Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Mohs
Dr. Vu diagnosed Basal cell carcinoma on the delicate tissue under my eye. I was concerned about scaring and removal. Dr. Vu performed the Mohs procedure and was able to remove all cancer with clear margins and no scaring. I would highly recommend Dr. Vu.

Dr Ann Vu is an Extraordinary, educated, talented, honest & personable doctor! She carefully addresses the dermatological needs & schedules of our whole family, which includes our two young adults. Often she personally calls to discuss results and recommendations! Dr Vu is conservative with her procedures as well. A few years ago, to my surprise, she had her staff call me to try out a great recently launched product to reduce wrinkles around mouth. The staff nor rep pushed me to come back for another session. Dr Vu has even carefully taken my blood- a task not so easy for many phlebotomists due to my old rolling veins! The front office staff are very nice, responsive & timely in getting back to us. They typically bring us to the rooms rather quickly. Dr Vu has done a great job in training the staff, rarely seen yet greatly appreciated these days in medical world! I would give her a 10 out of 10 again as she is extraordinarily gifted & goes the extra mile- emailing referrals ??

I’ve been seeing Dr. Vu now for 20 years. She’s literally the best dermatologist! I now live on the East Coast and I make sure to make my appointments with her whenever I’m visiting family on the West Coast.

My granddaughter and I both go to Dr. Vu. She is professional, kind, honest and takes time with each patient. She doesn't oversell which is a rarity in Orange County dermatologists. I recommend her to all my friends as does my granddaughter. There have been some complaints about her front office but I have always found them friendly and helpful.

Just called to make an appointment. The women taking my call was rude and completely unhelpful. I have seen Dr. Vu in the past, but I will be seeing another doctor in the future.

Dr. Vu was so sweet, patient and gentle I will definitely be going back! And did I mention honest which isn't easy to come by with dermos... If they aren't trying to sell you a product of take off something or some new procedure you had no initial intention of seeking.

Dr. Vu was condescending and did not provide a diagnosis. She didn't seem to care about the patient. We will not return and do not recommend her.
