Dr. Morgan Chen

I had a fusion at L4-L5, and L5 Lamenectomy done by Dr. Chen February 11, 2019. I went to 2 other Drs before seeing Dr. Chen. Once I met Dr Chen I knew immediately he was the surgeon I wanted to do my surgery. The bedside manner, the way he explained exactly what was wrong by looking at MRI and physically showing me on a plastic spine in his office on how he was going to fix me. The man is a genius. It's been 2.5 weeks post op. And I'm doing great. I highly recommend him.

Amazing outcome!

I was immediately out of pain after my surgery! I hardly had to take any of the pain killers when i got out of the hospital, in fact, I only took one! After that I only had to take Aleve. I thought that was amazing given the seriousness of the surgery (spinal fusion). I was able to walk around the block the next day without pain! I'm back to horseback riding, yoga, weight training 3 months after surgery!! So happy with Dr. Chen!

terrific doctor

at 81 yrs of age, i felt that my constant back pain was something I would have to learn to live with. Seeing Dr. Chen and reviewing my MRI which showed severe spinal stenosis, the surgical procedure was explained thoroughly by Dr. Chen and I agreed. Now 8 months post op, I am pain free. Dr. Chen was amazing from fist visit to last. I recommend him highly to anyone in need of pain relief

Dr. Chen was the best great surgeon and great outcome-no pain at all in my back or sciatic regions.

I have had back problems for over 38 years-severe pain and rt and lt sciatica. Had physical therapy many times, many meds and epidurals, and bed rest. I had lost much time from work-as I aged the pain got worse and affected my life terribly i terms of any activity. I became sedintary before my time. Therefore, I became depressed and coping was hard. I was referred to Dr. Chen by my PT in 2017. He is a God send I had spinal surgery and I have no more pain which has made me a happier person
