“It was such a pleasant visit. The office was very clean & pretty. The assistant was very attentive and engaged. The NP Aishwarya was so great! She was very knowledgeable & very nurturing to my issue & she guided me throughout the whole exam to ensure i felt comfortable. Dr Chen provided me with solutions and answered all my questions. I wasn’t dismissed as i was with another specialist. This is why my visit at this practice was appreciative as my all concerns were addressed. Moral of my story is get a second opinion because you’ll probably be more satisfied with another specialist ”

Just amazing! I felt so comfortable speaking with Dr. Chen. She listened and didn’t dismiss my issues and came up with a plan.
Verified patient
Dr Chen was wonderfully thorough and kind throughout the appointment. With the rise of colon cancer in young people it can be incredibly scary when symptoms arise but she was understanding and supportive of my concerns. She took the time to explain what was the likely cause and offered solutions without dismissing my fears. I felt more at ease after my appointment and I’m grateful that I’ll be having a colonoscopy with Dr Chen to ensure that everything is fine.

Dr. Chen is excellent. She was very thorough, answered every question and gave me a bunch of information to take home and review. Definitely recommended.
Verified patient
The doctor is great, however the equipment was not working properly. Two of the heart monitor machines were broken during my visit. The assistant did not have my results from 3 months ago and had to retrieve them during my visit. I didn’t feel that the office cared enough for me and their patients. I could have been sick and the doctor’s office would not have known. Get some rest and please be awake to help your patients. Thank you!
Terrible doctor

The wait time was almost 40 minutes, but the doctor was very caring and knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable and in control of my medical decisions.
