Dr. Roy Kim
STAY FAR AWAY!A few years ago, I went to the smirky Dr. Roy Kim to have a cyst removed from my back.
When he met me at the hospital to perform the surgical procedure, he told me he was late for another appointment.
After rushing me into a hospital gown, he then haphazardly removed my cyst as quickly as possible, sewed me up like I was some random piece of cattle … and left.
This took little more than five minutes.
A dark, raised keloid scar soon formed. When I told Dr. Kim about this, he said it was because there are certain people (me being one of them) that easily form these scars.
This could be PARTIALLY true. However, I feel that his sloppy and frenetic surgical work also contributed to the scarring.
I’ve had a cyst removed before … and it did not leave behind a nasty keloid.
Dr. Kim decided to deflate my raised scar with two cortisone shots, which he ROUGHLY injected me with; couldn’t figure out if he was simply on a power trip or just naturally ungainly.
Soon, my scar deflated into a sunken crater, the size of a quarter.
So – to sum up this review: I went in to get a cyst removed (the most MINOR of surgeries) … and was first left with an ugly keloid, then injected with cortisone, which has now left it appearing like I have a hole in my back.
And guess what! The cyst has returned!
Don’t let his professional-looking office in the Mills Building sway you! STAY FAR AWAY!!
I would definitely come back for different procedures-thank you!
Had tear through and nose tip fillers done by Dr Kim; very satisfied with the results despite light bruising next day; I would definitely come back for different procedures-thank you!
Everything he did was very subtle and he is so personable!
I am a 50+ year old woman and have been a patient of Dr. Kim’s for 10 years. I started with botox and fillers. A year ago I did a lower facelift, surgery on my upper and lower eyes, fat transfers to my face and a stomach and lower back liposuction. I have to say, I am surprised that his overall rating is not a lot higher.
Thus, I am writing a review, even though I rarely post on Yelp. I have never been a beauty “junkie”. I have never had a facial or been to a medi-spa. I went to Dr. Kim based on a recommendation and was leery of both botox and fillers at first.
Everything he did was very subtle and he is so personable! Much to my great surprise, I decided to do the surgeries above because I felt so comfortable with Dr. Kim. I never thought I would ever do this. He took very good care of me and even made a house call post op!! I have gotten so many compliments on the results. Very, very happy I took the plunge.
Overall I would definitely do it all over again with Dr. Roy Kim.
If you are looking to get breast augmentation I strongly recommend Dr. Roy Kim. I went in for surgery on a Thursday and was back to work on Monday. The pain pump was definitly worth it because I experienced very little pain and barely used the prescribed pain killer.
His staff is also incredibly nice and patient and really helped me decide on the right size for me. I am writing this review because I did have a postive experience and although normally I don’t write reviews the reviews on this page helped me select Dr. Roy Kim and I am grateful and want to contribute. Overall I would definitely do it all over again with Dr. Roy Kim.
