Morgan N. Chen, MD

"For the first time since I was 16 I have zero lower back or sciatica pain! When I came to Dr.Chen in May, I could barely walk or sit up. After my consultation he was able to fit me into his schedule for the following week for surgery. Within days of my Laminectomy, I was walking with zero sciatica pain. Recovery has gone smoothly and I am so grateful. I can’t recommend him enough."

"My wife was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and other spinal conditions and constantly suffered with severe back and leg pain. Several orthopedic spinal surgeons said she needed a laminectomy plus fusion. We had gone to a pain management doctor, Dr. Timothy Groth, who highly recommended Dr. Chen, who employs conservative approaches. After reviewing her MRI, he said a laminectomy without fusion would suffice. The surgery was done in April of last year. It was a success! No pain several days later. Almost one year later, she is still pain free. Dr. Chen is very personable, highly knowledgeable and makes his patients feel at ease. He thoroughly explains the procedure and is very patient with any questions. He is an expert spinal surgeon and we would highly recommend him!"

"Dr. Chen is very concerned about getting my neck injury healed he gives you his attention and takes his time to talk to you which is wonderful. He is a very kind and caring doctor that I would refer to everyone."

"I hugged Dr. Chen at my husband’s follow up appointment after his back surgery. He had my husband walking and pain free right after surgery. My husband picked up a folding table and hurt his back, it got worse each day until I just had to take him to the hospital. (Big mistake, they just gave him drugs.) Took him to our GP who gave my husband steroids (which helped a little). After suffering through the weekend in severe pain and unable to walk or sit I found an amazing chiropractor Dr. Rulli (through a Facebook post), he quickly diagnosed my husband and got us in touch with Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen and his office got an MRI approved right away which proved that both Dr. Rulli and Dr. Chen were correct with their diagnosis. My husband needed a laminectomy of his spine. The pre op was scheduled the next day and my husband was in surgery for Dr. Chen’s next surgery day. I was so nervous moving so quickly but Dr. Chen assured me that the faster we move the better his recovery. Dr. Chen took the time to explain everything to us and even took the time to get to know us. The night before surgery Dr. Subbaiah called my husband letting us know that he will be assisting Dr. Chen and to see if we had any questions. The surgery day both doctors came to see my husband along with a neurologist, anesthesiologist and an amazing staff of nurses at St. Charles Hospital. After surgery my husband’s back and leg pain were gone, he was able to sit, stand and walk! He was a little sore after the anesthesia wore off but after two weeks he felt amazing! I also have to mention Dr. Chen’s, Dr. Subbaiah and Dr. Rulli’s staff and nurses. They answered all of my questions, got things scheduled and helped with paperwork. I am truly grateful for all of these amazing, caring and knowledgeable people. I posted about my husband’s recovery on Facebook and it’s amazing how many know and have been healed by Dr. Chen, Dr. Subbaiah and Dr. Rulli. Again, I am truly, truly grateful and highly recommend these doctors."

"My procedure was preformed on June 3rd and I’m so happy with the results. You just don’t realize the pain your in until someone takes you out of it. I’d really like to thank Dr. Chen for taking me as a patient, I came to him with an injury as well as some prior surgeries. Dr. Chen’s experience and knowledge as an orthopedic surgeon enabled him to look at my multi level herniations and focus on the area that was of most concern. After my 2 disc cervical fusion I’m feeling better and happier with life. For me, it was a minimal surgery that gave the best relief. I’d really like to thank Dr. Chen and his staff for the excellent experience and would recommend him to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon. It’s good to know you don’t always have to go to the city for great care. Thank you Dr. Chen."
