I scheduled a visit to discuss narrowband UVB phototherapy for a chronic rash. After I provided a detailed history and photos to the nurse, the provider came in unaware of the key facts I had just given and asked what I wanted to do. There was no clear treatment recommendation tied to my condition. Dupixent was discussed and the reason given focused on samples being available immediately, not on medical appropriateness. The provider then stepped out to ask another doctor if it was eczema and came back. Regarding phototherapy, I was told there is a 75 deposit before each session and if insurance doesn't pay, the deposit is kept. That was not provided in writing. Instead of the clinical team addressing medical necessity requirements and handling the insurer process, the provider had no input and deferred. read more

I had a referral from my doctor to see a dermatologist at True Dermatology on Tuesday afternoon. When I arrived, the check-in process was simple and quick. After a few minutes, a nurse called me in, took my information, and told me to wait for the dermatology practitioner. The practitioner, Jason, came in and I showed him the skin problem on my back. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed with the visit. He briefly looked at the rash, told me to come back next month for a skin biopsy, and said they would send the sample to a lab. The whole appointment lasted only a few minutes, and I left without a clear explanation of what caused the rash or what I could do in the meantime. Overall, the experience felt rushed and not very professional. I expected a more thorough examination and better communication about my condition and next steps. read more

Dr. Sung and his team makes you feel welcomed and heard. I have been battling with derm issues my whole life and thanks to them I feel comfortable in my own skin for the first time! Couldn't recommend them enough! read more

I've been seeing Dr Sung to take care of some skin issues recently and all I have to say is he's knowledgeable and is quite helpful. His staff is courageous and somewhat knowledgeable but ultimately you'll need to ask Dr Sung and he'll give you his professional response and guide you to a positive end result. I've been here roughly 10x and in each appointment he and his staff are professional and has explained each procedure to me and what it entails to improve my well being. The outside of the building may look old but entering into the office it's clean and it's modern. Though I'd have to say after each time I've gone in to do a procedure I've noticed some dead skin from other patrons that I wish they'd clean up after each procedure. The protective eyewear I feel hasn't been properly wiped with disinfectant which kinda bothers me at times but I just go with the flow and disinfect my face after I leave just in case. Ample parking in the back and they have their own dedicated pharmacy downstairs to pickup meds they prescribe. Come and give Dr. Calvin Sung a try for your skin care needs. read more

See all

Great experience at this dermatology clinic--friendly staff, clean office, and helpful care.

Been to dermatologists my whole life looking for good Chemical peels and also the occasion Botox (or as us bros call it "Brotox", I felt like this brotox lasted longer and was very happy. I think other derms might dilute theirs but felt that Dr Sung does the best job. Will definitely come back read more

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease. The office is clean, modern, and very inviting. Dr. Sung was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to thoroughly explain my treatment options. I felt heard and understood, which made all the difference. The care I received was top-notch, and my skin has never looked better! I highly recommend True Dermatology to anyone looking for expert care in a friendly and compassionate environment. read more

The staff here are super Friendly, the provider Katie Lin, her assistant and the staff are all nice

My friend who had botox here referred me and said Dr. Sung is a great Orthodontist. For me, I needed help for my life long acne, and Dr. Sung has given me great help with my skin. It's only been a few weeks and my skin is already clearing up. The office is clean and the price was very reasonable. I am very thankful i found this place to help my skin problems. read more

Went to go see Dr Sung last week for hairloss.I tried minoxidil from Costco didn't really work. Iv been shedding since I had my first kid. I called couple places and only this place offer injectable hairloss. I've never tried PR but they have hair injectable that doesnt require blood draw. Just received my first session, I can't wait to see new hair! read more

Really glad tried true hair therapy because it works. Previously I Had gone to multiple doctors who just tell me to use topical rogaine. Dr. Calvin takes his time to really figure out from my hair loss history while other so called hair loss experts just tried to sell me their supplements (which I regret falling for). Not here, which is refreshing. Really nice staff. read more

Dr. Sung is a very intelligent dermatologist and is incredibly knowledgeable about how to manage my skin conditions. I would recommend him to any family member of mine...and I have. read more

Would recommend if you are looking for a good dermatologist. The office and clean and staff are nice.

