Austin Chien, MD

Hometown: San Gabriel, California. I grew up in the Pasadena area of Southern California, then went to Cornell University for undergrad. From there, I moved to Philadelphia, where I worked in a research lab at the University of Pennsylvania before getting my MD from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Having spent about 10 years in the Northeast, I'm glad to be back in warmer weather in Arizona, where I enjoy running, weightlifting and spending time with my wife and son (and our corgi). Some fun facts about me: I minored in creative writing as an undergrad, and I was a competitive fencer for several years prior to medical school.
