Very happy with the dermatologist was a little confused about what test she was going to administering and what she actually diagnosed me with but other than that, she was thorough on getting everything checked out that I needed and changing the medication when not Covered

This was my first appointment with Doctor Zhu. She took the time to listen to me. I have several autoimmune conditions that can be complicated and she seemed to move through them all with knowledge and ease. I would highly recommend her to other patients.
