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.

I’m always satisfied with my visits.

I would not recommend him period!
Told him I was in pain. He said there's nothing he could do. Told me to take OTC pills for the pain. Won't go back!

A really nice man!
I have RA so I see Dr Chen about every 6 months, he explains everything in every day language so everything is easy to understand! the only bad thing is he needs to stop taking patients as it takes forever ( for me 9 months) to get an initial appointment!

Very rude and refused to help.
This doctor told me I was lying about my rheumatoid even after I was with a previous Dr for 20 years for the same conditions. He wrote 2 Dr notes for different reasons. One even said to my employer I'm writing the note because the patient asked me to and nothing is wrong with her. She just doesn't want to work. My files stated we spoke about issues that we never discussed at my appointment. He has no sympathy for patients. I showed up with knots all over me to be told nothing is wrong and you don't have rheumatoid. He flat out asked, ``So what do you expect me to do. I do NOT recommend him. If you do then check charts and codes that were billed with the insurance company.

I really appreciate Dr Chen
Dr Chen is very knowledgeable about arthritis. He's easy to talk to and always on time. He doesn't rush into harsh treatment . He has me try the simplest treatment first. If that doesn't work he moves to the next level. I truly appreciate that.

Terrible. If you are not a perfect weight, he’ll spend the entire appt harping on needing to lose weight. And offer no guidance on how to do that. I was barely eating 1000 calories a day after giving birth, and he just assumed I ate to much and to eat less. When I told him how little I was eating, he ignored me and moved on. I’ve seen him for nearly three years now, and with little to no relief from the horrible pain I’m in. He won’t order more testing, or anything if use. But he’s the only dr my insurance covers, so I’m stuck with him.

Dr Chen is a fine doctor. My only complaint is my appointment was for 1:15 and I didn’t get to see him until almost 2:00. Too much waiting room time.
