    Consultation from Chu in regards to damage caused by Larry Schlesinger

    Dr Chu lied and produced a signed letter stating my medical records were destroyed. Luckily I had a copy, when the state questioned him he said it was a mistake. Dr Chu responded with they were misplaced. If they were misplaced why sign a letter saying they were destroyed? How did they get misplaced for a MICP review? Then magically found AFTER my statues were run out? Shady. And how could I when you had "misplaced" my records come to you to fix all the mistakes you said Schlesinger committed. Even your own nurse said I should sue him. Also why were you not present when I subpoenaed you for the MICP?

    Dr. Chu was the best experience ever. I wasn't hesitant when choosing him because I've heard so many great things about his practice. I'm so happy with my results. The healing process was of course a challenge for me but Dr. Chu was super attentive to me with every question and concern before, during and also after my BA. I'm so so happy I chose to go with him. You definitely get what you pay for. I'm 6 weeks post-op (as shown in the first pic), I'm slowly getting back to working out (no weights), hopefully soon I'll be able to get back to working out at my full potential. Nonetheless, it is definitely worth the wait. After the 2 week post-op mark the rest of the process was a breeze. I could resume eating sushi, drinking coffee, moving my arms and doing things on my own. 10/10 RECOMMEND. Thank you Dr. Chu and staff for being so amazing at what you do!

    I just left his office like an hour ago for a chin augmentation and neck lipo and I love it already!! He is such a great guy. He actually cares and takes the time to answer all your questions, you'll never feel rushed by him. He even played some calming music during the procedure because he knew i was a bit nervous. Thank you! I'll be coming for more my nose next. This photo was taken an hour after I left his office so it's swollen. I can't wait to see how it looks when it heals. Thank you Dr. Chu and Hyun!

    Do you do kiloid removal on ears?

    I'd have to see the keloid scar on the ear. If its small an injection of steroids would be recommended. Please call 808 524-1551 to schedule an appointment. Thank you Dr. Chu

    Do you offer scar removal options for facial scarring after an accident? Scar is small, about 1/2 inch long maximum (maybe closer to 1/4th of inch) right near the upper lip, under nose region. Slight indentation I want removed.

    Yes an indented scar has not been approximated properly. A scar revision with proper approximation of the deep dermis and epidermis will result in a smooth scar. This scar will fade with time. If you are interested please call our office at 808… 

    Hello! I am looking for a new spa to receive Botox treatment! Wondered if you guys offer this and what you charge per unit?! TIA☺️

    Hi Alicia if you are referring to Botox it’s approximately $150. This will last 3 months. If you want to use fillers it varies between $500 - $750 depending on which filler is used. This can last 12-15 months. Dr. CHU

    Would fillers or Botox be better for "tired" eyes and what would be best for a nonsurgical nose job? And what would be an average price range

    Hi ST. Botox are to reduce wrinkles around the eyes. I would recommend either Volbella for small changes around the tired eyes or a nose job. It's a small volume only 0.6 cc. Cost of one Volbella syringe is $500. If you need larger volumes as…

    Do you offer jaw reduction surgery? If so, about how much would that cost?

    We usually just inject Botox which can significantly reduce the jaw without surgery. Far less risky and less painful. I rarely do jaw reduction surgery since we use Botox.

    What BA is better saline or silicone and why?

    Currently we are using only silicone implants although salines are still available. The new silicone implants are more form stable, less likely to ripple and wrinkle. The form stable silicone holds its shape so in the event of a rupture which is…

    Thanks for your inquiry about scar and birth mark removal. I would need to see how large the scar or birth mark is to give a more detailed estimate. If you could email me photos at benchu_1@msn.com I could give you a better estimate. Thanks Dr.…

    I'm positive I can direct this review in many different angles however the truth of the matter is,…read moreI came to Asia Pacific to correct a cosmetic issue that was haunting me for decades. The process from the first time I reached out all the way through the follow up visits, the service they provided me is undoubtedly the best thing ive done for myself in a long time. What they do is provide people like yourself an avenue to rid yourself of any unwanted cosmetic issues that may be leaving you depressed and unhappy. I highly recommend you utilize the expertise that the ENTIRE staff provides.

