Future Bright Dermatology

She is a very good doctor! I’d recommend her to anyone who is struggling with their skin. Dr. Elaine is helpful and understanding!

I would give zero stars if that were an option.
Theyre typically closed on Saturdays but I had no problem making an appointment on the same day; which was the huge plus! I arrived earlier upon request
Elaine was not friendly at all. In fact, the nurse was MUCH more kind understanding, and approachable. Ms. Elaine wanted me out of there as quick as possible. .Luckily, it lasted less than 4 minutes! Her personality was not warm or gracious. I was barely asked any questions. Elaine only relied strictly on what the nurse jotted down. Her whole manner was nonchalant and she just shrugged her shoulders a lot– which I find plainly rude to do when answering to a patient. She didn’t want to hear any of my comments. Don’t expect her to ask «Have I met all your concerns or are there any questions left, that youd like to ask?» Forget it, a simple «hello,» is not in her dialogue among her patients either. Her job is finished when she believes it is. Elaine will disappear off into another room without any notice and has very little care for anything else. Arrogant much???
I would not recommend her nor book a new appointment in the future The front-​desk staff seemed miserable as well; one lady even gave off a bad attitude. I couldnt understand the whole deal with everyone? I just wanted to sprint out of there.
The nurse was lovely, though.
But there’s nothing special about this doctor so dont even waste your time when
There are many other dermatologists out there.
P.s I never thought about making reviews for doctors except for this time when I felt highly dissatisfied.

Dr. Kung is very knowledgeable and professional. I had a very pleasant experience with this doctor. The wait for walk-​in wasn’t too long either. The entire staff at Dr. Kung’s office was very helpful and friendly. Will definitely recommend Dr. Kung to my friends for dermatologist.

Many of the lower rated reviews for Dr. Kung does not do her justice. She’s a very competent dermatologist who told me how to fix the problems I came to her with. Dr. Kung is straightforward and knows what she’s talking about. Not only did she resolve my issues, but she took the extra step and prescribed me medication for my mild acne even though I came to her for other problems. Thanks Dr. Kung!

This is not the kind of place you go to if you want to be waited on hand and foot by a doctor well versed in unnecessary niceties. Rather, Dr. Kung will provide an honest and succinct diagnosis that reflects her experience in the field. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dermatologist who is quick, clear, and concise in her practice.

First, let me start off by saying that Dr. Kung has impressive credentials which is why I initially agreed to sign up with her via Zocdoc. Her face and the staff’s face are immaculate, youthful and acne free so yes you are at the right place if you are looking to get your face cleared obviously.
But the reason why Dr. Kung gets five stars is because I actually met with her! and I’m a college student so I don’t have 5 star health insurance meanwhile over at other dermatology with prestigious doctors you only meet with PAs, nurses, or assistant which I’m sure they are equally as competent but it is still very arrogant that I don’t get to say at least hi to the doctors themselves.
Dr.Kung is competent, sweet, and straight to the point. Accutane is a medication that is hard to get because a lot of doctors are not confident enough to prescribe it in, my opinion, but Dr. Kung visit was smooth, easy, and quick.
She even responds to emails! It is located in Canal Street a predominantly Chinese community but do not let that throw you off. The staff is pleasant to everyone and they are happy to help everyone and anyone!
highly recommended!

I did not really have a problem with the doctor herself. Yes, she was a bit distant and did not come off as friendly, but she did her job so I do not have anything to complain about on her part. But what I DID have a problem with her assistant. First of all, I don’t even know if this person was an assistant or a PA, but she was way over her head. She didn’t even introduce herself. I had no idea who she was. She asked about my medical history before I actually saw the dermatologist. I told her about my eczema and showed her what cream I was using and she LAUGHED OUT LOUD when I showed her my medication. (I later showed the cream to the dermatologist and she said the cream was fine and I should continue using it.) I have no idea why the assistant scoffed at me as if the medication I was using was ridiculous. I found it extremely rude, condescending and unprofessional seeing as she isn’t a medical doctor, thus has no purpose in judging what type of medication I use. Also, when the dermatologist was checking my moles the assistant was also hoovering around, which I found to be very irritating, uncomfortable, inconvenient, and unnecessary.

THIS REVIEW DESERVES NO STAR! Some comments on
should strike me and made me think twice going to see this Dr. Elaine Kung. But I went there because I got referral by my primary care whom I trust. So thought I just tried my luck. Well. bad decision.
I confirm the negative comments on
are true. This Dr. is unprofessional, unfriendly, snobbish and disrespectful. She let her nurse does pretty much the MD job, interviewing and mini diagnosing my symptom.
This Dr. will be in and out so quick. In 3 mins and then she’s done! Poof! Your copay money gone! Little attention to the diagnosis.
She’s also ignorant by overlooking my concerns on the other acne area (I wrote that I came here for this ON THE PATIENT FILE!) and that I have to remind her, which she disdainfully said just use the same gel she prescribed for my face. Seriously? You went to med school and they taught you to be so ignorant and lazy? I’m not asking for your warm bedside manner but you should not just give a careless one-​gel-​will-​solve-​everything answer.
Bad experience. I wish there’s such law I can ask for a copay refund. STAY AWAY FROM DR ELAINE KUNG.

Dr. Kung is a very competent, knowledgeable, and efficient dermatologist. She’s a straight shooter who differentiates between the essential and the unnecessary, and will tell you what the best course of action is. She doesn’t have the warmest bedside manners, but then again, I don’t need to be coddled by my doctor.
The nurses are excellent, patient, and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain and answer any questions you may have. The receptionists are sweet, efficient, and multi-​lingual. Visits are typically by appointment, though I haven’t had a problem with walk-​ins. Wait times are generally about ten minutes to half an hour. The office could use a bit of updating, but that’s irrelevant to the quality of medical care.

So one of my rugrats had a wart on their feet. It actually sprouted and into two seperate warts on the same index. made an appointment to see Dr.Kung.
The wait wasn’t too bad. Filled the out the paperwork waited and bout 10 minutes we got called into the room. Dr. took a look at it did what she had to do to the warts. She was rather clinical not too personable. She prescribed some medication. The warts eventually fell off and we have a followup visit coming up.
