Highly recommend. I had rash all over my body when I went to see Dr. Ma. I was helpless before I saw her, I dont know what caused that, Dr. Ma diagosed that right away when she saw the rash. Now my rash is 80% cured. She is caring and takes her time answering my question and explaining things to me. Thank you, Dr.Ma

Dr. Ma was interested in really treating the root cause of my condition instead of just prescribing me whatever and kicking me out the door.
Verified patient
She's truly fantastic! Dr. Ma was able to take me earlier than scheduled, which was fantastic! She also asked a lot of questions and listened carefully. It was very refreshing meeting such a knowledgeable and personable expert. Sh was able to think of the entire body and its relationship to our skin and how thing progress throughout our life. Truly a fantastic doctor and you can tell right away that she sincerely wanted to explain and share her knowledge and recommendations. If you are looking for an intelligent, sincere, knowledgeable doctor, she is the one for you!
Verified patient
Not welcoming at all from the moment I entered the office. When I finally spoke with the doctor about my skin condition which is eczema, she really didn't go into detail with me. She wrote up me a prescription told me what my co pay was and that was it.
Verified patient
Dr. Ma was able to accommodate me despite an issue with the appointment booking online through the ZocDoc system. She was very through in her examination. She took time to explain the cause of her diagnosis and the proposed treatment. I felt very comfortable and at ease following the appointment.
Verified patient
I thought she was great. Seemed a little disorganized at the top, maybe there wasn't a receptionist because it seemed like it was only Dr. Ma. She was also playing this ominous orchestral music in the office hahaha. But once we got into the exam room she was super nice, easy to talk to, and made me feel very comfortable. I've never been to a dermatologist before so this was my first appointment ever. Dr. Ma was great!
Verified patient
Dr. Alice was very personable and thorough during my appointment. She asked a lot of questions to understand my situation, and took the time to explain exactly what she saw wrong with my skin.
Verified patient
Excellent Doctor! Spends the time to talk things over with me and actually looks for ways to improve my condition without just tossing medicine at it. Highly informative and very friendly. I actually can't wait until my next visit!
Verified patient
Extremely friendly and asked a lot about me--I haven't had that kind of interaction with a physician in a long time. I didn't feel like she was just trying to get me out of the door so that she could move on to her next patient.
I am so very happy with my choice and decision to see Dr Ma. she was very attentive, informative and nice. Her office was so serene and peaceful. thank you Dr Ma.
Verified patient
Really nice doctor. Friendly and considerate.
Awful bedside manner. Wouldn't even listen to my description of complaints but instead would argue with me about how my symptoms didn't fit "the story" .She was fixated on one 'diagnosis' but wouldn't listen to how I didn't match up with what she described. Never to go back.
Excellent
She is very intelligent and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. She is also very cheerful which is helpful when you are a little scared.
Verified patient
Very professional and genuinely caring.
