Salesman in a White Coat – Beware I went to Dr. Daniel Kim for a free facelift consultation. Instead, he pushed a $5,200 CO2 laser treatment (which costs $500–$2,000 elsewhere) and offered 25 “complimentary” units of Botox to win my trust. Days later, I found out he charged my card $525 for 35 units—without my consent, signature, or any breakdown of cost. Worse, the Botox left me with eyebrow droop and no results. When I followed up, he refused to fix it, refund, or even offer the standard touch-up that most professionals provide. He uses high-pressure sales tactics, inflated prices, and unauthorized billing. Save your face and your money—stay far away.

Daniel B. Kim allowed me to go septic from long-term abusive neglect as he left the country and delayed the emergency surgery I needed. As I oozed yellow and white pus from my bre3sts, he told me not to go to the ER. I almost died. He didn't care. He just didn't want the hospital to find out he neglected me, even mocking me for begging for his help. I lost both 750 cc implants due to Kim's horrific abuse, and he bullied me with an attorney to never tell about his harm as he withheld my 6K overpayment for 6 months. He tried to bully me and financially starve me with my own money. Sick man! WHO SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DEAL WITH THE PUBLIC. Said of his own female staff: "She should be shot" twice in front of me. I believe this person to be a psychopath. NO EMPATHY AND FEELS LAWS AND BASIC HUMANITY TOWARDS OTHERS DON'T APPLY TO HIM.

I think 10 years after a procedure is a great time to write a review. Dr Kim performed an eye-lift and forehead lift on me. I felt the forehead lift was...

Dr. Kim is my hero. After I had my three kids, I was a size E cup and miserable. The weight and appearance effected my on a daily basis. I met with several doctors before deciding to have Dr. Kim perform my surgery. He opened a whole new world for me giving me the size I wanted, no more pain, and the freedom to buy whatever clothes I wanted. I am happy in my own skin. His bed-side manner is incredible and he is such a perfectionist. He pays attention to every detail and answers all your questions. Thank you!

Dr Kachenmeister made my decision so easy, after plenty of consultations I knew within a few minutes of meeting him that he would be my surgeon. So genuine and kind... And my results were better than I ever could have imagined. I am only 1 week post op and I'm SO excited and impressed with my results! Without a doubt Dr K is the BEST!
