Patient Reviews
May 25, 2024
Dr. Chen was very informative, proficient, and highly competent in considering the impact of my 74-year-old mother's severe osteoporosis, cancer, and compromised autoimmune system on her spinal fusion. My mother's spine was severed in half causing her severe pain and confining her to bed 24 hours. The surgery was quick and effective. The surgery site was clean and without complications. Dr. Chen achieved his promise. The day after the surgery my mother was able to stand up and walk again. She no longer has back pain which tremendously elevated her quality of life. My family completely trusts Dr. Chen for his work ethic and compassionate care. We would return to Dr. Chen for future treatment and can confidently recommend Dr. Chen to other family and friends.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I believe in caring for and treating every patient as though they were my own family – with expertise, compassion, and the highest level of care. I strive to partner with patients to provide individualized and meticulous care, working together to find the best possible treatment plan to achieve a successful outcome.
