Dr. Kung is very insightful and professional. I visit her once a year and every time I return back for my annual acne follow-up appointment, right away she asks me how I been since the last time I seen her. She is very personable, attentive and she will answer all your questions. I highly recommend her.

Verified patient
I have been going to Dr. Kung for 4 years. She is thorough, and professional. When I had to have some suspicious moles removed, she took the time to explain everything to me. There is sometimes a wait in her office, but never anything crazy.
Verified patient
I feel bad giving her the 4 stars for wait time, just going by the guideline zocdoc has set. I had a wait time of 17 minutes, which isn't unreasonable. Things happen. Some people ask a lot of questions or are a little slow, and like traffic, sometimes there is a back up. Otherwise the assistant was nice, and Elaine was friendly and direct in answering my questions and going over my concerns. Afterwards they made sure I left with all the resources I need.
Wonderful.
Verified patient
Dr. Kung is very professional and knowledgeable. She is attentive and patient, even when I found it difficult to articulate my symptoms. Her staff is courteous and the office well-maintained. I highly recommend Dr. Kung.
Verified patient
Great Dr who takes her job seriously ,
The physician is very good, but the front office staff is harried. It would also be better if medical staff in general would make use of the data in Zocdoc instead of making us fill out paper forms.
Wonderful doctor and nurse.

Dr Kung is calm, competent, and thorough. Office in Chinatown is not exactly posh, but the treatment rooms are spacious and immaculate.
