Advanced Technology Used by Dr. Chen

Dr. Chen exclusively uses the state-of-the-art da Vinci® robotic-assisted surgical system to perform surgeries with exceptional precision and accuracy. He specializes in ultra-minimally invasive da Vinci general and bariatric surgery. 

Robotic surgery involves small incisions instead of a large abdominal one, rendering it less invasive than traditional bariatric surgery. Patients can reap many potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery, including reduced pain, less scarring, and a quicker return to normal activities.
