Very professional and knowledgeable doctor. Went for a second opinion because it looked like he had a great background, and it definitely shows through his knowledge. My initial ophthalmologist at Mt Sinai didn't know anything I was talking to him about and brushed off all my comments and concerns. Dr. Chien knew everything I mentioned to him as if it was in the back of his hand, he gave me very good tips and was very professional and approachable. This will be my ophthalmologist going forward.
