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.

Excellence!!
I want to share my deepest thanks for the outstanding care I received from Dr. Elaina Chen, the genius miracle-worker surgeon, and cheerleader during my first experience with plastic surgery. Dr. Chen was emotionally supportive, validating, and reassuring throughout the process. She took my concerns about my body seriously and knew the impact it had on a woman's self-esteem. Dr. Chen was a skillful, artist, whose superb vision and expertise made my hopes and dreams of a new life experience come true. Dr. Chen gave me the feeling that my situation was very important and significant to her, and this validated my feelings in immeasurable ways. Dr. Chen gave me a priceless gift I never imagined, nor will I ever forget! Thank you for your outstanding work, courage, positivity, and vision that made my life a more beautiful one!!

Dr. Chen and the entire team were absolutely fantastic. The process of a reduction mammaplasty excited yet terrified me- Dr. Chen and NP Stephanie Volo eased all my fears from day one. They were truly there for me through the entire process, making me feel as comfortable as possible. Very understanding and supportive of my past medical history and adjusted surgical and treatment plan accordingly. They had excellent communication, and they honestly seemed to care about all my concerns and had well-thought-out options. Dr. Chen is an absolute artist- she listened thoroughly to my desired look and surely outdid herself. I am so thankful that I found an incredible doctor and cannot thank the team enough for changing my life.

After a breast cancer diagnosis at age 40, and numerous consultations, I chose Dr. Chen for my reconstruction surgery and never looked back. I sought the empathy & support of a female doctor; she is bright and confident and caring. Three months after reconstruction surgery and I actually look like my old self again! I recommend Dr. Chen without reservation. Plus, her team, Stephanie & Cheryl, were professional and accessible throughout my procedures.

Dr. Chen performed a panniculectomy and abdominoplasty for me after a 100 pound weight loss and I'm VERY happy with the results so far (it's been 3 months). I have been really impressed with how she and everyone in her office have been so supportive from the initial consultation through the post-operative care.

Dr. Chen did an amazing job on my breast reconstruction. They are both as perfect as can be and I could not be happier with my results. If you want a surgeon that will get you the best results Dr. Chen is the one for you!

Dr Chen is extremely professional and a fantastic surgeon. I could not be happier with my results!! She performed both a tummy tuck and gynecomastia procedures from a major weight loss. She was phenomenal all the way through.

Dr. Chen is a great listener and takes her time with me. She is personable and professional. I was comfortable throughout my experience with her and the fact that she took before and after pics really helped me to see the difference. I highly recommend her as I have been to other doctors but she exceeded my expectations!
