The Skin Icon Clinic’s motto is “Changing Skin Health one person at a time”, this is my avenue to bring change through adequate diagnosis, treatment and individualized dermatologic care, more than treating a patient…I treat each person with care, respect, empathy, acceptance and love. I hope in this way I can alleviate their pain, their sickness and give them joy despite their sickness.” – Dr. Eleonor B. Asuncion, MD FPDS
