Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

sorry, but no
Very nice, and kind. But he missed a Nodule on my scan and after two years when another dr saw it and I asked him about it he would not answer me. And he is absolutely impossible to contact. So no matter how nice he is if he is not available to see or answer your questions he is just not giving good care. And missing a nodule on a scan is very very bad.

Dr Chen is the best doctor ever. He goes above and beyond, he will call you back even late into the evening so you aren’t waiting another day to hear from the doctor. He a lovely, caring human. He is thorough and makes sure you understand your diagnosis and treatment. He trusts me to know if my treatment is still working and always follows up. I would recommend him to everyone and I wish every doctor was like him.

Dr. Chen is simply a lovely man. He is patient, gentle and kind. Moreover, He is extremely knowledgeable and competent. I wish more physicians took the time he does with each patient to give complete care and attention AND make sure the patient can work with the insurance the have. I feel lucky to have Dr. Chen as my doctor.
