Mar 03, 2023
I saw Dr. Chen today for the first time. He came into my appointment prepared and had already read the MRI, and notes from previous doctor. I also loved the fact that he shook my hand and firmly introduced himself. He diagnosed me immediately after a discussion and exam. Before him I saw 3 other doctors outside of UCLA. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Chen and would definitely see him again and recommend him.
