"I chose dermatology because it's one of the few fields you get to treat all ages with so much variety. Whether it's acne, rashes, lupus, or surgery, I get the greatest joy out of telling patients that they're cured. Even when it's cosmetic, I get passionate helping people feel confident and satisfied with their results. As a Christian, it's a privilege and honor to serve Jesus by helping heal others just like He did." - Dr. John Chung
