Patient Testimonials

“Dr. Wayne Chen and team are great care providers and while I hate the fact that age has created more issues than I’d like I do like having trusted medical team like Dr. Chen as a care provider. He’s the best.”

“What I like most about Dr. Chen is that he is personable. He actively listens to my concerns and answers my questions with detailed answers. He is kind and I feel like a valued patient in his care. I would highly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone needing orthopedic treatment.”

“Dr. Chen listened to my concerns and discussed pros and cons of treatment options. He was professional and gave attention to my problem from my perspective. I didn’t feel rushed. He reviewed the information and care decisions to be sure everything was covered and understood.”

“I had a fall and was able to get an appointment very quickly. I’ve seen Dr. Chen before for an injury. He was caring, he was understanding, he was compassionate. He has a wonderful sense of humor, a great bedside manner, no bed included, but anyway, office manner. And he’s truly a very gifted man and he’s in the right business. So I would highly recommend him and the entire practice to anyone. They really know how to treat their patients with exemplary service, care, and professionalism.”

“Dr. Chen was very attentive and offered several options for my condition. Was impressed that he did not push for a surgical solution. We both decide to take a wait and see position.”
