Amy D Chen MD | Kaiser Permanente

If I could give zero star, I would. I scheduled an appointment with Kaiser Permanente Renton, with Amy Diyi Chen MD -- she has been one of the least attentive, most unprofessional MD that I have ever seen in 35 years (living in Seattle). She literally FORGOT to place a lab test order for the most important thing that my appointment was for. I was FASTING that morning for nothing. After I messaged her office, she did not apologize. I had to be fasting again, waste time and gas to go to the lab for the second time. Then realized AFTER my 2nd blood work, Amy Diyi Chen MD ordered a blood test that I did NOT ask/need, and it was already done 2 months ago. TWO mistakes by the same MD in 2 months. I would absolutely not recommend this doctor.

Will not return to her care! She talked to me like I was small and ignorant. I was seeing her because I have other health issues and had recently started gaining weight. I wanted assistance in stopping this and gaining control of my body. I work out daily and am on a strict diet, allergic to many food groups. Her answer was 'you are fat because you need to eat less energy than you expel, move more, eat less.' I need to 'feel hunger pains all day long. That is the only way my body will eat the fat that I have put on it.' After that, she tells me that sometimes not knowing all these illnesses is best. That I need to stop going to doctors and getting tests. I have Thyroid Disease, Celiac Disease and was born with a slight case of Cerebral Palsy. I have been under doctors care since birth. WORST Experience. I felt fat and discouraged about my body.

Amy, was helpful. clear speaking and listened well. She asked good questions. She was not quick to jump to conclusions and did not immediately prescribe me a medication for symptoms. She explained the diagnostic path for the first step of figuring out what was going on and why. I really appreciated that!
