Not only was she incredibly knowledgeable, she also had great rapport and made me feel totally at ease. She identified my issue right away and addressed all my concerns immediately and respectfully. I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief and am glad to know I have someone I can't trust to help me continue monitoring my skin health.

The office staff was efficient and personable.
Although the assisting nurse was not in for my visit, Dr. Lu performed the prep and samples for the biopsies as if she worked
alone all the time. Patient and kind are the
Words that come to mind.

very friendly office staff. This was my first visit and the staff and Dr. Lu made me feel very comfortable. I didn't feel rushed and they took the time to get to understand my concerns / questions.
I'm definitely going back to Dr. Lu to have a cosmetic procedure done.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Lu was amazing! I'm new to the area and I ended up getting lost on my way to the appointment. I was an hour late but she took me immediately. She answered all of my questions thoroughly. She's very friendly and incredibly efficient! I'll definitely be going back.

Very friendly staff. Dr. Lu was very easy to speak with and actually looked at my skin for more than 60 seconds which is more than what I can say for my last two dermatologists. I learned a lot about my skin and she was very thorough with me.

Very knowledgeable
January 26, 2016Marco B.Verified patient
Dr. Lu was so courteous, easy to get an appointment with, funny, and really helpful. I have been battling acne for approximately 7 years since high school and therefore I ask a lot of questions, and she was able to answer them all and I believe we will make great progress. I really look forward to going back. Hope she doesn't get too popular though, one of the best things was I was able to get an appointment so quickly when other derms take weeks.
November 13, 2015Jonathan F.Verified patient
What a great visit!
Dr. Lu is an ideal physician: She's an expert who listens to the patient and finds the best possible solution. She's also a Mohs surgeon so you can be confident she cuts well.
I didn't feel a thing!
