I was referred to another dermatologist, who was booked for a few months, while I had an inflamed cyst on the back of my neck. It wasn’t my first cyst and in the past I’ve only dealt with urgent care, the ER once and my primary care physician. Dr. Yun’s staff was able to get me in the next day, despite also being booked for 3 months, but given the dire situation, having been in so much pain from my shoulder to the top of my head, and also fighting a flu, they got me in, as I guess there was a cancellation. This was in very early January. It was already drained the weekend before and as it was still infected and so inflamed, it couldn’t be dealt with any further with removal, so she gave me an injection to bring down the swelling, which started working the same day, and also some antibiotics. Everything takes time and must run its course and it drained daily and was so gross, but the discharge began to clear up and it healed in like 2 weeks, closing up well and all from the original incision at the ER. When I was there in January, her staff made an appointment for me 3 months down the road to see if it needed further treatment Her office seems to be booked solid for 3 month periods, as this is how much Dr. Yun is in demand, as the people need her and there are many with various skin problems out there. I was simply happy that she was able to take me in that original time in early January, while nobody else would when it came to dermatologists, and how many times can one go to urgent care and to the ER? This is Dr. Yun’s specialty - The skin and problems dealing with it, and by the way, I am one who is very fearful of needles and Dr. Yun, her office staff and her assistant are great. They really do care and dealing with this office was with the least pain ever, as I was in again this week to have the cyst assessed, and it healed fine, she said, but I had another one come back from another doctor’s removing it in 2017, and this was on my chest, and she gave me the option to have it removed, as it could come back in full force and they’re not fun to deal with when already so inflamed, and healing is more difficult when they’re as such. Not that I wanted to do it, but knowing how they can swell up and cause so much pain, even begin in one day out of the blue, I said let’s get this done and she has the most gentle hands with injecting, always makes sure there is enough meds to numb the area, as she made the incision, excised the cyst with her assistant, we joked a bit so I wouldn’t stress out so much, as I was already nervous and sweating due to my own fears, and she stitched me up, all in less than 10 minutes, and they helped me up and made sure I understood the post-op instructions of dealing with it. The first day is always the most difficult, but 3 days into this chest cyst removal, the incision has been fine and no problems, as I can shower and wash it gently. The other doctors never even told me to come back to remove stitches, but I was scheduled in 2 weeks to come back to remove them. Ask questions if you’re unclear. They answer them and aren’t annoyed by you asking. It’s your health and it’s important to educate yourself. She even called me back when I was so fearful about the discharge that seemed non-stop after the neck cyst injection, saying that it was normal and follow the instructions and have it run its course, and she gave me a refill in case it would have come back in that 3 month waiting period of the antibiotics. How many doctors call back these days? Trust this doctor and her staff, and understand that appointments are so backed up because people trust and need her immensely. Thank you so much, Dr. Yun and staff! I wish she could be my primary physician, too.
