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.

I was told Dr Chen was the best. And he is!
Dr Chen is an outstanding professional and surgeon with such a friendly personality. Thank you, Dr Chen!

Thank you Dr. Chen!
I highly recommend Dr. Chen! I had a painful and unsightly pinguecula on my eye that I wanted removed. I was so terrified to undergo surgery but Dr. Chen put my worries at ease. Now two months later, I am all healed and so happy I got it done! No more pain and my eye looks brand new!

Lower bleph- 100% happy!
I had a lower bleph/eyelid bag removal surgery in October 2021, and am absolutely thrilled with the results. Dr. Chen was amazing: very thorough, kind, and incredibly skilled. I was also very happy with the surgical clinic at Desert Ridge in Phoenix, and the anesthesiologist was excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Chen.

My eyelids drooped to the point where I had about half the sight I should have. Was very nervous to have surgery, but wanted to see again. Dr. Chen calmed all my fears. He was VERY professional and explained in detail the procedure. His staff made all the arrangements with insurance. The surgery was performed at Desert Ridge Outpatient Surgery Center. The staff there was awesome. The outcome of my surgery was perfect! I can see again. Dr. Chen and his staff are wonderful. Could not have asked for a better experience or outcome. G.

A TRUE PROFESSIONAL! I am in the television and entertainment business and (although shallow) my appearance on the stage is very important to my career. I am thrilled with my results with Dr. Chen and his staff...I went for a trans lower bleph, and although I was not a slam dunk candidate or a 10 out of 10 who was in dire need of a procedure, Dr. Chen told me very clearly that I was a 5-6 and what to expect...and I am very happy with the results! There is more healing time, but what I love about this experience was that Dr. Chen and his staff were the following: professional, EXCELLENT BEDSIDE MANNER, listened to me (I even had a list of questions on a piece of paper and there was no eye rolling, sighs, or impatience from him), and he is skilled! It is very hard to find that combination in any business, never mind ocularplastic surgery... He also is not too “aggressive“ in his surgeries—as in the oversculpted and swollen looks of so many people today—that he gives you a wonderful r

I had droopy eyelids that impeded my vision and I was referred to Dr. Chen by Dr. Kelly Cross, my optometrist. I had gone in for my yearly eye exam and she said I think you need to have blepharoplasties. I scheduled an appointment and went in, had the testing needed for the insurance company and once approved, the procedure was scheduled. Both eyes needed to be done but it was one at a time. Both experiences were exceptional and I am very pleased with the result. Dr. Chen and his staff both in office and at the out patient surgery center were very professional but very personable. I always felt that I was in good hands and highly recommend Dr. Chen. My husband also had the surgery on one eye and his experience and result were the same as mine.

Dr. Chen was very thorough explaining the procedure. He neglected to say it would be PAIN FREE, and for that I am very thankful. His office staff, especially Audrey, went that extra mile to solve a problem with my insurance company.

Dr. Chen is a rock star! I was referred to him by my Opthomologist to address issues I have with my right upper lid. Dr. Chen performed two surgeries with great results and explained everything completely before, during and after. He has a wonderful "bedside manner" and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends

Dr. Chen and his staff are very professional and caring. The procedure was explained completely, which lessened any anxiety I had. The healing was just as expected and any questions I had during that time was answered with a phone call to his office. I highly recommend Dr. Chen.
