      Dr. Shinkai is excellent in all respects. She is one of the best dermatologists I have seen over the course of my long life with an extensive history of skin problems. I will recommend her to anyone who needs an experienced dermatologist.

      This is the third times that I see this provider. However, there are some improvements can be made. One of the concerned factor Is try not to be rush In the appointment with me. It is because I couldn't ask some more questions. Although I have given her the ratings on "Fair", I will still recommend her base on the comparison to the first appointment.
