About Heather Chen, MD

I became an ophthalmologist because of my clinical interest in cataract consultation and surgery, the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, and other ophthalmologic disorders. I perform cataract surgery, including premium lens implantation and combined minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. I also perform various in-clinic laser procedures. I believe that open communication and discussion of patient goals are key to providing the best care. I was awarded the Lamont Ericson Award for outstanding patient care by a resident at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. In my spare time, I enjoy taking Zumba classes, yoga, hiking and spending time with my family.
