About Dr. Calvin Sung, MD

When you go to a doctor’s website “about page”, you will usually find entire pages of prestigious schools, names of elite schools, and long list of scientific publications. Do these pages really tell you how the doctor will take care of you? 

Not really...

​What’s really important for you to is how you will be treated as my patient. My name is Calvin Sung MD and I am a dermatologist with a special passion for treating skin and hair problems.

To me, your skin is so much more than just skin. Your skin paints the story of your life. The patterns in your skin tells me a bit about who you are as a person, what you do for work, and your overall health.  

​My experience as a patient inspired me to establish True Dermatology to help you achieve the clear skin you deserve, from the very beginning. We are not here to sell any over-priced "anti-aging" products or push you into cosmetic procedures you clearly don't need. In fact, we don't sell any products at all! My only focus is to help you achieve healthier skin today.
