She always takes time to listen to what you are saying or asking. Also, she takes time to teach you how to use the the medication correctly that she prescribed. I would consider her a valuable asset to the patient and the Mass Eye and Ear.

Dr. Chen is fantastic. She's remarkable. I can't say enough good things about her. The care at Mass Eye and Ear is amazing, to say the least. From start to finish, from making appointments to getting there and being seen, it's all a very good process, a fast process. It's expedited. I've never seen it better than it is now. The care I received from Mass. Eye and Ear is incredible, and I love Mass. Eye and Ear. Thank you.

I drive from the North Shore to see Teresa Chen, which is a bit of a hassle in traffic, but I will ALWAYS make that trip - she is the consummate wonderful physician. She is so smart, so thoughtful, listens completely, always introduces any interns/residents working with her, and I always leave the office feeling fully reassured about the state of my glaucoma treatment. MEE should just clone her :). Occasionally there is a wait because she is so busy, but she is 100% worth my time.