Their $8/u Botox special is the real deal! The location wasn't upscale like a med spa but rather an actual medical clinic (most patients there were there for medical reasons). Tbh I Was expecting an upsell or package or catch, but it was straight it's $8 no package or anything. It was the real deal. The injector was super gentle, they used a super tiny needle that was smaller than anything I have ever seen, although I am not exactly scared of needles but it was 0.5/10 in terms of pain but hands down 10/10 experience. Entire injection was only one minute long, quick and painless and no wait. read more

This is my new dermatology clinic. Dr. Sung takes the time to examine my conditions and provide the appropriate treatment. Very professional and knowledgeable. I had a different dermatologist a long time ago, but was unable to get an appointment until months later, I can also go to USC as well, but again, the appointment are long. I thought I give Dr. Sung a try. Made the right decision. I had a few spots which I was concerned it was skin cancer. He use nitro oxide and frozen it. It all fine now. I'm also being treated for eczema. Just had a piece of skins removed. Painless and easy. read more

Finally someone helped with my weird keloid growth. It was immediately surgically biopsied. This thing has been bothering me so badly. Audrey and Dr Calvin are both exceptionally amazing. There is a bit of a wait though....that's how many patients they have....which means the doctor us effective. Good at listening to you as well. read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr. Calvin Sung at True Dermatology for all of our skin care needs, and we couldn't be more impressed. He is incredibly knowledgeable and always offers thoughtful, effective recommendations. Additionally, he excels in injectable treatments like Botox and Kybella, and the results have been amazing! read more

Dr. Sung is a very intelligent physician and helpful with hair loss. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Sung performed excellent Botox for my wife & I. Referred all my family and close friends and they all have had an excellent experience so far. He has great bedside manners and has exceptional medical knowledge. His staff is very friendly as well. 10/10 highly recommend! read more

Dr. Sung and his staff are top notch! I've been seeing them for my dermatological and hair needs for the past couple of years, primarily on their Newport Beach office but have visited all their other locations on occasion. Regardless of where I am seen, everyone there is professional, knowledgeable, and friendly -- what more can one ask for? Highly recommend True Derm and Dr. Sung if you need medical or cosmetic dermatology!! read more

Ive been having problems with my hair and begin researching different clinics. I made an appointment with True Dermatology and scheduled for Saturday morning. The process was very straightforward, i signed up on a tablet for the initial registration confirming my personal information. After confirming my appointment, the assistant drew blood for my PRP treatment. It took around 10 minutes for the PRP machine to finish processing. After, Dr. Sung performed the PRP treatment. The process was very quick. After a couple months, the recommendation of medication and PRP treatment by Dr. Sung has increased my hair growth significantly. I would recommend Dr. Sung and his True Dermatology team for anyone experiencing hair related problems. read more

Honestly, I felt so well taken care from the moment I walked in. I was experiencing a persistent issue despite trying some over the counter treatments and after seeing another doctor that didn't lead anywhere. Dr. Sung and his staff were really efficient in getting me. He explained the causes of the problem and explained by the over the counter treatments wouldn't work and recommend me some options after discussing with me. I felt he took his time and after trying his recommendation, my skin is so much better. He really has been a lifesaver!!! Thank you Dr. SUNG!!!! read more

It is not so much as the main office but one particular doctor Calvin Sung dermatologist. He is the epitome of young, couldn't care less for his patient, in and out rush, egotistical doctor. Went for an appointment for a scab on my toe and I swear he came in, talked fast, recommended a treatment and tried to walk out all in less than2 minutes. I would rate him negative stars if I can. Calvin sung if you only became a doctor for the money and status well I hope karma gets you eventually read more

Thanks, Dr. Sung! I have recovered a significant portion of my hairline thanks to his help!

horrible place, the rooms are all hot. my experience in clinics and hospitals are usually cold places, I didn't even have a sweatshirt on and I wasn't cold. cause my whole nasal passages to flare up to where I started having attacks, so the procedure coldnt be finished. they wasted my days pay from work, I got shaved and cut open just to be sent home with a big whole in my head, no stitches ,on the way out they said keep it dry. hope I can post photos read more

