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.

Excellent surgeon... excellent results!
I was so worried that there would be complications from my knee replacement, but it went very well, and I had great results! Six months after surgery, and it's such a relief to have a knee that works the way it should!

Referred
Her sent me to another physician. But perscribed a wristbrace that he told me it needed to wear in the meantime. Unfortunately, he never fitted me for the brace so it didn't fit and I had to pay for it anyway. I'm happy I was referred to another doctor. I didn't need to wear the brave in the end.

Takes time and shows he cares
What stood out is that he took time to look at my X-rays and afterwards reviewed them again. Found an issue and called me about it. Hoping to get to the bottom of my pain.

Treated for hip and leg pain
I was running and it felt like I tore and burned my leg into. I called a few days later and they got me in to see Dr Chen. He took X-rays and evaluated my situation. Was thorough with exam on hip area and what he saw. Wished I’d of asked more about the tear and burn pain in back of thigh and will address at next visit. PT was ordered and pain meds given. I like to “fix” issues not coat them and I believe he feels the same on that. He was nice and treated me with respect at all times. I would see him again.

I saw the doctor who was very professional, agreed to see me on super short notice and did not make light of the pain I was in. I’m still waiting to be scheduled for the MRI and won’t have a definitive diagnosis until then but was happy with my care so far!

Excellent Bedside Manner
Dr. Chen is very professional, friendly and an excellent listener. He throughly discussed the various options for my rotator cuff surgery. My office visits with him are very fast. I am not made to wait long before actually meeting with him. I would recommend making an appointment with his office if you are seeking a knowledgeable orthopedic specialist.

Great visit
I didn't wait long to be seen. The staff are familiar faces. After xrays, Dr. Chen came in with my x-rays. He explained all the options, any injection and physical therapy. Dr. Chen gave me a cortisone shot. Dr. Chen did my left knee replacement, he's rebuilt both of my shoulders. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do this. I have recommended Resurgens and Dr. Chen to friends.

Would recommend
I was having trouble with pain in my elbow and it was getting worse over the last two months. Dr. Chen was very attentive and listened to my concerns without jumping directly to a conclusion. He came up with a plan and allowed me the time to ask questions. I would recommend him.

Dr. Chen was very attentive and patiencent during my visit. He listened to my problems I am experiencing with my knees and hip. After xrays were taken, he sat down with me to confirm what he earlier diagnosed and explained what he saw in the xrays. Dr. 'Chen then provided me with several options on how to deal with my pain. These options included shots, physical therepy, and surgery. I liked the fact that Dr. Chen provided me with options and not go directly to surgery. I will recommend Dr. Chen to my family and friends for their orthopedic care.
