Patient Reviews
May 09, 2024
I was on the fence about bariatric surgery, and Dr. Chen talked to me like a friend or family member about it. Clearly and confidently stated how much this would benefit my life. I was 360lbs and on track to 400lbs with diabetes. ~14 months later I am now 200lbs and fitter and healthier than ever and have a long-term health strategy.
