Dr. Shen immigrated here from Taiwan and completed his secondary education in San Gabriel, California. He then attended UCLA for his undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and graduate degree in Master of Public Health.

He worked for a year with the Los Angeles Homeless Health Care Project, providing preventative health care for families without a home. Not seeing much direct impact to the families as a public health worker, Dr. Shen sought to become a medical doctor. He was accepted to the Chicago Medical School, where he completed additionally a Master's degree in Physiology and his Medical Doctorate.

He was accepted into the Combined Internal Medicine and Pediatric residency at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, UCLA School of Medicine. The four years intensive in-patient training prepared Dr. Shen for all in-hospital and intensive care level sicknesses for adults, children, and newborns.  After completing his residency, Dr. Shen worked for a year at Stanford Medical Group as a Staff Physician and Associate Faculty for the Division of General Internal Medicine. He also worked part-time with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford.

To date, Dr. Shen remains active as Adjunct Clinical Assistant Professor with the Division of General Medical Disciplines Stanford School of Medicine.  Additionally, he serves as the Medical Director for the O'connor Pediatric Urgent Care Santa Clara Valley Health System along with being a Newborn Hospitalist for Regional Medical Center Santa Clara Valley Health. 

Dr. Shen continues to be a primary care provider for generations of families in the South Bay area.  In his spare time, he enjoys all things basketball UCLA and travelling with family and friends.
