Reviews
Dr. Chen was very soft spoken and professional. The staff and everyone at the facility had great customer service. They made me feel at ease for the upcoming procedure.
I realized a colonoscopy with Chen MD and it was very professional . Thank you
Staff and professionalism by far outstanding. I was treated twice, my wife once and this place was like visiting large Houston hospitals ( Herman memorial, MD Anderson, TX children, etc ....... Well done
Thank you Dr. Chen! Your visit to my husband's recovery room was just right. You took enough time to make us feel you were there for as long as we needed to understand the findings in your report. We liked your professionality & your personality. May you continue to bless others in your career service to mankind!
Very personable, great bedside manner. Dr Chen was very informative and able to answer all questions that I had. Highly recommend.