    SURGERY PATIENTS BEWARE…read more I deeply regret selecting Dr. Shim Ching. My experience with him and Asia Pacific was a nightmare, and a significant portion of my result is so unacceptable that I require a costly and risky revision surgery. I feel botched and mutilated. I avoid mirrors and public settings because of the effect this has on my appearance. I am deeply ashamed that I trusted this person and allowed them to do this to my body. On the day of surgery, the anesthesiologist was unaware of important medical history that I had provided to Dr. Ching's staff weeks earlier. Asia Pacific had expressly assured me that my medical history and concerns were being taken seriously. Yet, as I sat prepped and awaiting surgery, it became abundantly clear that this information had not been shared with the anesthesiologist. I then waited in the intake room for more than two hours while the anesthesiologist requested the information I had provided and reviewed it to assess surgical risk. Despite the practice's error, I had no financially viable option to cancel on the spot. Withdrawing that morning would have meant forfeiting over $40,000. I was therefore placed in the untenable position of either proceeding with surgery despite serious concerns about the handling of my medical records or losing the entire amount I had paid because of an error that was not mine. No respectable medical practice would place a patient in that position. This failure, compounded by serious deficiencies in postoperative care and communication, destroyed my trust in both Dr. Ching and his staff. Their conduct changed markedly after the practice collected my full surgical fees -- they repeatedly revealed serious deficiencies in professionalism, communication, and basic administrative competence. I recently requested a partial refund to help defray the cost of revision surgery with a different surgeon. Asia Pacific denied that request outright, without dialogue with me or any form of good-faith effort to address why I don't feel safe with Dr. Ching. Offering to revise his own work is not a reasonable solution when repeated lapses in professionalism, communication, and patient care have left me with no confidence in his judgment or ability. I strongly urge prospective patients to conduct thorough due diligence before entrusting Dr. Ching with their body, safety, and money. Do not assume that "over a million followers" is actually real, or that an expensive office is evidence of surgical competence, patient safety, or accountability.

A huge thank you to PA Israel Rodriguez for making the entire experience so much better. He made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure, constantly checked in on me, and made sure I was okay every step of the way. He's incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and has such a fun personality, which really helped ease my nerves. As for the results, I'm honestly so happy. My skin isn't perfect yet, but the improvement is already noticeable, and I'm loving the progress. Seeing my acne scars soften has given me so much more confidence. It was absolutely worth the time, the money, and the recovery. If you're struggling with acne scars and have been thinking about getting UltraClear laser treatment, I highly recommend this clinic.

    From A to Z, things could not have gone better with this entire meeting, surgery, and post-op care…read more But here's the nuts and bolts of what most really care about... COST: I initially went for a consultation at another clinic, and I was quoted prices that were not only out of line for the procedure I wanted but were genuinely astronomical. It stands to reason they would charge so much more when you realize that you are paying for nearly 100 staff members who mostly do everything but surgery (i.e., facials, etc.). After doing my due diligence, speaking with a number of women who have been patients of Dr. Feguson, and then coming in for the initial consult, I was so thoroughly impressed by Emma, Theresa, and company that I paid for everything right there on the spot. The total cost was slightly less than half of what the other joint quoted me. RESULTS: Let's face it... we're all getting older, and some of us are uglier than others. I was getting so ugly and wrinkly that I would wear a wig backward, put a mask on the back of my head, and walk in reverse everywhere I went. I'm not kidding. Small children would shriek and cry, women would shout "EEK!" and run away, and dogs would make that high-pitched howling they do when they hear a fire engine siren. Doctor Ferguson fixed that problem, and now I can't keep my hands off myself. I'm sure that is probably illegal in several states, but I don't care. HAPPY ENDING: Ladies, you can bet your sweet patootie that if I need more surgery to entice women to throw their lingerie at me, I will make The Ferguson Clinic my first and only stop!

He's talented, professional, and genuinely cares about his patients. What really stands out to me is his passion for always pushing forward. His office is now pioneering a new technique for treating capsular contracture, and I think that's incredible. Dr. S is not one to sit still, he is always innovating and pushing his industry forward. It's exciting to see his dedication to innovation and how much he cares about helping women feel their best. Years later, I can still call on him for advise or with questions. His generosity with his time is unmatched (and having met with many docs on island, I know.) It's rare to find a surgeon who has both the skill and the heart. I trust him fully and couldn't recommend him more highly.

Sure, sometimes he comes across as a bit zingy, but its because he is excited to help people feel more confident in their own skin. Without going into too much detail regarding why I visited this office, I want to give a thorough review for those of you wondering if you should pull the trigger on getting a service done. First and foremost, his staff is amazing. They are friendly, knowledgeable and committed to giving you a pleasant experience. They are also easy to reach, are fast to respond, and always willing to help. Location cant be beaten. Located in Hale Pawaa, this office is on the 5th floor, in a corner unit. Easy to find and has great views. Parking is validated. Offering a wide array of services, PRP Hawaii and Dr. Schlesinger are committed to helping people reach their body goals. I can say from experience that I was always against modifying my body in any way to achieve a desirable appearance. However, after feeling less than confident about myself and getting older, I sought some advice - which turned into a referral - which turned into a service - which ultimately turned into me being a much happier person. Depending on your service and what is expected, results vary. Obviously. They are in the business of beautification - not magic. Do your research. Shop around. But I assure you, PRP Hawaii will offer high quality services for a competitive price. If you're wondering what to do, reach out. You may as well get a consult. Tell them that this review sent you - either way, they'll treat you like family.
