Yong Kyu Kim, MD

Very Patient and honest. I have done my two jaw surgery in december 2014 The consultation not rush , my opinion from other clinic , and he is patiently hear what i want and honest about what i will get and what discomfort about the swollen after i get my surgery. I remember it clearly the day after my surgery was sunday , but the doctor message my friend( who accompany me) about my condition. And the nurse always check on me every 3-4hours. Now it has been almost 3years after my two jaw surgery and i still feel thankful and i feel really glad about my decision to choose him.

If I can give zero stars I would, this doctor botched my rhinoplasty really bad, and my nose now looks a lot worse than it used to prior to surgery. I messaged his assistant numerous times but they just keep ignoring my calls. The doctor did not bother to address my concerns nor was he remotely interested in consoling me. I had a peak deformity after which he claimed it was swelling, it has not been over a year and a half and my nose still looks horrible! He also removed 4 molars (mind you I already had 4 premolars removed from my previous orthodontist treatment). Since he performed a segmental osteotomy. He then referred me to another orthodontist after my surgery. I stayed in Seoul for 10 days after my surgery. On the 10th day he sent his assistant to lead me to an orthodontic clinic for invasiligns. He assured me prior to the segmental osteotomy that i would not need braces, but both my maxilla and mandible are completely misaligned. I opted not to get the invasiligns since the orthodontist had quoted me a ridiculous amounts of money. I told her that I live abroad (and Dr kim is well aware that I am coming from overseas), and instead of being an ethical doctor and reccomending an orthodontist from my primary place of residence he referred me to his colleague who i’m assuming gives him a cut of whatever patients he sends her way. I had to consult with several maxillofacial surgeons, all of whom collectively agreed that the osteotomy was a huge mistake and was actually not needed at all, because now my mandible is recessed and misaligned with my maxilla. I will be doing everything I can to make patients aware of this money hungry doctor who’s running an unethical practice and preys on his patients. And doesnt careless about the wellbeing of patients post op. I would’ve added more photos of my jaw as well but I’m too embarrassed to post them. I have undergone severe emotional distress due to this doctor’ negligence and lack of empathy. He ruined my face and my life!!
