Dr. Ng did a great work. She and her PA works hard to minimize any scaring to my face. She replied quickly to my concern about a posable infection to the incision. She got me in quickly to see my issue. She decided it wasn't an infection but possibly the sutures hadn't desolvied and causing irrigation to the incision. She offered to see me again in a couple of weeks to check on it again to be certain everything was healing fine.

During the course of my treatment, I felt Dr. Ng had my welfare and comfort as her first priority. She explained each step of the procedure making sure I understood what would be done and the outcome I could expect, all of which put me at ease and gave me confidence in her ability.
