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.

Our family has been incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Sonia Chen as our go-to ENT specialist. She has consistently provided exceptional care, support, and guidance for our family through various health challenges. Her expertise has been invaluable in diagnosing and treating my mother's hearing loss, managing her cancer, and assisting my wife with a facial infection. Dr. Chen's professionalism and dedication to her patients are truly outstanding. She has performed multiple surgeries and biopsies for our family, all with great success. Her genuine care and concern for her patients are evident in every interaction, as she goes above and beyond to accommodate their needs. When we requested her last-minute attendance at a tumor board meeting, she graciously accepted the invitation and shared her valuable insights. Dr. Chen's generosity and kindness shine through in her practice. She takes the time to ensure her patients feel comfortable during appointments and phone consultations. Her remarkable competence and skill have undoubtedly earned her a place among the top ENT specialists in the Bay Area. What sets Dr. Chen apart is her straightforward approach and her ability to provide accurate diagnoses and recommendations without sugarcoating the truth. This honesty was crucial in helping our family navigate difficult health situations, such as my wife's surgery and my mother's cancer biopsy. Dr. Chen's keen intuition and thoroughness in her initial assessments enabled us to seek treatment more quickly and efficiently than we could have ever imagined. In short, Dr. Sonia Chen is nothing short of a heaven-sent medical professional. Her exceptional skills, dedication, and compassion have made a significant impact on our family's well-being. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone in need of an exceptional ENT specialist.
