I could not have been happier with the excellent care I received during my visit at CityDerm. Dr.Ding and her assistant Alan were efficient, knowledgeable and professional, as well as most friendly and unhurried. And their offices are really beautiful; a lovely environment in which to be treated. I feel very fortunate to have seen them.

Experience from check-in at front desk to in-take w her assistant and, of course, consultation w Dr. Ding was excellent. She really took her time to listen to my concerns and shared her evaluation in plain, easy-to-understand language. Would def. recommend!

Dr. Ding is by far the best dermatologist I have been to. I have been to quite a few due to my ongoing acne issues. However none have been as informative and helpful as Dr. Ding.

Sharon A J. • February 28, 2023

Doctor DING is the BEST-&-BEST doctor since I was visit five to six Dermatology doctor in Chinatown, NY. Those 5-6 doctors published themself on the newspaper every day, saying how good they are, they just want to see the patient doing COSMETIC, they are not seeing someone has skin disease, for example: PSORIASIS, after the first visit, those doctors found me has psoriasis symptom, they told me you don't have to come here next time. But Doctor DING will not doing like these, she was very patient to see my symptoms on my body and said she will try some kind of other stronger medicines for me to treat my disease. Thus, I would say doctor DING is the first meet in my Psoriasis life, I raise five stars for her and introduce to my Primary Doctor's office, if any other needs to see the same disease, just refer to doctor DING, 100 PONT & FIVE STARs for her. I am an Asian, English is not my first language, what I can say DOCTOR DING is NUMBER ONE & GOOD DOCTOR.
