I was very impressed with Dr. Chen. He was very thorough and explaining everything as well as gathering any additional information from me. He answered any questions I had and I would definitely recommend Cleveland Clinic the staff and Dr. Chin and his nurse.

Great doctor. Listens to the patient and provides options and resources if needed. His residents are very qualified and equally concerned that his patients do well in surgery and recovery. Superb physician. I don''t know what I would do without him.

My experience with Dr Chen and his staff was absolutely first class & when I left we had a plan. I won''t go anywhere else.

Dr Chen has a very full schedule and it has taken me a long time to get to see him
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/8/2026
Dr Chen is obviously very smart and on top of cutting edge evidenced based practices for the treatment of lymphedema but conveying the treatment practice to the patient could be improved.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/8/2026
I wished Dr. Chen had looked at records sent before meeting with me. I waited over 40 minutes past my scheduled time and had to wait in front of my laptop. I feel that I didn''t give the best and most crucial information for him to consider because I had expected he would have reviewed my records which would assist in my oral history of the disease process
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/6/2026
The staff went above and beyond to care for me. I was really hesitant of having to stay overnight in the hospital the care I received was exceptional. You can tell that all of the staff as well as Dr Chen really care about the patients.

Dr Wei Chen is an amazing doctor!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/2/2026
Dr Chen takes time to answer your questions. He talks to you and doesn''t rush the phone call. It''s obvious how much he cares about his patients. I''m so blessed to have him as my doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/26/2026
Dr. Chen was delayed joining the virtual visit an extended period of time. However, during that wait time, I received a message from his staff letting me know that he was running behind but would join the call as soon as possible.I appreciated that.

No fault of Dr. Chen, but I wish there were more specialist out thete who were knowledgable on Lipodema. He needs cloned. It just takes a long time to get an appointment.

Dr Chen listens to concerns and give ideas to resolve any issues.

Dr. Wei Chen was exceptional in every aspect. The time he spent with me to thoroughly explain every detail of the procedure he developed for my lymphedema was unprecedented in all of my medical history.

Dr Chen was very knowledgeable and patient with me. I appreciate the way the staff treated me. I didn't feel like just a number.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/28/2026
Dr. Chen is the most caring and concerned physician that I have yet to meet. He is an excellent listener and his bedside manner is excellent as well. Being a super micro surgeon is most definitely his higher purpose and calling.

I couldn't get on Zoom even though I've had many zoom visits with others. Dr. Chen called me and that was as good as a video. Everything about the Clinic and Dr Chen are caring, superb and professional.

I was most grateful that when we expressed concerns about my post-op course that Dr. Chen personally took time to do a virtual visit with my husband and me!

Dr Chen is just busy and hard to scheduled with.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/16/2025
Access was excellent, the only issue that I had is a nurse responded to a question that I had, and I re-asked the question directly to Dr. Chin and he gave me a different answer. So, maybe the nurses need to have an FAQ that Dr. Chin looks over before answering questions on his behalf.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/16/2025
I like that Dr. Chen I was took the time to answer my questions and was honest about what I needed to do before surgery Lose weight, etc. the entrance were also very helpful and answered other questions that I had.

I had a rose thorn in my left forearm that became infected. After going to Urgent Care, ER and my PCP two times, I was advised to see a surgeon to see if the foreign body was there or that my arm was healing. It was hard to get a quick appointment. I had to wait 2 weeks to see Dr Chen.

I have complete trust with Dr Chen, he is outstanding. The wait time is significant but that's because he has a high patient load.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/2/2025
The appointment was more of a information lecture than an interaction, but the physicians knowledge and understanding of my condition was top notch.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/22/2025
I realized immediately that Dr. Chen understood my condition with all of its symptoms and the quality of life issues that I feel. He knew the answers to all of my questions and made me feel comfortable asking them. He gave me hope that my quality of life will be better after I have the procedures that he is able to do.

Dr Chen was great! He explained everything clearly to us. I know he was busy but he didn't appear rushed. I only expected a 20-minute visit but he ordered tests, measurements etc that I hadn't expected. I really appreciated the thoroughness in evaluating my health issue.
