“The office is great. Everyone is really nice. They saw me on time and Dr spent good time with me and answered all my questions.
The only negative is the parking. The office does not validate. I was there for just under and hour and the parking fee was $20.
Other than that, great office. I would go back but try to find street parking next time. The staff did tell me that the coffee shop on 1st floor validates for 1 hour. Maybe next time I’ll buy a coffee to reduce cost of parking. ”

“Dr. Wang was just the best. Kind, polite, just generally good dude. Yes this man was it all. He made me laugh, and think, all while not dismissing my concerns. 10/10. I will tell anybody looking for a dermatologist that this is the place you need to go. Thank goodness you again, dr wang.”
