Patient Reviews
Oct 09, 2017
Dr. Melinda Chen is the most compassionate doctor I have ever met at UCSD. She spends so much time with me at each visit. I always leave our visits feeling like I am in good hands, and she has always been right about the diagnosis. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Melinda Chen to all. She is a fabulous doctor and I hope to have her for many years to come as my doctor.
