We are all male factor infertility and dr Chen was very good about only doin the tests needed so they could get the information we needed to move forward with ivf. I was sexually abused as a teenager and dr Chen was very good at explaining exactly what he needed to do before doing it which helped me feel a lot more at ease.... Every visit dr Chen knew exactly who we were and remembered things we had discussed in previous appointment. He was very sensitive to our religious and moral beliefs throughout this whole process
