Helping Seniors Navigate the Complexities of Medicare and Open Enrollment

By: Terry Jaillet

Chen Senior Medical Center offers seniors a whole new way of accessing medical services and provides a superior level of care. The family-owned primary and specialty care practice is committed to delivering superior healthcare to Medicare-eligible people.

Dr. Jenling James Chen founded Chen Senior Medical after his own experience with a life-threatening illness. In 2003, Dr. Chen was diagnosed with cancer and given only two months to live. He and his family experienced firsthand what it was like to be on the receiving end of patient care, struggling to access quality medical care while fighting for his life.

Dr. Chen recovered, defying his original diagnosis. And he knew he had to do something to help others in their time of need to overcome the frustrations he experienced with the existing fragmented and unsympathetic healthcare system. That's why he founded Chen Senior Medical Center, to turn the healthcare system around and make it more focused, convenient, and effective for the people who need it most - seniors.

With Medicare enrollment beginning this month, we sat down with Hollywood Center

Our doctors intentionally see just 400 hundred patients. That is a fraction of the 2,300 or more than 3,000 patients that most doctors see. So, we are set up well to create success for each and every one of our patients. We never rush time with our patients. We really get to know every patient and are able to listen. At Chen, you are so not just a name on a chart.

We serve you with kindness, dignity, and respect. The entire staff treats every patient like family - they take the time to get to know you and your health. You'll even get your doctor's cell phone number to use any time you need to. We offer walk-in, same-day, and virtual appointments and we have on-site tests, screenings, and most medications. We'll even arrange a ride to your appointment if you need one.

What can patients expect when they visit your office?

Patients can expect to feel loved, appreciated, listened to, and respected by their doctors and medical center care team. In fact, nearly 95 percent of our patients say that their provider genuinely cares for them, according to a recent survey by third-party research firm Medallia.

According to survey results, 96.7 percent feel respected by their doctor and 93.3 percent of our patients feel genuine care and concern demonstrated by their doctor. In addition, 90.3 percent felt the same care and concern was demonstrated by the staff at ChenMed's senior medical centers.

In 2021, 98.6% of Patients in Hollywood said that they were satisfied with their doctor – this was the best score in South Florida and 2nd out of over 100+ centers inside the company.
