Vincent C. Hung, MD

I have had two procedures with Dr. Hung and each time he has provided me the the highest quality of care and aftercare. I have recommended him to several friends and each one has been totally impressed with his treatment and outcomes. I would be remiss in not mentioning that his staff is second to none!

Dr. Hung has removed 5 basal cell cancers on various parts of my body over the years. My most recent surgeries were on my left ear. One required a skin graft, which he did under general anesthesia (my request). It has been 5 months and my ear looks great. It is healing well and people tell me they can’t tell anything was done. Dr. Hung is not only a skilled surgeon, he was good about informing me what needed to be done, how he would proceed, healing time, etc. His staff is wonderful and very caring. My wound care was difficult because I could not see my wounds well, so the nurses had me come in everyday so they could change and dress my wounds. I appreciated that very much. I would highly recommend Dr. Hung and his staff!

Dr. Hung has done a lot of little «make it better» plastic surgeries for me over the years: chronic oozing incision, tears in my calf from pruning roses in shorts, cyst removal, but my facelift was truly a work of art! I am astonished and amazed that this talented, skilled surgeon is so absolutely artistic as well as so magnificently skilled. Yes, he has a world class education and years of outstanding experience, but what is so amazing about his work is that he is truly the best plastic surgeon in California! He is well-​loved and respected by his colleagues up and down the state winning numerous awards from colleagues, and yet, he remains humble, dedicated, kind and thoroughly wonderful at his work. I am 73 years old, I am a lovely woman, but as I have aged, I had developed the genetic «turkey waddle» I inherited from my mother and grandmothers. It did not make me feel loved, confident or glad that every other part of my body is aging like I was still 35 years old. My face lift was comfortable, Dr. Hung’s staff has taken the best possible care of me, even his selection of Anesthesiologist was brilliant. Yes, I have had pain, but nothing unexpected; yes, this was expensive, but it is my face and I wanted the best. I got the best 100%! I would do this all over again BUT I will not need to: my lovely face looks like the rest of my slowly aging body: about 35 years old!!! THANK YOU DR. HUNG for your skill and talent!!!

My husband went to Dr. Hung for a squamous cancer cell on his hand. I’m writing this review because my husband is not as vocal as I am. His first meeting with Dr. Hung was cordial and minimally informative. The surgery went well.
The follow-​up visits may have been unnecessarily prolonged when the removal of the 25+ stitches were stretched into two visits, when it could’ve been completed in one. We question whether it was another means of unnecessary charges to his patient.
At one of the follow-​up visits, we waited 1−½ hours to be seen by Dr. Hung. That was insane!!! We have appointments too but we notify the concerned if we’ll be late. Dr. Hung and his staff apparently don’t believe in that courtesy.
We discovered later that his office over-​charged us for a visit on which we weren’t even there. Heads up to everyone: check your Health Care statements sent you by your service carrier, i.e., Humana, Anthem, etc. We would like to think that it was an honest mistake and not a common occurrence to gain more income from patients.

I appreciated Dr. Hung’s focused presence before, during and after my surgery.
His staff was available to answer questions and the office atmosphere was very congenial.
I would recommend Dr. Hung and his staff.

I had a rare tumor on my forehead (dfsp) that was growing rapidly. Showed up in sept, got it removed the first time by a dermatologist and biopsied in dec. because I thought it was a cyst. At that point it was the size of a marble, I got the call in early January that I needed to get surgery to remove all of it. By February it had grown almost back to its previous size.
It took 3 cuts to remove it, the cut was the size of a silver dollar all the way down to my skull.
It took 36 stitches to sow my face back up. It was in the shape of a backwards L from the top center of my forehead to the far corner of my left eyebrow. It’s been 8 months since the surgery and my scare is almost not even noticeable. It took about two months to be able to be active again and I still have half of my forehead and top of my head numb, but I was warned of that before hand.
Had I waited any longer it would have penetrated my skull and I would have had to do chemo.
Dr Hung is very professional and great at what he does. I’m going in today to get a check up. The amount of cutting on my face was insane but it’s even more insane of the lack of a scar.
Don’t wait to get stuff like this checked out.

Medically, the most knowledgeable of all the doctors I met with, including knowing about alternative pain medications before and during the procedure and also listing far more drugs and supplements to avoid before the surgery because they promote bleeding.

