Dr Chen always takes the time to answer questions, never seems rushed even though I’m sure he is. He is knowledgeable and takes into account the person as a whole and how to best expand their quality of life. I’d highly recommend.

Dr Chen was excellent. He explained what he saw in my X-rays and gave me recommendations about what might come next to make me feel better. We decided to give shots into myn hips and we did that. He is so gentle and didn’t hurt me a bit. Now we wait to see how much my discomfort is relieved. I would highly recommend him.
