I've had a number of diagnoses over the years for my hip and back pain. I saw orthopaedists and physiatrists who gave various diagnoses and did not provide any real help. It was Dr. Chen who figured it out. He diagnosed a psoas prShow moreoblem, gave me exercises, and before I even made it to my first physical therapy appointment, I was MUCH better. I now can hike and climb PAIN-FREE and fully enjoy retirement. Dr. Chen has a wonderful kind manner and great support and nursing staff - I cannot recommend him more highly. He has the highest level of skill, a vast fund of knowledge, and is a brilliant problem solver. Full marks!
I came back to Cascade Orthopedic after 10 years of going to treatment closer to my home for orthopedic issues. A little more distance to Cascade was well worth the drive. Dr. Chen who I had 10 years ago has set up a complete rouShow morend of treatment for my back issues. The appointments were explained, set up and went flawlessly. After procedures were set up I went down the hall to set up future P.T. with ease in setting up time and days for therapy. The clinic seems to be more organized in the reception area and more friendly than I remember.

Dr. Chen was great. He did what even my primary doctor wouldn't do, find the cause of my issue. Dr. Chen was very kind and although I'm glad I don't have to go back, if I ever have any issues again, he will be the 1st doctor I call. Thank you Dr. Chen for being so through.
Dr. Chen has the patient to listen on what the reason you are seeing him. and indeed i almost get cured with my back problems. thank you Dr. Chen

Dr Chen is the best! Kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. Helps with all kinds of pain.
Great doctor. He is caring about your needs.
Front office is pleasant and helpful as usual. X-ray tech and nurse very helpful. I liked and enjoyed meeting Dr. Kearney for the first time. He listened and came up with a solution to try for my symptom. Scheduled a follow up appointment to see how I am doing.
Dr. Chen is thorough and caring. He always provides new insights and value for my visits.
Doctor Chen is AMAZING! He truly Listens about me as his Patient!!
I found my visit to be both pleasant and productive and look forward to the newly proposed course of treatment with enthusiasm. I received notification from my P. C. G. that he approves of the deletion of the aspirin in my current regimen.
He took his time and I didn’t feel rushed. He explained everything to me so I knew what was going on and my options. I was very pleased and would highly recommend him to my friends, family and co-workers.

Very helpful doctor chin is the ultimate professional
Dr. Chen is a pro at paim management!
Unfortunately Dr Chen was behind schedule and seemed rushed which is not usual for him.
Dr Chen Is extremely caring about "you " the patient. He works to get you feeling better with various options of treatments. I trust his judgment and know I am getting the highest level of care. He is the best Dr, explaining, keeping up to date on new methods and a really nice guy.
Great experience! Caring and knowledgeable staff.
Experienced, caring
I love Dr Chen. I go on a semi-regular schedule, for trigger point injections. I have had chronic migraines for 15+ years. Finally stumbled on trigger point injections as a treatment. It is the first thing, (beyond meds that make me queasy), that has worked at all to treat my migraines. Dr. Chen is awesome. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, always listens to concerns, and has shared many resources with me for treatment methods & tools, migraine research, stress management research, etc.
He was very good at taking his time explaining what he wants me to follow up with. Set up a plan for me to follow. He is soft spoken and took his time with me. Made me feel very trusting and reassured with what he was telling me.
Dr Chen is amazing. He listens and helps try and problem solve to figure out the least invasive treatment necessary to fix the problem.
