    How was your appointment with Dr. Chen?

    Sep 28, 2022
    My dad battled cancer for 16 years. Towards the end it had spread to his brain. My dad needed an emergency brain surgery that ended up extended his life for a few months. I am very thankful for Dr. Chen brining my dad back to us, and giving us the extra time. My dad was the most incredible man and deserved so much more out of this life. I want Dr. Chen to know I am thankful and that he did a good thing for a great person.
