Patient Reviews
Feb 18, 2022
I had a consult appointment with Dr Chen for a badly torn tendon in my shoulder. He explained my condition and situation more clearly than any of the other docs I consulted with. My confidence in his ability is quite high. This group of doctor treat many of the Pro teams in the Bay Area and see much worse than what I walked in with. Staff were very nice and a nurse practitioner did a very thorough pre-screen with me. I felt like this is a very collaborative group of professionals and lots of respect for each other. No pressure to hurry, lots of time for questions and tangents.
