The level of service I have experienced under Dr. Chen and his staff has been excellent. They are kind, professional and thorough in my treatment. Examinations, diagnosis, and treatment have always been thorough. My plan of treatment is discussed with me on every visit, and steps are taken to insure I am treated not just for my pain, but also as an individual. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone needing the services provided.
