About Megan Chen, MD, MPH 

Board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine, Megan Chen, MD, MPH decided to pursue medicine while in high school doing volunteer work with the elderly. The “Spring Fling” event at the Cupertino Senior Center was the defining moment that inspired her to consider primary care. While there, she met extraordinary vivacious people, filled with a sense of serenity and fulfillment. Moments like these made her want to maintain her own optimal health, as well as help other people to achieve theirs by providing care for them throughout their lives.  

Dr. Chen received her medical degree from the Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. She completed both her internship and residency at the Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, California.  

As a family practitioner, Dr. Chen enjoys building lasting relationships with her patients. She helps her patients understand their illnesses and empowers them with the knowledge needed so they can improve their own lives. She strongly believes in preventive care, and she incorporates her Masters in Public Health (MPH) training into her philosophy of practice.  

Dr. Chen was born in California in the Silicon Valley and is of Taiwanese-American descent. Outside of work, you can often find Dr. Chen trying out a new restaurant with her husband and three children, or you may find her practicing her deep breathing at vinyasa yoga. 

This was my first appointment with Dr. Megan Eng-Ling Chen. She was very attentive, caring, helpful and informative. Answered all my questions and provided valuable feedback to my concerns. I found the best one! Check in process was easy and quick, receptionist – welcoming, helpful and polite. Thank you Providence, Dr. Eng-Lin Chen and staff!

Dr Chen is outstanding! She's attentive, knowledgeable and guides me to living a healthy life. So thankful I found her as my primary care physician. Unfortunately an available time for scheduling a physical was longer than optimal but worth the wait.

Everyone values different things in a doctor, but for me Dr. Chen is a near perfect balance of listening, being open minded to my specific needs, body, history, personality, desires as a patient while having deep knowledge and clear suggestions. It feels like talk as partners in my health which I really appreciate. She comes off as empathetic and interested, and is willing to provide choices and options to deal with health issue, not just commands or orders - which is very important to me. She is willing to say 'I don't know' or 'I need to look into that' which is HUGE. I've had way too many doctors in my life who seemed to feel they must come off as knowing everything about everything off the top of their heads -- and then proving to be wrong - sometimes dangerously so - later on. I feel no risk of that with Dr. Chen. Her humility and humanity makes her a perfect doctor for me.
