Kevin Chen, MD

I went here for an annual physical. The office itself was fine, and the staff were helpful.
The doctor, Kevin Chen, was amazing. He was very personable and down-​to-​earth. Humble, as well. I’ve never been this impressed by the personality of a doctor before. He seems genuinely interested in his patients.
My previous doctors either took an «I know what I’m doing» attitude (not impolite, just distant), or came off as unsure about themselves. He’s right in the middle: humble but confident, and lets the patient know why he’s doing what he’s doing.
Another thing is that they do blood-​testing on-​site, so if you think you might want to get blood tests, fast for 9 – 12 hours before you go. I ate breakfast :-(

Dr. Kevin Chen embodies all the qualities that I want in a physician — knowledgeable, compassionate, focused. He is well plugged into the PAMF system and thus can recommend other doctors. He is quite responsive to emails and extremely attentive during office visits. No medical system is perfect but quality is measured by people not systems, and Doctor Chen is a great example of what personal care should be.

Great doctor going to him since I was 13 he has great bedside manner never rushes you and helps you to understand whats wrong

highly recommend
very patient, gentle and nice doctors,
responds really fast by emails
thx to the Palto Alto medical foundation

I love Dr. Chen and recommend him to anyone who is in need of a family physician. Dr. Chen has taken care of both me and my 7 year old for several years now, with patience and expert advice. Even when I call him frantic about one thing or another, his calm demeanor, sense of humor and timely response always put me at ease. I really enjoy working with him!

Dr Chen has been my primary care physician since 2008. He’s the best – compassionate, understanding, patient, pragmatic, practical, and gentle. Many doctors keep office visits to a set time – 15 minutes or so – but Kevin takes however long is needed to listen and understand. He’s great when you’re sick – very thorough and very good about explaining what the problem is and what the options are for treating any disorder. And he’s equally good when you are well and working to stay that way. I highly recommend him.

Just like I’m petrified of going to the Dentist, going to the Doctor is equally as scary for me.
I’ve been avoiding my «annual» medical checkup for 10 years. My wife has been on my ASS for five plus years about getting my butt in to see a Doc. Recently I have run out of excuses and my wife made an appointment for me.
I didn’t have a regular doctor so my wife did her research and thought Dr. Chen would be the one for me. He is Board Certified which I don’t know what exactly that means, but supposedly it’s a good thing. He is accepting new patients which at the time of the appointment was a bad thing. His office is close by our house which again is a good thing. Wait time in the lobby is kept to a minimum… if you stop and think about it, this can be a bad thing. He completed his undergrad at Brown which is the same school as my sister in-​law, good thing?
So how was my first visit? It was painless and strangely enjoyable. It turns out we had many common interests and has a broad knowledge beyond just the medical world.
Excellent Doctor and would not hesitate recommending him to anyone who has been procrastinating a check up.
