May 8, 2019Kayla J.Verified patient
Wow, I got there early and they were able to see me immediately. I got in and out in no time! It probably helped that I filled out most of my forms on Zocdoc, so I recommend doing that before you go in. The doc was very knowledgable and pretty cool guy. I also like that he sent me home with a care plan paper for me to refer to and also tips to help my skin get better.

It is always a pleasure to go to his office and I have other friends that go there too. Seems everyone I run into knows Dr. Kia. He is very personable and I feel comfortable each time I have to go. He is a wonderful doctor and always puts up with my whining when he wants to do something to my skin ha ha, BUT he knows best and I trust him.
