Marcia McVey Local Guide·10 reviews·10 photos just now New If you're looking for a plastic surgeon who really listens to your goals, explains the process clearly, and is the utmost professional, I can't recommend Dr. Esther Yoonah Kim enough. She is a gifted and talented surgeon -- a true standout in her field. Let me back up and explain how I found her. I'm a 65-year-old woman who was ready for a big transformation -- not to look like someone else, but to feel like myself again. I started by interviewing several surgeons because I was planning to have a lot done and I wanted it to look natural. Many had great reviews and seemed capable, but Dr. Kim stood out from the very beginning. She was thoughtful, thorough, and so knowledgeable. My first consult with her lasted about an hour, and the second one went for two full hours. She took tons of notes on everything I said. I remember walking out thinking, She's the one. So, what did I have done? Quite a bit! I had a face, neck, and brow lift; fat grafting (used as filler in my facial area); lower eyelid blepharoplasty; and perioral dermabrasion on my upper lip. I was under anesthesia for around 8.5 hours. From pre-op to post-op, the process was easy to follow and honestly kind of seamless. I've had zero complications -- none. Now I'm two months out, and I feel fabulous. I think I look refreshed and natural -- not overdone at all. My scars are already fading, and I'd say I look 10 to 15 years younger. My neck was my biggest issue going in, and now it's one of my favorite results -- absolutely perfect. An unexpected perk? The fat grafting has improved my skin quality. My complexion is much clearer now, and the age spots I used to have are barely visible. Dr. Kim also has such great bedside manner. She's professional and focused but also warm and easy to talk to. And her staff -- from Alejandra to Erica to Maria (and I know I'm forgetting others!) -- they are all so kind, personable, and supportive. I always felt like I was in good hands. Before surgery, I felt like my outer appearance just didn't match how I felt inside. I'm active, healthy, and full of energy -- but I looked in the mirror and saw tired eyes, sagging skin, and that neck I couldn't stop noticing. Now, just a couple months later, I feel confident again. I still look like me -- just a better, fresher version. It truly was one of the best decisions I've made.

I was seen by Dr. Filip. At the beginning of the consultation, the surgeon said we needed to "deal…read morewith the elephant in the room," referring to my weight. He then repeatedly stated that I was "the definition of anorexic." I explained that I have always been naturally thin, but instead of listening, he continued making assumptions about me personally and said the deeper issue was that I was unhappy with myself. I fully understand that a surgeon can decline elective surgery for medical or safety reasons. That was never the issue for me. The issue was the delivery, the judgmental tone, and the lack of professionalism and compassion throughout the interaction. At one point he even rolled his eyes while I was trying to explain myself. No patient should leave a consultation feeling humiliated or psychologically analyzed instead of medically evaluated. I am sharing my experience so others are aware of the bedside manner they may encounter here.

