If I could give Dr. Kim 10 stars, I would. He is perhaps the best doctor I have ever had the pleasure of visiting and handled my case with the utmost care, concern, kindness, and most importantly, exceptional skill. I had a disfiguring outcome from another surgeon from a routine breast revision due to a ruptured implant. He identified the problem immediately, and offered solutions that resulted in a perfect outcome. His staff is wonderful and helpful as well. I cannot recommend him any more enthusiastically and hope you have the pleasure of working with this talented surgeon.

Amazing; warm & friendly, though professional with ethical and empirical division making skills drawn from his years of training Ang experience.This was a repeat total facelift of one performed just 2 weeks before my daughter's weeding with terrific results. I was a surgical nurse and was referred to him initially by the chief of the hospital ED.

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 Btx 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 Btx 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.

I have worked as a plastic surgery RN for over 25 years, so it is with a lot of experience that I find Dr. Daniel Kim to be one of the most skilled, patient, and detail oriented surgeons I have encountered. He takes time to thoroughly explain procedures and answered my many questions. His office staff was friendly and professional. I had surgery with him June 2024 and could not be happier with my results. In the many years I have worked in plastic surgery, I have encountered many surgeons, seen their work, and could have gone to any of them, but I chose Dr. Kim. He is meticulous and has an eye for detail that not all surgeons possess. I very highly recommend!

I consider Daniel B Kim a danger to the public and he seems to dislike women in general. Although that is his main patient. He treated me in a manner that almost resulted in my end. I'm trying to talk in the parameters this site wants. Intensify what I am saying because this person is not sound and changed my life forever with his harm. He then bullied me to try to silence me.
