What our patients say about Dr. Sajben
I had a great experience at CK Derm in Chico. Dr Sajben was very thorough, answered my questions, and was friendly. Even though my problems were rather minor, I felt that Dr Sajben gave me the same attention that someone with a major problem would get. My husband had a cancerous mole removed a few days before Memorial Day weekend. The surgery resulted with a lot of red swelling. Dr Sajben had us text him over the weekend. There are not too many doctors that do that for a patient. Thank you Dr Sajben! – Anne Henkel
I appreciate Dr. Sajben’s approach to my skin cancer prevention care. After he removed the cancer 4 years ago (Mohs surgery), I go to him yearly to make sure it’s not back and nothing else is either. I enjoy his sense of humor and appreciate his thoroughness. He always takes the time to explain anything I am unclear on. The last time I was there, I was the last appointment of the day, but at no point did he or any of the associates rush any part of the appointment. I appreciated everyone’s professionalism. – John Patterson
