Verified patient
Dr Chen just came in 2 mins and did not spend much time. He also did not explain the problem. There was a junior doc who diagnosed me and then Dr Chen corrected him. I believe the situation could have been much better.
Verified patient
Excellent!
The office was unprofessional and outdated compared to what I've been to before. The practice was just one large room, with metal folding chairs, and curtains dividing patients. Dr. Chen was nice, but I will look elsewhere for services.
Very little explanation of my injury--felt like the dr spent more time teaching his residents. Then the dr made a mistake with my prescription--despite being informed numerous times to my medicinal allergy. When I called and tried to have it fixed they couldn't help. Two trips to the doctor and not much to show for it--very frustrating.
Verified patient
My appt was confirmed but they didn't have me in their system when I came in. Luckily they were very accommodating. Both doctors I saw were great
It is polite and professional

Very knowledgeable doctor. All MDs at the office were extremely friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. They listened, inquired, and cared! Added bonus: the physical therapy office is just a few doors down (super convenient).
Verified patient
He was very professional
dirty floors and cramped.
Forms completed online at ZocDoc were not available so I has to complete then again in the office. My office visit with Dr. Yasin and then Dr. Chen was a very positive experience. They took the necessary time to evaluate my condition and then extra time was taken to answer every question.
Dr. Chen is a very polite and pleasant and a professional person. I was very comfortable and open to discuss my problem with him. I was also happy with the outcome
Very good, short wait time. Staff is excellent.
