Patient Reviews
Jun 02, 2024
Dr. CHEN GAVE US THE MOST THOROUGH & PROFESIONAL EYE EXAM WE HAVE HAD IN HALF A CENTURY OF THE BEST PRIVATE MEDICAL CARE. We are retirees moved from Princeton, NJ and looking for eye care. We have Medicare and Supplemental G. We found Dr. Chen and confirmed she IS TAKING NEW PATIENTS & DOES ACCEPT MEDICARE. The Doctor is very kind and meticulous. We were warmly welcomed when we came in when Dr. Chen began the exam she explained each procedure and inquired repeatedly if we were comfortable as she talked us through the exam. The only cost we needed to pay was for dilation of our pupils which IS NOT PAID BY MEDICARE but is necessary if we wanted her to see inside our eyes to evaluate our cataracts and inner eye health. She was quick to discover why I was having trouble reading the fine print. My wife’s eyes were dry and irritated so she prescribed inexpensive OTC products to wash our eyelids to eliminate bacteria and irritants. We left with a clear plan & new vision script & BIG SMILES!
