This is my second total hip joint replacement with Dr Chen. He is a careful, caring, and most of all, highly skilled surgeon. I would not choose anyone else for this major surgery.

Great Staff, Service, & Follow Up!
A timeless review for Dr Chen, a most wonderful Dr. and human being. Gratitude and deep appreciation for Dr Chen’s compassion, empathy, and care throughout my process. After previous recent surgeries, my body , mind, and spirit were in a different place, unrecognizable to myself. The hip surgery was a success. My core strength strength would take time but healing was my focus.There was an openness around Dr Chen’s ways of being and insightfulness on his visits with me. Words shared of “Tough Love” was the moment that the tornado inside me was lifted. It was instantaneous that I knew I would be better and stronger. Thank you Dr Chen for your Grace, Commitment, and for being “Authentically” you! I highly recommend Dr Chen to be the Doctor of choice to have a smooth transition back to greatness.

Dr Chen was recommended to me and once I visited him in his office to receive an evaluation, I knew I was with the right doctor. From the first meeting Dr. Chen was on time, professional and informative. The surgery was very successful and my recovery was amazing being able to play golf 3 weeks following surgery with zero pain. He and his team have stayed in touch to insure I am doing well. I highly recommend that if you need a hip operation you check with Dr.Chen

Dr. Darwin Chen gave me back my life! I had an unsuccessful knee replacement in August 2020 by another doctor. Dr. Chen performed a total revision July 2021. There were several things wrong in my first surgery and Dr. Chen removed the replacement and started again. I am living life again! Dr. Chen treats all his patients like family. He returns phone calls quickly and spends countless time with his patients answering all questions and allaying their fears. Patricia in his office is extremely helpful and is always available to go out of her way to meet each patient’s needs. Dr. Chen’s staff is so knowledgeable and work tirelessly to ensure the success of the surgery. I am truly on the road to an active life once again due to the expertise, caring and compassion that sets Dr. Chen apart from so many doctors today. Dr. Chen allows you to voice your concerns, and his ability to listen carefully inspires total confidence. He is truly a hero to me!

All of my visits with Dr. Chen have been 100% satisfying on many levels. First of all, Dr. Chen possesses a unique ability to communicate complex situations in language that a patient understands. In addition, he is very patient in both listening to his patients & responding to their questions & concerns. Finally, Dr. Chen takes a personal interest in his patient’s recovery with follow up phone calls. He is truly unique in this respect. He has outstanding surgical skills & has received glowing praise from every one of his patients that I have encountered. In conclusion, I highly recommend Dr. Chen as one of the best orthopedic surgeons for hip & knee replacement.

Dr. Chen performed a total replacement of my left hip in March 2021. Throughout our interactions before, during and after the procedure, he was kind, attentive, empathetic and thorough. I am very pleased, not only with the results, but by the process. I will shortly have my other hip replaced also, of course by Dr. Chen.

Dr. Chen is one of most kind-hearted, knowledgeable doctors you will ever meet. Every time I bring my parents to his office, he actually takes his time with them and answers all their questions. My sister even calls on Face Time during the visits and Dr. Chen answers all of her questions too and don't get annoyed or snarky. Dr. Chen also tells you like it is, not just what you want to hear. He's done knee replacement surgery on both of my dad's knees and will hopefully do my mother's knee in the very near future. In addition, the staff in his office are also very nice and professional too. Whether if it's completing FMLA paperwork or providing notes for work, his Office Manager, Patricia, always returns the forms in a timely manner.

Dr. Darwin Chen was put on this earth to be a doctor, a healer. You will not find a more highly skilled surgeon, particularly one who is also comprehensively (as well as minutely) dedicated to his patients' well-being. He is approachable, reachable (he returns your calls personally and surprisingly quickly), supremely conscientious, and as thorough as you shall rarely encounter. Takes your concerns seriously because he strives for a perfect outcome as much as does the patient. You can be entirely confident that you are in the best hands possible with him and his team (shout out to Patricia and PA Maureen), and be able to rest easy in that respect. I was in nightmarish pain with this hip before Dr Chen took me on, as though a small knife was stuck in the hip. He expertly removed the causes of the pain-- and it is gone. Was out of bed and walking within hours of surgery, walking w/o pain within days. Amazing. As though my hip were 30 years old again. And I'm not one who tends to gush.

Dr. Darwin Chen is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Chen did my anterior hip replacement surgery in June 2019. I was so fortunate to have such an accomplished surgeon do my surgery. I was only in the hospital overnight and able to go to out-patient physical therapy in two weeks. Dr. Chen, his assistant, and his staff were always available in case I had any questions. Your questions are never trivial and will always be answered. Also the Mt. Sinai nursing staff followed up for about three months after surgery. Before the surgery, I was walking short distances with a cane and couldn’t sleep because of the pain. Three months after the surgery I was walking around Disney World (without a cane) and sleeping very comfortably. I would wholly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone considering hip replacement surgery. He explains the whole procedure and your condition in easy to understand layman terms. He goes over your x-rays and answers all of your questions. He doesn’t pressure you into surg

I don't know why I waited so long to get a hip replacement. My experience with Dr. Chen and his staff was amazing. He explained everything in detail, his staff was caring and responsive. I felt very calm and everything went like clockwork. I was up and about in hours and in few short weeks I was out walking my dog, feeling like a new person! Honestly, it was surprisingly easy and should the other hip go, I will be calling Dr. Chen again. I give him 5 stars and highly recommend him.

Dr Chen performed a full knee replacement on me in December 2020 and the results were outstanding. More importantly, he answered all my questions before and after surgery, his office staff in Manhattan were always responsive, and he responded to my own questions through the messaging system. Highly recommended!

The best thing I did was choose Dr Chen and his team to perform a hip replacement on me. His team is passionate and caring. Dr Chen explained everything about the procedure and the after care down to the T. He made me feel comfortable knowing that he would perform such a serious surgery. I would choose Dr Chen and his team over and over again if I had to ! I have zero regrets!!

I had 6-month acute hip pain during the pandemic. As soon as I could see a doctor, I had an appointment with Dr. Chen and it was determined I needed hip replacement surgery. He was kind, knowledgeable, interested in my activities before and how they had changed drastically over a short time. He was always positive and I am now pain free and walking, bicycling and have even been able to kayak. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Chen and the Mt SInai Health system. I felt safe and was well cared for by the staff at the hospital!
