I asked Dr. Chin about a tummy tuck, upper arm skin removal and liposuction around hips and lower…read moreback. He advised that the tummy tuck would take about four hours and should be first. If I wanted to move forward with the other surgeries, they should follow. He advised that a quote would be emailed, which never arrived. I called the office the following week and the receptionist made excuses for the business manager, who was to forward the quote. She'll be back in the office Monday and you'll receive the details then, yet no email arrived. I called a week later and my calls (phone number) had, apparently, been programmed to go sraight to voicemail automatically. I understand that Dr. Chin didn't want to move forward, but why wouldn't he simply just say this during the consultation, e.g., 'I don't believe you're a good candidate for this procedure.' or 'I don't think I'm the right doctor to proceed with this. Let me recommend someone else.'?? In fact, he ended the consultation with "Yes, we can definitely do this. The front desk will provide a quote and schedule, if you want to proceed." Based on this experience, he and his front desk staff were lieing to my face (and ears), which was both frustrating and incredibly unprofessional. If Dr. Chin didn't want to do it, he should just say so and/or have his staff advise. At least, he could show a little respect for others. He should not take people's money (the consultation fee isn't cheap), then lie to them and have your staff lie, as well. If you want an MD like this, he'll happily take your money! I'd rather trust my surgeon, one with integrity and basic respect for potential clients (patients).

I was left to figure out how to deal with permanent medical problems on my own. Since then I have consulted many other physicians who have not provided helpful guidance.

Before meeting Dr. Kim, I was convinced that he wouldn't be able to help me. After three previous…read morerhinoplasties and dealing with my overly crooked nose and deviated septum, I expected him to tell me--like other plastic surgeons had over the years--to leave my flawed nose alone. To my surprise, after his assistant took pictures from all angles and he examined my nose, he said he could help me and that I was a good candidate! Two months ago, I underwent revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim, and I'm extremely happy with the results. He guided me every step of the way regarding what to expect from the surgery. Firstly, he informed me that my nose would be swollen and appear "big" for several months and that it might take up to 1-2 years to settle into its expected shape. He also mentioned that some asymmetry would remain, but that it would be significantly improved. Even while still swollen, I can see a huge improvement, and I've already received compliments from three friends about my new nose. I can breathe better now and have less sinus discharge. Most importantly, I no longer feel self-conscious about my nose. Each day, it seems to be getting a bit smaller, which is exciting. The renditions he provided of what my new nose would look like closely match how my nose appeared right after surgery before the swelling began. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unhappy with their nose. I only wish I had found him sooner.

