By employing a minimally invasive approach to treat numerous spinal conditions, Dr. Chen is able to get patients on the road to recovery sooner and with less complications.

Dr. Chen's single-level MIS TLIF (Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) has set the following benchmarks:

•Home day of surgery

•Off opiates in less than 7 days

•On Tylenol when staples are removed
