        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.
