The staff was pleasant and efficient. Dr Chen's nurse particularly. And, most impressive was Dr Chen himself -highly engaging. He spent 2 whole hours explaining systematically. He detailed logistics with precisness in using visual drawings, on screen and by brain model the precise logistics of upcoming procedures. He answered any concerns without being condescending; further, he delivered the risks and insisted we would reduce same before and after aneurysm surgery. His kindness showed through. Very engaging. Which helped calm my concerns while instilling confidence. Consequently, I am in best of situation and pray our common Godly purposes be granted by healing. Very, very impressive encounter not only with Chen but also with [...][...] and his fellow Dr, [...]- who clearly is of the same quality healing goals - refreshing. In addition, I reiterate that Dr Chen's eye contact was welcomed - nice to be with a doctor whose eyes looked into ours rather than working on a some mandatory reporting screen. Thank you kindly for such an engaging connection. Yes Quite nice. [...][...][...][...].

As a new patient being a 1st visit sets the tone for trust in the Provider. Getting to know very important with my complicated problems. All staff was kind, and answered my questions. I've had good Dr's and really bad. These folks were 5 stars.
