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 ”
