I went in to have Dr Chen remove a small lipoma, two doctors said the lipoma could not be causing all the problems that I was having. My voice was hoarse, I got tired easily, couldn't catch my breath and couldn't eat without coughing. One Dr that I saw during a wellness visit told me I needed to get this tumor out, it was near the juggler vein and would cause me problems. So day of surgery I went in thinking I would be done in 15 minutes, but Dr Chen was met with a huge surprise,. As he was taking out the tumor, there was a 2 foot long tail attached to it under neath. The tumor went in my larynx, the Brachial plexis ( discs c-5:in my spine, and it continued into the cluster of nerves that run down your neck, shoulder and arm, then, this tumor went lower into my thoracic section where this tumor that was three fingers wide,,,was entwined in my larger arteries, the aorta, the heart, the lungs and the bronchial and was going into my digestive , Dr Chen r moved all of this huge tumor , he had to avoid my juggler vein, all the bigger arteries of the heart, and this tumor even had blood vessels, , Dr Chen is very Skilled and after the 2 he surgery, he explained that hat he did, and I felt great right afterwards, plus now I have my voicemail back, I can breathe now, not tired any more, and I didn't have any pain, or I infections. The crazy thing about this thoracic lipoma, is that it didn't show up on my cat scans or MRI. I'm thankful that Dr Chen acted quickly and made wise d visions to save my life. I highly recommend him and am thankful for his steady hands, and he cutcall that tumor out and took it out of a half in incision so I don't have lots of cuts and won't have scars that show up, there is only one and it's barely noticeable

Don’t normally give reviews, but from start to finish Dr. Chen and his therapy staff were just amazing. I am back doing my hobbies four weeks earlier than I thought. Thank you again.

Great care and compassion following a traumatic accident. Couldn’t ask for a better medical staff or better people.

Dr. Chen and Steph are the best doctors ever. I thought I was going to be disfigured for life but I’m as good as new right now! Thank you, Dr. Chen. I would highly recommend him and his staff. Very nice people to do business with!

Office staff is some of the best I've experienced! They deserve as much praise as Dr. Chen's expertise. His knowledge and experience were apparent. He dissolved any uncertainty if I could be helped with finger after the first visit. Surgery was scheduled quickly. I would fully recommend him and his staff for anyone requiring hand surgery. I mainly interacted with the PA and medical staff for treatment. They have a gentle touch and calming presence even when I was in pain. Best team one could ask for!
