Focused Wellness® Richard Chen MD Reviews

We had a great experience with Dr. Chen. I took my son in for a wellness visit/checkup. Dr. Chen was so attentive and thorough. He answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone looking for a integrative doctor.

A great experience with a dedicated and intelligent MD that practices integrative medicine. We’re so fortunate to have a doctor like this in Sonoma county.

Dr. Chen is personable, and a great listener; his recommendations are affective and elicit a better expression of what is really on my mind.

I've consulted a number of Functional Medicine doctors in the San Francisco Bay Area. Dr Chen is one of my top 2! If you live far, go drive to see him. Depending on your situation, you may be able to have some of your appointments via telemedicine. If you are looking for a holistic medicine/integrative health, I encourage you to work with Dr. Chen.

Dr Chen is very emphatic and really listens to your concerns.

Had a session with Richard and Im very glad i did. He is very insightful and caring. I highly recommend him. I had two issues that he helped me with the most important one is his advice on how to improve my sleep~

Dr. Chen is so comprehensive in his care. I recently had a follow-up after not seeing him for a couple years and I was confident that he would be able to help me with my current health needs with all of my past history considered. I know he is always aimed at helping me get to the root cause and best course of action to bring balance to my body.

Both my wife and I have been seeing Dr Chen for several years. My wife has been dealing with a chronic illness for almost 30 years and Dr Chen has really helped accelerate her healing. He is a very good listener and problem solver, always broadening his knowledge.

What a blessing to have met Dr Chen. He has an uncanny ability to diagnose problems other physicians missed, and helped me through a period of hyperthyroidism and other maladies. If it weren't for him, I'd have gone down the tubes and had a much longer recovery time which would've been devastating to my career. He was by far the most ethical and kindest physician I met during my healing journey, and I met way too many during that period of my life. Suffice to say, I trust him so much now that if I have important health questions to ask, I will book an appointment to bounce ideas off him as a sanity check.

Dr R. Chen is someone I've seen a number of times. He is patient and caring. He goes out of his way to answer any questions and offers suggestions which I find very helpful. Some illnesses take more time to understand than mainstream medicine may have the time or background to treat wholistically. Either way, Focused Wellness is a fine option which I recommend.

Richard is well organized and combines the best of “alternative” medicine with that of more traditional treatment. His recent treatment resulted in my being pain-free for the first time in a while. I’m waiting to see how effective his recommendation for supplements are and I will report on that as time goes on. He's competent and compassionate in his treatment and spends as much time as is necessary to the patient.

I had the fortunate experience to have seen Dr. Richard for health care. He was professional, kindly, curious, and really accurate in his summation of my concerns. Dr. Richard exceeded any expectation I had. I’m so excited to see my health and wellness get better and sustain me in my later years. Dr. Richard is not the future of medicine he is the medicine!

Dr. Richard Chen is the epitome of a healer, what we all desire in our physicians. His strengths include not only his brilliant scientific mind and methodical approach to problem-solving, but also his ability to create relationship with his patients. He is an active listener, validates his patients’ experience and follows data from the body to inform the next therapeutic step; he is a true partner in the healing process. Even though he was my doctor for only a year, his words of wisdom that my body is my laboratory still echo in my mind. They helped me to remember that I too am an expert on my own body and they set me on a path to getting myself back.

My experience with Dr. Chen was a life-changing one. I was suffering from the devastating symptoms of long haul Covid and had been unable to find relief with my primary doctor at Kaiser for over a year. However, Dr. Chen was attentive and listened to my story, and then recommended a course of treatment and supplements that helped me feel better within two weeks. It has been around six months since I started seeing him, and he continues to suggest new supplements and treatments to help me improve my health further. I cannot recommend Dr. Chen enough. He possesses an incredible level of knowledge, and his integrative care approach blends various practices to provide a more extensive range of treatments. Additionally, he is an extremely friendly person, making him an all-around excellent doctor to work with..

Dr. Chen is a functional medicine practitioner and he has helped our family finally get answers for long standing health issues. He is a medical doctor, but specializes in Chinese medicine, so he recognizes the impact that nutrition, the environment, mental and emotional health has on the body. We have learned a lot from him in our health journey and we are particularly thankful for his understanding of biochemistry. Dr. Chen is a warm and compassionate, attentive doctor and we are so thankful that we found him.

Dr. Chen is a gifted physician -- a true healer, getting to root causes rather than just symptoms. I have gone to him for chronic fatigue and surgery guidance and he has given me expert guidance with nutrition, supplements, and emotional release. I have found his work with lasers and magnets to create powerful pain relief within 24 hours. He is generous, kind-hearted, and highly committed to his work. I highly recommend Dr. Chen as a physician.
