I had my thyroid removed August 2022 by Dr.Chen. He is absolutely amazing. I was incredibly nervous prior and he addressed all of my concerns promptly. I am making a swift recovery and slowly returning back to my old self. You can genuinely tell that Dr. Chen genuinely cares for his patients. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Dr. Chen for genuinely caring for your patients. I am grateful to you.

Our first visit today. We got an appointment within 24 hours of calling. Hardly any wait. A welcoming staff and a clean office. Dr. Chen is one of the kindest doctors I have ever met. Genuinely warm, caring, informative and spends a lot of time asking questions. We will visit him again soon for a minor surgery for my hubby. We both highly recommend this wonderful doctor!
