terrible visit with doctor Jennifer Chen on my last 2 visits and do not wish to see her ever. I was told that my cholesterol was high and I told her I will bring it down on my own. Dr. Chen said, she is going to give me a statin drug and I told her to give me something else if she thinks I must take because the last time I took it I had severe major muscle pain. I informed her that I live alone and will find it difficult to raise myself up to a standing position. She assured me it won't be bad, so I filled the prescription and within days the thigh pain started then the weakness. Upon seeing her again she said, it is still the same. I said to her that is odd since she did not do a new test and she dies not have access to Rogacine's labs. She stated that she was looking at it. I informed her that I will not take another stating because I must be able to do my activities of daily living as well get up and sit down. She said that I have to. So I asked her what about the 'Patient's Bill of Rights' and told her that I am exercising my rights to refuse treatment. She said, " you don't have any". She was badgering me into taking the drug and said she will give me 3 weeks to do whatever natural remedy you plan on using an D come back for me to see the result. So, I said to her, your drug was given to me for 4 months and according to you my cholesterol is still the same, but my was should take only 3 weeks. Then she said, I should look up alternative on the internet and she is writing me another prescription for another drug. At that time I was on the internet on my prose and she said, look at me, look at me, you are disrespecting me ( if as though she was speaking to a child). I told her I am not deft neither was I dumb and I am certainly not a child, I heard everything you said. I said you told me to look on the internet and that was what I was doing, then I repeated word for word what she had said and told her that was how I process things whenever a person is lecturing for a long time if I don't distract my mind I will not hear you, I will zone out. Then I told her that she does not know me or how I function so don't pass any judgment because many mannerism America says mean one thing or another means something entirely different in another culture. I do not ever want to see her again. Dr. Jennifer Chen, Cardiologist i was disrespectful and condescending towards me. She acted like I could not read. So I I formed her at the end that I have a...

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...

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Chen at Weill Cornell Cardiology, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was met by nurse Islam with a warm and professional approach that immediately put me at ease. She took my vitals and gave me a nice orientation. Islam was thoughtful, warm and caring. Dr. Chen came quickly and took the time to listen attentively to my health history and concerns, I was able to thoroughly explain my condition, and we discussed a clear plan moving forward. Dr. Chen’s expertise and compassionate approach made me feel confident that I was in the best hands possible for my care. In addition to Islam and Dr. Chen, the front desk staff was equally kind and efficient, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and the Cardiology team at WCM to anyone seeking top-notch...
