Patient Reviews
Oct 29, 2024
I have had the opportunity to receive treatment from Dr. Chen on two separate occasions, and both experiences were remarkable. During each visit, he took the time to listen to my concerns regarding the anxiety and discomfort I was facing in my shoulder and hand. With his thorough assessment and tailored approach, he was able to provide effective relief that significantly improved my condition. Dr. Chen’s expertise, combined with his compassionate demeanor, put me at ease throughout the process. I genuinely feel that he is an outstanding orthopedic specialist, and I am confident in his ability to provide the best care possible. I wouldn’t consider seeking treatment from anyone else regarding my shoulder and hand issues.