I regret using Dr. Kim to do my first revision. It's been 14 months post Op and every day since…read moreavoiding mirrors and hating my reflection. This surgery cost $36,000, took 6.5 hour under anesthesia, was a painful rib graft and I have nothing but severe regret. I had a nasal valve collapse on the left side which caused breathing issues. Those breathing issues are still not resolved and now I'm left with a nose that looks worse than before and even more compromised breathing from the right side. We never discussed shortening my nose and he left me with a bulky, short nose that looks nothing like the morph we discussed. I should have trusted my gut when we couldn't align on a morph and walked away. My front view shows the uneven nostrils that no one would want to look at daily. Not sure why he shortened my SEG when doing so would reveal uneven nostrils. I'm a tall person and a short bulky nose doesn't fit my face. The day of surgery I was obviously super nervous and I tried to go through the plan again and he seemed rushed and dismissed the morph I brought with. My husband was shocked at how Greenbrae surgery center just dumped me in the car after. No one called him and Dr. Kim definitely didn't call him to let him how I did after a 6.5 hour surgery. My primary treated us much better and was 1/3 the price. Dr. Kim seemed rushed to start his vacation and I regret trying to schedule surgery when he was leaving the country shortly after my operation. The worst part is I still can not breathe from the right side. It's always stuffy and feels so bulky. Breathing out feels like the LCSG is obstructing the exhale. He used my own rib which he told me was calcified. Therefore I'm guessing calcified rib is hard to carve small. When I told him at cast off I couldn't breathe from the right side, he abruptly closed the left side to try to prove I could breathe better from the right side. Breathing out is still obstructed. Dr. Kim's demeanor changes once you start to question his work. Cast off was extremely traumatic as my nose was so swollen the photos they took I look like a troll. I assumed at cast off we would talk through what he found in my nose and go through his findings. This was not the case. For paying as much as I did I was basically rushed out. If he took the time to review his post op notes especially to a patient traveling from across the country it would have left me in a better frame of mind. Instead I cried my entire cab ride back to the hotel. My LCSG is hanging in my left nostril. It's huge and bulky and painful when it's cold outside. My left side nostril continuously run and its embarrassing and disgusting. Had he ever once explained that I would need LCSG grafts I would have waited on this surgery or sought another opinion. None of these doctors want to explain that this graft makes your nose hard as a rock and heavy. I still don't even think I needed it as my tip never was collapsed. The spreader graft was all we discussed to open the valve. It was the worst summer of my life where I spent every day crying and not recognizing myself. I am gutted every time I look at photos before this surgery with him. When I told him I was unhappy he tried to suggest BDD and said 90% of his patients have this. That is NOT the case. His lack of listening to the patients desired aesthetics and his lack of feminine aesthetics should not be turned around on the patient like that. The left side is full of scar tissue b/c I can no longer scrunch my nose. There is no after care with Dr. Kim. He takes the cast off and will take a few phone calls but he has no recos to tape, no HBOT recos, you will be driving that train with him. I now need to muster up the courage to start consulting revision doctors at my year mark and decide if I can withstand going through the emotional turmoil of a 3rd operation to my face/nose to correct the liberties he took with my face. The healing and swelling post revision is awful. The cost of a revision is high and the outcomes aren't always good.

You've seen her on TV, and she's even better in person!…read more Before she was on TV simultaneously curing your acne and insomnia with Proactiv, Dr. Katie Rodan was a highly respected dermatologist -- clinically, academically, and in research. Well, she still is. Dr. Rodan came highly recommended by physicians all around the Bay Area. The day I was referred and the night before my appointment, I saw her infomercial for Proactiv for the first time (this was in 1995). Her product created with Dr. Kathy Fields was fairly new on the market and was already very successful. I went in to see her not knowing what I was going to get. Was Judith Light going to welcome me at the door? Dr. Rodan instantly earned my respect when, as a patient in her office, she didn't try to sell me Proactiv. In fact, she said for me NOT to use it. I knew at this moment she was there for my interests and not hers. I can go on and on about her professional achievements and accolades (she is truly amazing), but I think it's important for people to know that, with all her commercial success, she never "sold out." She is first and foremost a physician. (And, a damn good one.) A perfect blend of intelligence, experience, and bedside manner, Dr. Rodan listens and cares. If you need a dermatologist, she is my #1 recommendation. And, if you act now, she'll throw in the bill for free!

For context, I received 3cc facial Renuva injections in Beverly Hills two years ago but that…read moresurgeon didn't numb my face and those injections were more painful than actual surgery. Fast forward to this year, I read that Dr. Rajagopal was the number one Renuva provider in the country and her website stated that numbing cream was used. I was terrified of more pain but hopeful that this experience would be less painful. At this office, numbing cream was literally applied to my face for 30 minutes and then ice was applied afterwards. Although the injections were still painful, they were much more tolerable. Dr. Rajagopal has a gentle hand, a kind demeanor, and good aesthetic sense. I've seen four other different plastic surgeons but Dr. Rajagopal has given me the most faith in doctors. I wish that I had known about her earlier. I would definitely come here for Renuva injections or other treatments as needed. They are not inexpensive at 2500 for 3 cc. Dr. Rajagopal clearly cares about people and their comfort. This is very important as any surgery or injection is a stressful experience so bedside manners and genuine concern is priceless. The only odd thing was that I was presented the bill during numbing by a staff member. Payment is expected after treatment and I knew the cost beforehand so it was strange to get the bill during the middle of the procedure and then after the procedure again. I would have been happy to pay in advance if they are worried about people leaving without paying. In any case, the office staff was nice. There was easy and free private parking provided. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rajagopal for her keen aesthetic eye and caring demeanor.
