Sanhwan Chen

I personally liked Dr Chen. However , I think she failed to adequately monitor some unusual pigmentation in my lower chin area. In her defense , it was unusual and she took photos and measured it. I should have had it monitored and a recheck scheduled before yearly skin check. During that 12 month interim , Covid occurred and she retired. That plus the problems with corporate medicine meant that I was not seen again for 18 months (in spite of 3 calls for appointments). After 18 months , it had developed into a melanoma which required large skin graft from upper arm and plastic surgery. IT IS VITAL TO MONITOR UNUSUAL PIGMENTATION. 18 months is far too long a wait. Five stars to Dr. Zarry Tavakkol and plastic surgeon , Dr David Kawamura , who treated me expediently and competently. Shame on dermatoligists who fail to follow through with patients who exhibit unusual skin pigmentations. I have always chosen derma pathologists. Shame on me for not being more proactive. .

She listens to your concerns and explains things clearly. I always make it a point to book my appointment with her. I've been going to her for a least 15 years. She is excellent in my opinion.
