Reviews
Wonderful GI Doctor and very thorough. Best of the best very happy with him .
Dr Chen is a brilliant, competent surgeon. He is blunt but in only in that you follow direction for procedure. He did an ERCP on me 2 years ago and cleared away the thickening and "sludge" He took a biopsy and stented me. I had zero problems with his ability to do this procedure well. The blockage/thickening has returned as Dr Nicastri checked it during my surgery to remove my gallbladder one month ago however labeled it a "stricture" in my body.
Dr. Chen is an extremely professional and compassionate GI doctor. He is very thorough and listens to his patients questions and concerns. He explains procedures in a reassuring way that allows his patients to feel less anxious. I highly recommend Dr. Chen! He's an expert in the gastrointestinal medical field.
Wonderful Physcian! He is very caring and patient!
My entire family have used Dr. Chen fr many years now. He's the best! I currently live in Mexico and have traveled back to Rhode Island to avail myself of his excellent care.
