Seeing her is like being with your favorite cousin you just don't get to see enough of. She's the rare doctor I truly look forward to seeing, and feel better in every way after doing so.

I met Dr. Cabral five years ago when he was down in Fremont. I was impressed with his demeanor and…read moresense of humor he made you feel relaxed which is impossible for me since I have ADHD and GAD. I had a mole on my neck that needed to be watched closely in clinic twice a year. So the new Doctor was keeping an eye out I would go in a few times a year for my rosacea and have her watch it because it was growing back weird. Fast forward May 20th this year I go in because my Mom said what the heck is that hole in you're neck? It wasn't that big but looked bad. Went in she looked and told me don't worry about it we will take a photo and see you in six months. I said please just remove it it's ugly. She said OK but it will be fine nothing to worry about here. I get a call two weeks later she says do you have a few minutes. I knew then I was in trouble. She said it came back as an evolving Melanoma. She had to go on and remove 0.5 CM around it, but kept telling me UCSF isn't even calling it a Melanoma. That was it for them I was more than vigilante if I had taken a picture and waited six months who knows what could have happened. So, since I was scared and really needed Dr. Cabral I knew he was at Kaiser and something told me to do a search and I he came up at the California Institute in Santa Rosa. I called Mary she was so helpful and what a carrying person. She got me in very quick as I was freaking out and wanted a full body look over from Dr. Cabral and I would only allow him to treat me. I go in he comes out shakes my hand gives me a hug and told me not to worry the Melanoma is in Situ and explained what it meant and that I had a 99% curable rate with Mohs surgery. I tell you he didn't need to learn bedside manner in medical school, for him it just comes naturally. Today I had my Mohs surgery they knew I was nervous. I drove all the way from Antioch to see him for this surgery. I came up the day before and spent the night in a hotel because I didn't want to miss the early morning appointment. I only felt the burning of the numbing medication and that was for maybe 10 seconds and that was it. He took the first piece of skin and in thirty minutes I had to go back a second time. He didn't see this but I started to freak out thinking it had spread all over. After the second time he got it all, sewed me up and I was on my way by 9:30 after arriving at 7:00. I not only want to thank Dr. Cabral for saving my life but his whole staff is top notch 100%. Maria his nurse such a sweetheart tried to calm me down and reassure me and even the assistant when he closed the wound just wonderful people. If he had moved to New York I would have flown to have him take care of me. That is what I think of Dr. Cabral. His extensive medical training speaks for itself, and for compassion he was born with it. Thank you Dr. Cabral and the whole staff at California Skin Institute. You helped me when I needed you I will never forget you guys. Now three month checkups, a bit of a pain but it beats the alternative. Thanks Again William Silveria

My daughter is showing symptoms of what might be a life threatening disease. Dr. Truong wouldn't consider trying to help diagnose my kid because her lump was beneath the skin. The doctor laughed as I grew frustrated, got mouthy instead of apologetic, raised her voice at me, and spoke over me instead of trying to help by AT LEAST listening so she understood my goals. We waited for a month to be seen only to be treated worse than I have EVER been treated. DO NOT waste your time or money or risk your health by going to this place.