Dr. Sung and his team are amazing!! They're always so welcoming and kind from the front office to the back. Dr. Sung was able to take my husband in for a concerning mole on his face that came back benign. My husband was very concerned about it but Dr. Sung put his mind at ease. Dr. Sung is very knowledgeable as well as his PAs Stephanie, Katie, and Jason. I would definitely come back for any dermatology concerns. They also offers cosmetic line Botox, fillers, injections for hair growth, chemical peels, etc. thank you Dr. Sung for all your help! read more

I love that Dr. Sung is such a knowledgeable dermatologist. He is always clear when communicating and extremely patient. I appreciate that his staff are also friendly and helpful. They help run this practice very well and the system that Dr. Sung has for this clinic is very efficient. read more

I had a bad milia breakout that wasn't going away and I went to Dr. Sung for treatment. He prescribed me a gentle retinol that helped make it disappear completely. I also talked to him about starting tretinoin but since it was my first time using a medical grade retinol and because of my concerns with purging, he advised me to start with a more gentle retinol and then eventually work my skin up to the tretinoin. I really appreciate how he took the time to address all my concerns and helped me find a good plan for my skin! Will be going to him again when I start my tretinoin! read more

I saw Dr. Sung for a cosmetic consultation and he attentively listened to all my concerns and recommended we try using fillers to fill in the small pits. Dr. Sung and his wonderful assistant Mary made my first time getting fillers as comfortable and painless as possible. It has only been a few days since the procedure but I can already see a huge improvement in the appearance of my scars. I can finally feel confident in my own skin! read more

The PA James & Alec were above and beyond expectations. They prescribed me "as much as needed refills" prescription for the rogaine foam/ hair growth shampoo so i don't have to keep coming back, which tells me they care deeply about each client's needs and aren't trying to just gain my money. I arrived 9:55 and was out by 10:20, very fast service. The downstairs pharmacy was clean, professional, and pleasant in demeanor. Very happy my health insurance led me here i felt like i was in very very great hands! James & Alec were empathic, understanding, professional, fast, and answered all my questions & concerns. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Sung consistently, and they continue to keep up their quality services. I would give more stars if I could. Dr. Sung and his staff are very professional and delightful. He is absolutely incredible at making patients feel comfortable and confident in the procedure. His professionalism and skills ensure the procedure will go as planned. I always have such a positive and easy experience here. read more

I was recommended here by my family doctor, overall i had a pleasant experience. They told me i was misdiagnosed for ringworm when i had scalp dermatitis. The receptionist who picked up the phone was very nice, and unlike other offices there were no forms to fill out as a new patient. The staff took me to the room and did the questionnaires on an IPAD, which i thought its very new. I was in and out in 10 minutes which is perfect because i don't want to be gone too long i am working from home after all. I never liked spending too long at the doctor office and this is great! read more

This clinic only uses Ipad take photos. During the 6 months of treatment, I went there twice, but the doctor never touched the my skin and prescribed me the wrong medicine twice, which made my condition worse. I was very disappointed and angry, wasted my time and money and was unprofessional read more

Avoid this place! Find somewhere else. Dr Calvin Sung is smug and rude, he will rush through your appointment and try to make you feel dumb for asking questions. He may come off nice at first but that's just a con. Im sure there are far better dermatologist elsewhere that will actually take the time to listen to your concerns and that will help improve you skin condition instead of play the guessing game with it. read more

Dr. Sungs practice is family run and he's always taken the time with myself and my Mom who I've recommended to. She was really happy with her cosmetic outcome and is now a regular of Dr. Sungs too. He's always been incredibly honest and patient with my questions. Always welcomes us in when we're chronically late too! I'm really glad to have found him and feel I'm in great hands - especially with melanoma being in my family. I will be a long term patient of his! read more

This place is useless. I spent $600 for nothing. My face wasn't improved at all. They're trynna make money here. Find a better dermatologist. read more

Dr. Sung was an absolute game changer for me. He was super attentive and listened to my concerns when I mentioned I noticed hair thinning - he very confidently and quickly had many amazing innovative solutions that a year later has had outstanding results. He did a new injectable form of minoxidil and put me on a maintenance dosed medication and I'm so happy with how everything's turned out. Many MDs are quick to RX DHT blockers, but Dr. Sung explained very well alternative options i was conformable with. I was also late to my appointment and his wife who runs the front desk was so kind and understanding and managed to get me in promptly. Best family run Derm I will forever go to! My friends and family have had an amazing experience as well. Thank you True Derm! Keep up the great work! read more
