I have already recommended her to another friend of mine that was looking to change doctors.

I am very grateful to Dr Van Why for her excellent. Dermatology health is critical to me due to inherited frail skin & a history of repeated severe sunburns from early childhood through young adulthood. She has routinely found both cancerous & precancerous issues overlooked by other professionals. She is outstanding.

Wonderful doctor

Apr 14, 2026
Even though she is way over worked she never appears rushed. She devotes all her attention to whom ever she is treating. It is a shame that SSM cannot find another Dermatologist for the staff. When there is a waiting list of 1200 you know there is a serious issue.
