Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kobayashi and his incredible team! From my very first consultation to my post-operative care, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and truly life-changing.Dr. Kobayashi is not only an exceptionally skilled surgeon but also a compassionate and attentive professional who takes the time to truly listen to his patients. He carefully explained every step of the process, answered all my questions with patience, and made me feel completely at ease. His meticulous attention to detail and artistry are evident in the outstanding results I’ve achieved—I couldn’t be happier!The staff is equally amazing. They are warm, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. Whether it was scheduling appointments, providing thorough pre- and post-op instructions, or simply offering a kind word of encouragement, their dedication and care were second to none.Thank you for making such a positive difference in my life!

It is typically hard to get an appointment with doctors at this plastic surgery unit. It is even harder to get test results after an MRI. Patients need communication about the MRI results quickly so they can take appropriate action and get an appointment with the doctors.

It is hard to get appointments with Dr Koby, but as explained to me before my surgery, that my surgical appt bumped others, so later my own appt could be bumped to accommodate other patients. Dr Koby is so skilled, so kind, so welcoming. I can't think of another doctor as good as he is!

Unfortunately I tried to call the Cardiac Center to get a pre operation appointment and left a message because there was only a recording. As of this afternoon I still have not heard from them if I don't hear by tonight I will probably go to Hoag for my test.
