Ratings

Loved my doctor, even if she is only here once every few months. Everyone is so helpful, kind and informative. The office is very well maintained.
Dr. Shao and the entire staff were so friendly, caring and helpful from the beginning of process of removing the skin cancer from my face just above the right side of my lip. They were all very careful about explaining every step of the process and what to expect after each step. They were very respectful of my fears and concerns and were very patient in helping me work through them.
Everything is different performed right there. The staff are attentive to your needs and make you comfortable and pain free. After care is explained and medical supplies are given to you to allow for your healing and recuperation
