      I travel 45 minutes to see Dr Chen when there is a pain management physician 10 minutes from my house. He spends time with me, shows me MRI films & explains my problems. He is also concerned about the whole person not just the back pain but how treatment, meds & dosages may interact with other medical diagnoses I have. He encourages trying to be as active as I can. Dr Chen cares about his patients. We are not just another number.

      Since I experienced a network issue while attempting to complete this survey the first time, I am uncertain what was saved and what wasn't, so pardon me if I repeat myself. Dr. Chen was very understanding in my decision to not go in one direction of treatment, due to my family history of dementia, and he respected my decision.
