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.

His knowledge and personality, easy to talk to.

Highly recommended
Very knowledgeable and reassuring, and above all, he spends time talking with you and answering your questions. Not a hint of trying to rush off to the next patient. He's genuinely interested in you, and he clearly enjoys his job.

Dr. Chen was excellent. He asked all the pertinent questions, carefully drew a diagram so I could graphically understand what he was explaining, and proceeded most knowledgeably with an evaluation of my situation. He took ample time and made sure all my concerns were addressed as well as formulating the optimal treatment plan. I highly recommend him.
