Overcome being Overwhelmed
Functional Medicine Doctor Near Me that Does Relentless Health for those who are Sensitive or in Pain All the Time
RECLAIM YOUR LIFE AND VITALITY
At Focused Wellness®, I believe that true wellness comes from a holistic Functional Medicine approach to health care.
Can you imagine being less sensitive to the world around us? Not worrying about:
- light/sound
- chemical smells
- computers/wifi
- other people’s emotions
- reactions to medications/supplements
You could go into the crowded store and lazily enjoy your shopping. You can go to parties with a fair amount of people and not be overwhelmed by the situation. There is help for highly sensitive individuals.
My unique health practice blends the best of Western, Eastern, and other Medicines.
- MD with honors (Albany Medical College 1990)

- Neural Therapy and Perineural Injection Therapy – treatments for the Nervous System (Dr Jeff Harris, ND)

It is ALL THE ABOVE AND MORE….for the Best Possible Care for my clients.
With my Integrative approach, you can tap into the power of my training, experience, and effective Medical therapies, so that you can reclaim your life – live life without pain or sensitivity to your environment. We can manage your sensitivity concerns.

Autism is treatable!
It is not about teaching your child the right behaviors.
It’s about fixing the mind/body so that your child can emerge from the cocoon of autism. I have been trained thru MAPS.
I can help guide your child and you thru treatment so that autism will be in the past not your future.
For more info, check out my blogs on autism
Electrohypersensitivity treatment is not about avoiding all of modern technology.
We can’t get rid of technology but we can change some of your environment and make your mind/body stronger so that you can tolerate watching some Internet and talking on the cellphone.
Enjoy nature but also be part of the modern world when you want to.
For more info, please read my blogs on Electrohypersensitivity(EHS)
Long Covid is treatable! It is not about going to a Long Covid clinic and seeing multiple specialists.
It is about seeing an integrative doctor who can take care of Covid issues as well as the health issues that you had before Covid.
The Covid makes your health issues worse so you need someone who can take care of your preexisting health issues AND Covid.
“I was suffering from the devastating symptoms of long haul Covid and had been unable to find relief with primary doctor…for over a year. It has been around six months since I started seeing him…he continues to help me improve my health further.
I cannot recommend Dr. Chen enough. He possesses an incredible level of knowledge…an all-around excellent doctor to work with.“
Michael L.

Do you want treatment to be more than just medications?
Vitamins have been studied to help treat depression/anxiety/bipolar with less side effects(walshinstitute.org) and there are other integrative therapies that can help.
For more info, please read my blogs on emotional health.
Do you treat autoimmunity by stopping the immune system?
NO
You treat autoimmunity by fixing the immune system. Something’s wrong with the immune system – perhaps too much chemicals, too much emotional trauma, an infection, or a combination of issues.
We find out what’s going on and fix the immune system. That’s the way to treat autoimmunity.
An Experienced Practitioner You Can Trust
As a top graduate of my medical school class, I have spent over 30 years honing my skills as a practitioner of Western medicine, Functional medicine, Integrative medicine, Acupuncture, and other effective therapies. I have developed a passion for understanding how the body works and have extensive knowledge of food, genetics, biochemistry, emotions, and the nervous system.
My patients benefit from my compassionate and dedicated approach to care, as well as my commitment to offering personalized and holistic solutions.
Whether you are struggling with being too sensitive to the people and environment around you or other complex medical conditions, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your maximum health potential.
