Thanks for spending so much time with me
I felt the visit was rushed and the doctor wasn’t asking if i had any questions.
very professional and knowledgeable
Wonderful manner and clear communications as usual.
Dr Kwon is extremely kind, sincere and expert
She was extremely thorough.
The doctor was very helpful and was very detailed. I enjoyed my conversation with her. I also felt she was genuine concerned about my issues. I cannot wait to visit with her.
She was very kind and listened to my concerns.
She is really very kind and explains things very well, giving your reasons and choices. This was an excellent video visit, even covering what type of clothing to wear out in the sun while I am healing. Very thorough and not only does Dr Kwon listen, but she really hears you!
She was friendly and caring I believe.
I really like Dr. Kwon but my primary care physician is the main reason I don’t go with “very goodâ€
she was a pleasure to work with, was very clear, and very responsive.
She is great! I have had dermatologists not take my mild-moderate acne seriously and she definitely does. She is very kind, listens to me, and willing to try different things.
Dr. Kwon, Kathy and Lizzie (?) were all especially efficient and courteous/helpful. Great all around!
I like Dr Kwon very much although this was the first time we had any communication. She was very pleasant, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, very thorough with her assessment and plan of care. She explained in details what to expect before, during and after the testing. She also reminded me to check to make sure my insurance covers the testing to prevent any financial issues which is much appreciated.

EXCELLENT Doctor & Care giver! Have not had a doctor this concerned & caring about my health & welfare since working with Dr. Halstead Holman (retired) in the Rheumatology Department back in the late 1990’s! She cares about her patients & genuinely discusses the problem & solutions. Her follow up is impeccable! All Stanford doctors need to take a lesson in bedside manner, thoroughness & patient leadership from Dr. Kwon.
