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.

The best of care
Dr. Chen is an outstanding doctor who, despite the enormous workload of all physicians, always manages to display patience and warm professionalism. Any questions I have are answered with care and in a thoughtful manner. He is a gem.

Dr Chen gets an A+ in my book. He removed a floater in my eye after cataract surgery. He is personable and will explain the procedures and answer any questions you have. I felt extremely comfortable and had a perfect outcome. I highly recommend him and would return in the future if warranted.

Dr. Chen, has done an excellent and professional job on my left eye. I walked into his office and could not see out of my left eye. With his professional advice and surgical skills and staff I was able to see again. What a true miracle in science.

I have been a patient of Dr Ward for many years. I recieved excellent care from him and his office staff. He retired last year before I stablished care with another doctor in the practice. Few weeks into the shut down, during the hight of uncertainty, I had a retinal detachment. Dr. Chen took me in as a patient, arrenged for emergency operation, and took care of me and my eye from that point on. Dr. Chen and his office staff are extremely knowedgeable, professional, caring and selfless. He risk his life to save my eye. I am forever indebted to him.

I have been seeing Dr Chen for about five years for macular degeneration. He is extremely professional and office is clean and inviting. There is free parking and office personal very friendly. I would definitely recommend him for any eye conditions you may have.

I have been a patient of Dr Chen for over 12 years. From our initial meeting I found him to be amiable and thorough, taking time to listen to my concerns, explain my condition alongside available options for treatment. Without a doubt, my eyesight continues to serve me well thanks to his treatment, review and care. As a patient, I visited the Santa Cruz Office for many years before moving to the Campbell Office. Both offices are comfortable and quiet environments served by friendly and efficient staff. For me, appointments have always been easy to arrange, even when circumstances required a change of date. Usually my appointments are punctual. Very occasionally there is a wait time due to an emergency, for which I am happy wait.