It takes a lot for me to leave a negative review. I'm usually one that tries my best to find…read morepositive in everything, despite the interactions. I do believe this needs to be shared with Pacific Dermatology back office functions. Firstly, i must say-- interactions with the front end staff including scheduler Elizabeth (on the phone she was lovely and explained everything precisely) and check-in personnel, Brandy, were absolutely wonderful. Very friendly, helpful and professional. I'm grateful for them! The office was also very clean. Unfortunately, the gut feeling I had about the few back office staff I encountered including Dr. K was reality and quite the opposite of the front office staff. I waited for 40 minutes or so to be seen-- I don't mind waiting especially when believing you're in good hands. I don't expect perfection, I do expect standards of medical care and practice. I can't recall the gentlemen's name(MA) that brought me back, he was topically friendly. I went to sit on the exam chair and I was surprised he said, "oh no not there. Please have a seat in the smaller chairs." I have fibromyalgia and other chronic medical issues and was in a lot of pain. But I listened and sat in the plastic chair which is fine. He proceeded to remove the paper I briefly sat on from the exam table. Not sure if he was annoyed, but his body language conveyed it. He was quickly in and out with what seemed to be really rushed usual instructions. I thought maybe he was in a rush or just moved more swiftly. Told myself not to assume. Next, the doctor comes in with a female MA who were both seemingly friendly also. Speaking really quickly and quite rushed, Dr. K gives her MA a look and then looks at me. Kind of awkward but I thought "she needs her chair to be comfortable and there is absolutely no harm in that." Dr K explained she usually asks for her chair and that's why she looked at her MA which made sense. In the very short time the MA went to get her chair, Dr. K asked me a few brief questions to gather chief complaints. The MA walks back in the room with her chair and Dr K says, "oh we are already done, don't even need the chair." I felt really confused and frustrated. I briefly told her my concerns, yet it was as if she was in such a rush to get through our time to get on to the next. I totally get she's running a clinical practice and has to be efficient, but there was hardly room for me to speak. She had asked me to de-robe (shirt only) right there in the chair and I felt very uncomfortable. I asked, "right here? In this chair?" She said, "yes." Didn't offer a gown or to sit on the exam table. Or anything. I felt Bert uncomfortable and as if I had little say as she was just trying to 'check the boxes' and move on to the next person. Dr K rushed through giving an injection and other medications that I barely had a moment to process all that she was saying. I realize I could have asked her to slow down or fully exam the areas of concern (she didn't even feel the lump I was talking about just went off of my report), but I was in shock. I tried to explain some of the issues I'm having with moles on my face and she quickly shut it down and said "no we won't touch those." I asked about the lump under my armpit and she asked if it was this or that...how do I know? I'm not a doctor. That's why I came to seek her expertise. I hoped for at least a full exam. My referral was for skin check/full exam and a few other areas of concern. The female MA gave a print out of after care instructions for the frozen skin. She at least took the time to review it. I'm grateful for that. I left confused, in shock, and asking myself "what just happened there?" I was in and out of the exam room within about 5 minutes or so. I left with many more questions and several more prescriptions which is what it seemed her answer to everything was. The front desk staff was very kind on the way out. Quite a bummer for the wait and also the hope for good care--as I was referred. I am now having to seek out another dermatologist because the lump has grown larger after the injection, the mole she froze looks awful, and I have other areas of concern couldn't address because it was so rushed. I'm sad thinking of other patients who may experience similar things. Truly a bummer and poor standard of care.

I never received a phone call, email, or text letting me know there was an issue. Instead, I only found out after I arrived for my appointment. I didn't have the correct card with me because I had already submitted what I believed was the right one beforehand. I asked if I could provide the updated insurance information after my appointment, but I was told no and had to leave without being seen. To make matters worse, both the front desk staff and the call center were rude and unhelpful. Rather than trying to work with me or offer a solution, I felt dismissed throughout the entire interaction. The whole experience left me feeling like patient care wasn't a priority. After being treated this way, I won't be returning and will be seeking care elsewhere. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this office to others.

He performed my…read morebreast explant surgery without capsulectomy, and the entire process exceeded my expectations. I had no drains and virtually no pain. Honestly, the hardest part of recovery was reminding myself that I had just had surgery because I felt so good afterward, I had to consciously slow myself down and take it easy. That alone speaks volumes about Dr. Park's skill and technique. I am now two weeks post-op and I am beyond happy with my results. My breasts look almost better than what I started with. Even with the steri-strips still on, my incision is clearly healing beautifully. I've had no swelling, no bruising, and my recovery has been incredibly smooth. Dr. Park is truly gifted, and I felt confident and well cared for every step of the way. If you're considering explant surgery and want a surgeon who prioritizes precision, comfort, and outstanding results, I highly recommend Dr. Gregory Park.

From the moment I walked through the front door, I felt like I was in for something very special. The atmosphere of the office could only be described as state-of-the-art. I felt completely comfortable from the get go. The staff goes above and beyond the call of duty. They are the most friendly and courteous people I've ever encountered in a doctors office. They should make a training video for other practices. The phrase that comes to mind when I think of Dr. W is "Master of his Profession". Not only is he a perfectionist when it comes to plastic surgery, he possesses all of the other qualities you want in a doctor when it comes to making you feel comfortable and informed, as well as making sure all of your questions have been answered. I knew he was extra special when the nurse prepping me for surgery made a comment. Unsolicited by me, she said "You picked a great doctor. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is very personable. He's got the whole package". I agree 100%! I am very happy with the results of my surgery. I am left with nearly invisible scars and a new refreshed look and outlook on life! I would definitely recommend Dr. W to all of my friends.
