About Vanguard Skin Specialists

Vanguard Skin Specialists provides dental care on Grand Cordera Parkway in the Briargate area of Colorado Springs, Colorado. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less. Contact details for Vanguard Skin Specialists are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

Found out that I have a wart, not a skin tag. Doctor DiBlasi took care of it with a quick freeze! Hopefully this solves my issue!

I am a first time patient with Dr. Chung. I was very pleased with the facility, my reception, Dr. Chung and his associate, Luke. Everyone was courteous and kind. I was also pleased that although I had just come in for a skin check-up, Dr. Chung took immediate action and biopsied places that were suspicious. I have confidence that all will be taken care of in an efficient and appropriate way.

I am a repeat patient at Vanguard, and very pleased that my primary care doctor sent my referral to them. There is a minor disconnect in the technology "upgrades" since 5 years ago -- the new robots hounded me by text and email to fill out my new insurance info before arriving, but the new client portal could not take the corrected information! So I went in early to my appointment, and the receptionist sorted it all out in less than five minutes. The needed information was transmitted with the referral anyway, so the programmers need to correct the welcome bots. More importantly, the medical staff were superb and did everything I needed and wanted, with congenial welcoming professionalism. They are my go-to dermatologists for my problem skin issues.

Was told the only opening for the procedure was @ Briargate. When I made the apt. I asked for a pre-autorisation what the insurance will pay and my pay. The front desk said ill get a call from the surgery side of there business. No call ever. I let them know if I do not know what it would cost me I will Not do it. I was as well told someone else from the appointment scheduling will call me the day prior. Nothing no call from anyone. Now they bill me for a no show. Beware of these people. I called billing just voice-mail. Called the office they said yes the surgery department should have called but they are short on staff. Hear who owns them...Vanguard Skin Specialists is owned by its founding physician, Dr. Vinh Chung, and his wife, Leisle Chung. They co-founded the independently owned medical practice in Colorado Springs in 2009, and Leisle serves as the company's CEO.

Wouldn't even give them 1 star. When I made the appointment over a month ago I received a text stating if you have commercial insurance that you needed to secure a 250 dollar payment. I immediately called them asking about this. The lady told me don't worry, you will need to pay your copay. Once I arrived for my appointment the lady said we need 250 for secure payment. I told her I called and not to worry about it and just pay your copay. Well that didn't happen. I canceled my appointment. Can't believe a company that treats skin requires this. No other medical center has ever required such a payment.

I had an outpatient surgical procedure performed at Vanguard. The doctor and staff did an outstanding job in all facets of my visit, from the competency of the care to the kind and respectful treatment of me as a patient. I highly recommend this dermatology center without hesitation.
