Edward Chen's Online Review Report Card

I was treat by here after a pretty horrific car accident in 2020 per my lawyers recommendation. Dr Chen has pretty decent bedside manner for an orthopedic surgeon (IFYKYK). I was charged 80k out of pocket, my pain was not managed whatsoever (my request for sumatriptan for migraines due to neck pain from the car accident he was treating me for was denied), the office staff are not pleasant, after injections they tossed me into their waiting room for my ride home still completely out of it from anesthesia hardly awake with no wheelchair, during my micro discectomy surgery I woke up screaming in between him moving from my lumbar to cervical spine due to poor anesthesiology AND I am having another micro discectomy in a week to fix what he apparently didn’t handle. As a person in my 20’s I was automatically treated poorly. Go somewhere else

worst "doctor" ever!!!! very unprofessional and he didnt even want to wesr gloves. i had to say something. ive called for results and he answer saying "call back later, im busy" i never got answer or a call back. he yells at his staff in front of the patients and doesnt care at all for anyone. never again!!! dont come here!!!!

I was referred to Dr. Chen by a very well respected surgeon, as I had severe back pain and had three surgeries on my spine previously, and the last one almost took my life and I could not risk another surgery. At first, Dr. Chen treated me with steroid injections before considering a spinal stimulator. Unfortunately, the injections did not help. We then proceeded with a trial of the spinal stimulator, which took about 7 days. I went through the trial, and it was successful. However, Dr. Chen did not explain too much about the stimulator itself and that there are two types: one that is implanted in the lower back permanently without a belt, but the one he carries (Stimware) requires a belt be worn with an external battery that has to be charged. Dr. Chen just carries the one that has to be charged, wearing an external belt for the rest of one's life. I asked if there was an alternative that did not require a belt, and he said there was one, and I asked why he didn't explain that to me, and he said it was because he didn't carry it. I asked why he didn't explain this earlier so that I would have had a choice to stay with him or see another physician. Unfortunately, Dr. Chen's bedside manner is not the best, and his front staff manners leave a lot to be desired and they were rude, and as rude as Dr. Chen. For example he spoke with my daughter long distance and in the middle of the conversation he left the room. That's how impolite he was. I then decided to go back to my surgeon for another referral, and after I wrote to Dr. Chen and requested my records numerous times, he never responded in a timely manner. Additionally they violated my confidentiality in retaliation to my stating that I was going to go to a different doctor. Finally, his office has way too many patients and they can't care for all of their patients, and give them the individual care that they deserve.

this doctor prefers doing c section.he will not do a vbac "for your own good" even if you are a great candidate . even the nurses warned me that he only prefers c sections.please go else where or ask for a different doctor to deliever or stay as far away from this place if you want normal vagnial birth.doctors like him deserve to lose their license woman now have unnecessary c sections because people like him are lazy and want to go the fast route and do not give woman a chance.money hungry monster.

Dr.Chen is a very bad doctor! I was his patient for about one year! I had bad experiences with the doctor! Every time when I visited him, he only gave me some examination, and he didn't give any explanation. When I asked him some questions, he aways answered another things, and he sways gave wrong answers,then you will be very confuse. He is not a patient doctor , when you ask some questions,he aways is unhappy,and say he has not enough time to explain, although there is not any patient!If you want a good doctor, please don't choose him! He always thinks about himself, but not think about the patients! In my life, he is the worst doctor I have seen!

My fav doctor, known him since I was a little girl since my mom use to work with him!

Doctor ChenIn 3 months there changed 4-5 assistance because your bad temper you not only yell to them but also yell to patients .even we have done nothing wrongNow We leave Monterey park and you refuse to send out my wife's fileNew doctor can't see her without that.New doctor call you a lot And today I call you 4 times you still don't want to sendAre you a doctor or a gang member?I will TOTALLY report your behavior to the board and I want to say you are the most terrible doctor I've ever seen in my entire life

I love Dr Chen! I used to be in constant pain and after seeing him, it's all gone. He's helped me so much when other doctors could't help and I'm so grateful to him for that. I highly recommend him to anyone. He's smart and very knowledgable about pain medicine and his staff is friendly and helpful. A great doctor and a wonderful person.

Don't waste your time and money, this guy is very unprofessional and doesn't care about you at all. He does not look like a doctor, nor acts like one. could not understand what he was trying to say. They let you wait despite the appointment, he would ran out to do his errands then to take care of the patients. THE WORST GUY I EVEN SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!

Dr Chen is very knowledgeable and the best at epidurals but never smiles or converses much. He is all business.
