Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2023
I had been suffering lower back pain for years. I was receiving treatment elsewhere with no success. I had a cyst in my sacral area that was causing me excruciating pain. I opted to seek help from another doctor. I was referred to USC Keck by a family member who is a patient there and told me to give them a try as she was very happy with the care she received. I made an appointment with Dr. Chen. He reviewed my scans and said he could help me through surgical intervention. I was skeptical at first but when he explained the procedure, he basically answered my questions without having to ask them because he explained everything so beautifully in a manner I can understand. The surgery went well and immediately after surgery, the pain I went in for was gone!! My quality of life has improved 100%. Dr. Chen literally saved my life because the pain I was in was unbearable. Thank you Dr. Chen and all his staff. You’re all amazing at what you do.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
