Excellent dermatologist and surgeon. Dr Mafong is an excellent surgeon and also takes the time to make sure you understand what's going on, and is very friendly. Doesn't rush. Would recommend him to my relatives if they lived in San Diego.

Doctor made a very long and jagged scar for a small MOHS surgery. Stitches were hap hazard. I also got a staph infection. I watched as the Doctor used comtaminated latex gloves to remove my sutures. When I told the nurse/attendent and asked her to please cleans the wound, she seemed amused. Very poor safety and very unfriendly office.
