Dr. David Chen, MD
Dr. David Chen is a board-certified family-medicine physician whose practice spans pediatric vaccination clinics, adult primary care, and supervised home-injection coaching for patients on long-acting hormone therapy. The bulk of the technique content on InjectCompass, site rotation, pinch versus stretch, plunger dwell, what a normal injection-site reaction actually looks like, passes across his desk before publication. He brings two decades of clinic-floor experience teaching first-time injectors and a meticulous eye for the small details that determine whether a dose actually lands subcutaneously. Dr. Chen completed medical school at Columbia and family-medicine residency at Mount Sinai. He maintains active medical licenses in New York and New Jersey, and discloses no industry relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers, device makers, or telehealth operators.
