Review by Judy ***** October 28, 2025

5/5
On 5-19-2025 I had an awful fall, and I ripped my eye open. I went to Dr. Ying Chen after two other doctors tried to fix it and failed. Dr. Chen is an amazing doctor; it has been Five months since my fall, and you can't even tell it happen. Dr. Chen, her nurse and the whole staff there at her office treated me like I was family. My husband and I loved going there. I will recommend her to everyone.
