Patient Reviews
Jan 07, 2025
Dr. Chen is very caring and compassionate. He took the time to explain the surgical process so I understood all the details. When I felt scared, he reassured me that everything would be ok. I get so many compliments on my eyes, they look so natural and symmetrical. Love them!
