Dr Zhu is very clear on the diagnosis and prescriptions. He even demonstrated the proper way to apply moisturizer on dry skin which shows the care and thoroughness.

I had a wonderful experience with my visit today. First off, I arrived too early after noting the wrong time in my calendar, but they were very gracious when telling me I had the wrong time : ) I got to watch as 3-4 people arrived (at their correct time), and just fly right in at their appointment times -- this tells me that not only was I see on time (at my scheduled time), but everyone else did, too! Dr. Zhu was so friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to others! Will definitely return.

The doctor seemed to know what he is doing. Looked at my condition, announced what the issue is, announced what the solution is, and explained to me root cause. Will know in a month if the solution works.
