Surgeries
At Dr. Chen’s practice, the focus is on conservative treatment—that is, all therapies that do not require surgery. Nevertheless, expert consultation on surgical options is an integral part of the range of services offered. Not every recommendation for surgery is absolutely necessary, and there are often less invasive alternatives that should be explored first.
Dr. Chen takes the time to carefully analyze your test results and provide an independent assessment. If surgery is truly unavoidable, his many years of experience at university hospitals and his international network provide him with the necessary connections to refer you to experienced specialists and renowned clinics. This way, you can be sure that you’re always on the best possible path to recovery.
Our partner for joint surgery is Prof. Dr. Markus Schofer (Orthomedic Offenbach, www.orthomedic-of.de), and for spinal surgery, Prof. Dr. Michael Rauschmann (Sana Klinikum Offenbach).

Frequently Asked Questions
When is surgery really necessary?
Surgery is considered when conservative treatments have been unsuccessful over a reasonable period of time, there is a risk of neurological deficits such as paralysis, or there are acute health risks. Dr. Chen will help you make this decision in a rational and fact-based manner.
Can Dr. Chen perform the surgery himself?
No, no surgical procedures are performed at the private practice. Instead, Dr. Chen relies on his network of experienced colleagues and renowned clinics, to which he will refer you as needed.
What documents should I bring to the consultation?
Please bring all available medical reports, MRI or CT images, and doctors' letters with you. The more complete your records are, the more accurately Dr. Chen will be able to assess your situation.
What happens if surgery isn't necessary?
If, following a thorough analysis, conservative treatment appears promising, Dr. Chen will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. This often allows you to take advantage of minimally invasive treatment options that make surgery unnecessary.
