      Dr. Yu once again performed basal cell cancer removal surgery on my skin, with perfect reconstruction results. Thank you again for Dr. Yu and her team's highly professional care!

      I very much liked my provider, though the explanations felt bare bones and this was a very quick visit. I didn't have many questions, and not sure how more information about my habits/the issue would have changed the prescribed course of action. But while I forgot to ask about maintenance while in the room, I did have a chance outside and was happy with those responses.
