I had a left inguinal hernia for about 5 years. It wasn’t a day without wearing hernia belt almost for 24/7. I was extremely nervous to even think about surgery but there is nothing else you can do to help yourself but through thiShow mores surgery. I was Blessed to meet Dr. Chen as my surgeon 3 months ago for consultation .He was very friendly , also very calm and very good listener though and not much of a talker however I could sense right away his confidence just in his presence. I don’t know how to explain it but I just felt I’m in good hands. On December 3 rd I finally had my surgery . All the stuff were so nice to me. Nurse Melinda you were very nice and I appreciate you. Then the whole team Zack, Admire ( Best Anesthesiologist Ever) and of course the Legend Dr. Chen. Took them an hour to do robotic laparoscopic surgery on me. I was in and out so quick and I couldn’t believe that it took me so many years of fear and bad quality of life to go through just one hour of painless surgery lol. Well guess what? I walked same day around my room, next day like a Champ and 3 day like I didn’t even have a surgery. Only took ibuprofen and nothing else. No swelling, no bruising no pain you can’t handle. Pain was like at level 5 first day , and next couple days like 3 out of 10. I slept like an Angel from day one. IM FOREVER GRATEFUL TO YOU DR.CHEN… You really changed my Life. I feel like a normal person again. No words can explain how Blessed I am that you were the one to do it, cause I had the Best outcome I could ever imagine. You are the Best and God Bless you
I only had a 5 minute wait to see Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen answered all the quuestions that I, my wife, and my daughter asked. He scheduled me for my chemo port for the same week I saw him. He was very understanding of my situation anShow mored gave me a sense of knowing everything was going to be alright. I would recommend him to anyone going through this process. Thanky you, G, Stephano

Dr. Chen is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything in detail on what to expect going in to surgery. The staff at west coast are all amazing, made me feel comfortable and calm during my procedure. I would definitely recommend!
Dr Chen was professional, knowledgeable and addressed all of my concerns.
Was not overly happy with my visit and information provided by Physician, thought he could have provided more information and resources for the pain I was experiencing. Additionaly he had another person in the room never introduced that person not sure if it was another Doctor, intern or PA. This was in addition to the medical assistant who introduced herself to me.
The staff are friendly and helpful. The doctor took time to talk to us to better find out the reason for the visit. He also was very thorough in explaining the next steps.
I needed to have my port removed. I figured I would need to schedule another appt and possibly have it surgically removed. To my surprise Dr Chen and his associates were able to remove the port at that same appt. I was awake and had no pain whatsoever! I’m very impressed with Dr Chen and everyone in his office.
Dr. Chen is very thorough, knowledgeable, and professional.
Very comfortable and informative
Excellent!
Dr. Chen was on time for my appointment, made a diagnosis, answered all my questions and told me that if I had any more concerns to call and make an appointment. I felt very comfortable with him.
Dr. Chen is kind and caring. Explains everything. Thank You
Quick and easy stitch removal.
