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.

Compassionate care
After having a car accident and a neck injury, Dr. Chen took his time answering my questions and even evaluating a symptom I did not think was connected, but was. I didn’t feel rushed or dismissed and I highly recommend him if you are in need of a specialist For your pain.

THERE’S NO ONE LIKE DR CHEN.
Dr Chen treated my horrible SI JOINT pain with an injection and the relief was just amazing. I traveled to Peru after that and had a great visit, I was able to dance, walk, hiked and completely pain free. The injection lasted for 4 years! I went back to him two weeks ago, and I had the same fantastic results. Dr Chen is very pleasant. His calm demeanor made me feel relaxed and comfortable. His staff, nurses, and Al are all friendly. I hope nobody steals him from all of us because again, he is the best.

Great doc who’s face you never see
I have been to Dr. Chen’s office five times for my neck issues: initial, first procedure, follow up, second procedure, follow up and the actual treatment. I only visually saw him at the initial one. For the two procedures and treatment, he chooses to enter after I’m already in position when I’m face down and then only communicates verbally. Each time I have hinted that I’d like to see him. Follow ups are with a really good PA named Al. His treatments are very good, but this impersonal style to me is very weird. Maybe it’s just me, because I’m used to having interpersonal and trusting relationships with all of my healthcare providers. Dr. Chen may not realize he’s coming off very aloof. Again… my opinion.

Dr. Chen and his PA Al are Amazing
I was in so much pain that no other doctor wanted to help me or care to help me because of my insurance. Dr. Chen read my whole medical history which took him two days. he ordered test to be done and the diagnosis came in. So now he’s helping me deal with my pain with kindness and compassionate. Then I have the PA Al, who has the same kindness and compassion.

Great Doctor!! Wonderful staff.
Dr. Chen is the most knowledgeable and professional doctor I have ever met.He explains everything about the patient and the process of treatment. He cares so much about the patients, not just treating the pain but the patient. He gives you plenty of time and information concerning your medical care. The staff at this office is amazing, everyone has been so very helpful and supportive from the initial phone call to receiving the patient information packet to everything that is needed to make your appointment pleasant and easy. I couldn’t think of a better team of professionals. I feel so grateful to have found them and this will be my medical team for what I hope is forever. If you are in need of help with any amount of Pain Management, Dr. CHEN and his team are the only way to go.

This was a follow-up appointment from having RFA done on my neck bilateral on 5-6-24. And seen Mike Hux and yes those procedures do help me alot and have been going to Dr. Chen since late 2016 and he is the best and so is Mike Hux and everyone are wonderful and easy to talk to and they listen and care about you and your health and are willing to go the extra mile to make sure your pain level is manageable. I would not go anywhere else.
