Dr Chen & all at this clinic are exemplary!
I'm a little confused about how to contact the clinic directly should I have had to do so. Therefore I made sure I got all the information I needed and took very good notes. Receiving the actual time of my cataract operation was a little nerve wracking and seemed a little last minute but by my second eye operation it was clear to me how things worked. I just like to know the process. It all worked out. Dr Chen and his crew know exactly what they're doing. I couldn't be happier with the surgery and post surgery treatment that I received from Dr. Chen and his colleagues.
