dr. chung was helpful with advice to prevent skin cancer, recommending proper uv garments i was unaware of and also how often sunblock must be reapplied and how to do that with sunblock stick. dr. chung is very careful, thorough and experienced. dr. chung recognized immediately the condition of my skin marks and what they are. dr. chung made me feel comfortable that i am in good hands. i'm very grateful for dr. chung's wisdom and guidance on skin cancer prevention.
