Just use him! His precision and skills are masterful. I couldn't be happier with my results and lumbar fusion, 2-Rods, 4-Screws, and a spacer. My Recovery was much faster than expected and faster with less pain than my prior two micro-discectomies. Dr. Chen is 100% solid!

Nuerosurgeon Dr Chen is the only Spinal surgeon I will allow to operate on me. In less than a year Dr Chen has completed Cervical and Thoracic surgeries with full success
