Background

Dr. Chen received his B.S. and M.D. from the Harbin Medical University in 1999. He completed his residency in neurological surgery at the 2nd Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University and Xuanwu Hospital in 2006, he focused on neuro-spine surgery since then, especially cervical spine surgery. He has accumulated much experience on complex cervical spine disorders, including CVJ malformation, cervical spine tumors, and cervical OPLL.