I am a registered nurse who had surgery a year ago with Dr. Hung for a squamous cell on my cheek. I went to him because of his impressive resume. I thought that a MOHS and plastic surgeon would be the best since it was on my face. I had the option to go to my regular MOHS dermatologist who has done other surgeries for me in the past. But, I thought I was making the best decision by choosing Dr. Hung.
One year later and I have the most ugly scar on my face. It is more than two inches long, has suture marks across the scar and is very visible and I now need heavy cover up which I never used before the surgery. I am very embarrassed and never go out of my house without makeup.
Dr. Hung offered to do a scar revision„ but there is no way that I will let that man touch my face again. He is the worst surgeon and I am very sorry that I went to him.

Treatment and patient care I received from Dr Hung and his staff could not have been better. I had treatment with this office after a mole/​skin biopsy came back needing further attention. I would 100 percent recommend Dr Hung to anyone looking for this type of surgery. Staff and doctors are friendly and welcoming and put you at ease. He will only discharge when his patients are totally satisfied.

I have been to Dr. Hung for 2 melanomas. Both required skin grafts. Also,
I have had basal and squamous cells removed. As Dr. Hung says,“too much fun on the beach with that boy.” I have lots of sun damage.
Dr. Hung is a skilled surgeon and does what I want, which is to rid me of skin cancers. He listens to me and let’s me have a local instead of general anesthesia. It works well for me.
The staff and nurses are phenomenal! After surgery, I was at home and had questions about a tape rash. The nurse got back to me via email and I immediately removed the tape and tried another.
There are no long waits on the phone when making an appointment and the girls are friendly and helpful. They are organized and I have waited perhaps 15 minutes at the most for my many follow-​appointments.
Needless to say, I am very satisfied with my treatment at Dr. Hung’s office.
I’m sure that I will have new skin cancers. It is good to know that I have such a good place to go.

I just had Mohs surgery with Dr Hung to remove a Base Cell Carcinoma. He and his staff were amazing, caring very professional and thoughtful. His bedside manners are great. Undoubtly his credentials and experience make him a top notch doctor but the human touch he has is what makes him a great doctor.
I am so glad my internist recommended him!

I was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma stage one through a dermatologist in my area in the summer of 2013. She referred me to Dr. Hung who is a specialist in Mohs surgery as well as having other credentials. The area in question was a very small patch at the top center on the skin right at my lip line. To remove the cancerous area he cut from the base of my nose, to my lip line, along the lip line in both directions. Part of my lip in the center had to be removed. He stitched it back together and the healing process began. Keeping in mind the cutting he had to do to remove the skin cancer (the most important part) it was remarkable how well it healed and looked. Of course it did not look as it did prior to surgery. Most of my friends and family said it was not that noticeable or not noticeable at all. Of course I saw the slight scars and non symmetrical shape more than anyone. Expressing my concerns to Dr. Hung he was very empathetic and said lets see what I can do for you. I just had my reconstruction yesterday. Even though the swelling is still present I can see the shape is great and the scars are completely minimized. Dr. Hung is an exemplary doctor in his field, I highly recommend him. His office and staff are incredible. I hope to never have skin cancer again but if I do, I will see him and him only. Thank you so much Dr. Hung!

I have had a Basil cell carcinoma removed by Dr. Hung via Mohs surgery with great success. I have a small hardly visable scar. I am so happy the skin cancer is off of my face!

Wow… the facial surgery performed is all but completely unnoticeable. Amazing considering the amount of cancer cut out.

Dr. Hung is a HORRIBLE doctor. I went to him for a tiny{almost unable to see) basal cell issue and I came out maimed. When I expressed my dissatisfaction he pulled a picture of me on the surgery table and said «You are lucky I was even able to close it» I couldn’t believe he showed me the surgery pictures. He is ridiculously arrogant and has his staff is trained to tell you he is the best around. NOT!!!
Without my knowledge a family member went to him for an Undiagnosed skin issue. He had her come in once a week for months to drain her wound and couldn’t understand what was wrong… After a fortune spent and lots of time, she went to another doctor and he put her in the hospital immediately and she was diagnosed with cancer.
He DOES NOT care about his patients He only cares about the money.
He is repulsively unethical and dishonest. If you value your appearance, health or bank account STAY AWAY.
I don’t want any one to go through what we did.
