Is this sentence OK?

Dr. Chen is an excellent doctor in sports medicine and arthroscopy to whose progress in his profession I have borne witness with my own eyes over the years.

Hi. Is this sentence OK?

Thank you.

It is OK grammatically, but it is a bit intricate, your witnessing is not a trait of his, and "bear" is not called for. You testify when you bear witness, and you mean only that you witnessed it. I recommend breaking it into two sentences.
