Doctor Chen, all the nurses, and staff were all wonderful. Only annoying thing was I had to fill out all the forms I already did online.
Super friendly staff and excellent care
I’ve been looking for a female doctor for a while that makes me feel comfortable, cares, and listens and Dr.Chen was exactly who I’ve been looking for. Most of the staff were women and very friendly and I felt very content with my appointment. Highly recommend :)
Verified patient
The office was very spacious, inviting, calm, and clean. The front desk was very kind, and thoroughly walked me through the check-in. They also called after my appointment to let me know they had sent the referrals to my patient portal. The nurse that attended to me was super sweet and walked me through everything with her. The doctor was also very kind and patient with me, even though I could tell my list of medical history was exhaustive and took a lot more time than other patients. She also gave me a lot of referrals for what I needed, and was very informative. I would like to continue going here, and if my first visit is any indication on how it will be in the future, I'll definitely continue going here!
