Patient Reviews
Jul 14, 2021
I have been a patient of Dr. Chen's for a little over two years now. He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable but also efficient and precise in his recommendations and attention to detail. He diagnosed me with dry eye which I didn't even realize I had and he was able to make me so much more comfortable both during the day and especially at night while sleeping. I recently underwent the "TearCare" treatment at his office and he and his staff could not have been more wonderful. I tend to be a nervous patient and they were all so wonderful and kind to me. It was a completely pain free procedure and Dr. Chen explained the process every step of the way. I have so much relief after going through the procedure and am so thankful to Dr. Chen. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chen to anyone looking for a fantastic ophthalmologist. I am so thankful to have found him and his wonderful staff.
