Excellent doctor!
I greatly appreciated Dr. Chen taking the time to walk me through my MRI results in language I could easily understand. He was kind and professional.
Thanks to Dr Chen’s exceptional skill and outstanding care I have excellent results from a challenging hip replacement surgery. I feel better than I have in a long time and am grateful to the entire team and staff for their excellent work and a particular thanks to Dr Chen, his compassion, talent, always greeting us with a smile and careful attention.
Dr Chen is an excellent communicator, He is always thorough with his evaluation of my hip situation and answers all my questions.
Dr. Chen is friendly, personable, and amazingly knowledgeable about what I went in for…he made me feel relaxed and confident in regard to my upcoming surgery.
One hip replaced years ago with no issues. Dr Chen has a wonderful team!
Informative and pleasant visit. Did not feel rushed, felt confident in the plan forward. Dr. Chen replaced my hip 4.5 years ago with great results and this visit was to evaluate whether the other one needs it yet or not. A few good options were provided.
Friendly and very knowledgeable.
Good listener, well prepared, on time, well organized process and staff. Talked through options and presented recommended course.
Everyone in Dr Chen's office is kind and patient. I was never rushed. All my questions were answered. My hip replacement surgery was a total success.
