I have had sciatic pain for 5 years, went threw numerous of doctor’s. I have been told for years and multiple physicians. That I needed to lose weight. I have gotten tons of shots, went threw multiple physical therapy sessions. Dr. Chen is the first doctor to figure out where the pain was coming from. For the first time in 5 years I have been pain free with no medication. 10/10 recommend him. He is absolutely phenomenal!

Spinal fusion that changed my life!!! Took time to explain and follow up has been amazing!!! A exceptionally gifted doctor with amazing bed side manners as well. Went from having no life to looking forward to each and every moment. Cannot thank him enough!!!

He took his time to explain my problem and review options. While surgery was recommended he seemed extremely confident for such a complex surgery. He put me at ease. I was walking and doing steps with no assistance two hours after surgery and walked out same day. Was driving in few days. Only missed 3 days of work. Lifting 20-50 lbs by week 4. 100% recovery with no pain in 8 weeks lifting 50 lbs. all at home physical therapy. Easy Peasy.

My experience with Dr Chen, MD, FRCSC and his team was very positive, he was very informative and presented me with everything I needed to make an informed decision. He is a Great Surgeon, changed my quality of life, so thankful for Dr Chen, his team and Geisinger, I highly recommend him to my family and friends.

I had a fall at my home build site… which resulted in an ambulance ride to GWV. Scans showed several cervical fractures. Dr Chen and his staff took great care in explaining the situation and listing options…. Dr Chen operated the next day and I was home several days later. Procedure was a success and I am a very satisfied patient. Hats off to The Dr. and his staff

I went to Dr Chen for back surgery. I had a lot of pain because my back was really messed up. My choice was ablation of the nerves or surgery. Your nerves grow back. It is almost 3 months ago & Im doing great! As long as you listen to what the doctor & Nicholas tell you to do and do it! Dr Chen explains things for you to understand. If you don’t know what he is saying tell him and he will explain it for you to understand. Ask questions! Dr Chen is a wonderful doctor.

Dr Dan Chen was an absolute life changer. At 31 going on a second back surgery in two years I was pretty nervous. Pain and limited range of motion for 5+ years. Dr Chen was confident and caring with his plan, and I am today 1 year post discectomy surgery on my lower back and doing very well. He is 2nd to none and really cares about his patients!

After two years of chronic pain and being passed around from doctor to doctor, I finally saw Dr. Chen. He listened to me, believed me, and performed the procedure that would put my life back on a healthier path. I went from being in pain every second of the day and not being able to do the simplest of tasks, to being able to hike again. I got a surgery date quickly, the procedure went well, and recovery was as expected. Highly recommend.

My quality of life has drastically improved since getting my spinal surgery. I went from having severe lower back pain that radiated throughout both of my legs, to being able to live my life again. I couldn’t sit, stand, or sleep comfortably before, and now I’m able to do all of the basics again with minimal issue.

I am forever grateful and blessed to have Dr Tan Chen, MD,FRCSC,FACS as my ortho surgeon. He worked tirelessly on my unusual situation with my neck. I don’t believe any other physician could have performed the miracle that he did. Dr Chen truly has a unique gift and I am fortunate to be on the receiving end of his expertise and dedication, Every time I move my neck, I remember the great physician that made it all possible.
