I had the best doctor’s visit here, everyone from the receptionist, nurse and doctor were so helpful, polite and friendly. I waited about 15 minutes before being seen while I had my paperwork updated.
Dr. Chien and the nurse listened to what I had to say and offered helpful solutions. I felt very comfortable and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dermatologist.
