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.

Dr. Chen was great at explaining my condition in a way that was easy to understand. He took all the time that was needed to answer my questions. He offered other potential options than surgery if that was what I wanted, but I opted for the surgery and feel great! He has a great personality and was very easy talk to. His PA Nick was also fantastic, and they made a great team. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chen.
