When I first went to see Dr. Chang I was impressed...

When I first went to see Dr. Chang I was impressed at how quickly she removed my mole. She has a wonderful personality and seemed to be well informed. I decided to go to her regarding a rash on my legs that wouldn't go away. She thought it was from bed bugs, which I was recently infested by, and she prescribed a cream that is for rashes and takes also removes skin. This didn't help. I went to her again and she said the the cream was irritating the problem and that because I have varicose veins I needed to see a vein specialist. She only spent 5 minutes with me. I was not satisfied with her diagnoses.

I went to another dermatologist. Right away he said that I have atopic dermatitis. He asked me if I would like a biopsy to confirm what he thought it was; I received the biopsy. He prescribed an ointment for night time and a cream for day time. The biopsy confirmed that I have atopic dermatitis. The ointment and the cream he prescribed both work perfectly, without removing any skin. This doctor told me that my varicose veins have nothing to do with the eczema on my legs and stomach.

Dr. Chang is a very nice person, but she needs to spend a bit more time in making a diagnosis. If a patient is a repeat patient with a skin rash, like mine, she should have taken a biopsy.
