Having had a wonderful experience with Westlake’s Dr. Craven and his plastic surgery team, I asked for an appointment with one of Westlake’s dermatologists, Dr. Chern. At first I was told that it would be 3 weeks before she could see me, but when I told her assistant that the growth was on a former removal site, Dr. Chern told her that she could see me the next day!
