Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise skin cancer treatment that removes cancerous cells layer by layer while preserving healthy tissue. Our board-certified dermatologists use this technique for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other complex skin cancers. Patients benefit from high cure rates and minimal scarring through immediate microscopic analysis of excised tissue during the procedure.
Botox Injections
Botox injections temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles. We offer FDA-approved treatments for frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases using neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Our specialists customize injection plans to achieve natural-looking results that enhance facial aesthetics while maintaining expressive mobility.
Laser Treatments
Our advanced laser therapies address vascular lesions, pigmentation issues, and skin texture concerns. The GentleMax Pro and Vbeam Perfecta systems deliver targeted light energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone. Treatments effectively reduce redness, sun damage, and acne scars with minimal downtime using dynamic cooling technology.
Acne Extraction
Professional acne extraction services combine manual lesion removal with customized skincare regimens. Our dermatologists address comedones, cysts, and inflammatory breakouts through sterile techniques that minimize scarring. Treatments integrate topical therapies and photodynamic therapy to achieve long-term acne control and improved skin clarity.
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulates natural skin regeneration for scar reduction and texture improvement. Using the FDA-approved SkinPen device, we create micro-injuries that trigger collagen production while applying PRP to enhance cellular repair. This treatment effectively addresses acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.

I wish I could provide this office with less than one star. They messed up a billing issue for a year and have been totally unhelpful. They ignore me for weeks at a time and refuse to file paperwork correctly. This has resulted in a bill over $1000 that I shouldn't be responsible for. And the doctor would rush through every visit and overcharge for everything. Absolutely do not recommend!

If there is "0" point, I will offer it. It was a very bad experience as a new patient there. They will charge you extra $150 even you have a PPO plan with the only explanation as this is their own policy. They are more interested in your money than your medical condition. Find other places if you don't want to be looted.

This office staff is so unprofessional. First time I call to make an appointment, but no one there so I left the message. Next day , his staff called back (Chinese lady?)) told me that she can't verify my insurance now so she said she has to call me back again .... But she did never call me back as said. So 3 weeks later I started to call the office again and I mentioned that I've checked my insurance network and DR. Khuu's name came up so I call to make an appointment again. So after I left the message for an appointment, and they never returned my call.

Doctor spent less than 5 minutes examining me. Didn't show any concerns with listening to my skin rash problem and provided some general remedy, which didn't treat my problem. Then tried to upsell me for additional evaluation.

Waited over 45 minutes before ever being seen for my consultation - and then only by an assistant - let alone Dr Khuu. Ridiculous and beyond unprofessional. After an hour I left. They must not want any new patients. The receptionist didnt look all that surprised as I passed her and told why I was out the door - Im sure shes seen this before. Never saw the Dr. He never deigned to make an appearance nor even pop his head in to make apologies nor ask forgiveness. And, now they want respect?? Laughable. Avoid this practice unless you have time to waste and money to burn.

My mother had been going to this guy for a while. My dad too. My dad got sick of his fast manner and no attention and found a better doctor. Now my mom tells me she needs to have Mohs surgery!! She had a biopsy in November and results are positive for squamous cell carcinoma. They told her this today, January 22. When I asked why they waited so long, they told me she canceled her appt. for December. So what?? Why would they wait 2 months for tell her it's cancer?? And why on earth would you have to have to Mohs surgery on your neck?? Do not give this clown any business!!!! Look elsewhere!

Unsure if the procedures he recommended (Deep mole removal surgery) were necessary. Based on what I see here in reviews, I question it even more. I left and went to another doctor who was older and had his house paid off and kids thru college.
