Testimonials

Dr. Yu is amazing and would definitely recommend her. I want to start off by saying how wonderful the staff is from the receptionist to everyone in the back office. I’m 12 weeks post op and love my results. The procedures that I got done was removing my almost 19yrs old implants and getting a new breast augmentation with a lift. I had previously consulted with many other surgeons but Dr. Yu was the one that I felt really understood what I was trying to accomplish. Dr. Yu made me feel at ease with the whole process. She is very caring and extremely nice.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Advance Institute of Plastic Surgery, and I am absolutely thrilled with my experience. From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for my entire journey.

Dr. Kim, was a standout. Her approach was not only professional but also deeply sincere and honest. She provided clear, thoughtful feedback and guidance throughout the process, ensuring that I was comfortable and well-informed at every step.

What really impressed me about Dr. Kim was her exceptional bedside manner. She has a unique way of making her patients feel at ease, supported, and valued. This level of care and attention is rare and truly appreciated.

The staff, from Erica to Mari, were incredible. Their accommodating nature and attention to detail made me feel like I was in the best hands. Each interaction was marked by kindness and efficiency, making my entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

A special mention must go to Sid at the Bloom Spa. Her skills are truly exceptional. With what I can only describe as ‘hands of an angel’, she made my facial treatments feel like a rejuvenating journey. I walked out feeling beautiful and ageless, and that’s a testament to her expertise.

These ladies are, without a doubt, pure gold. They embody the perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism, making them a joy to interact with. Their passion and dedication to their work are evident in every conversation and treatment.

As for my results – they are nothing short of amazing. The transformation has been both physically and emotionally uplifting. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kim and her team for anyone considering plastic surgery and aesthetic treatments. They have not only met but exceeded my expectations in every way.

If you’re looking for a team that combines professional expertise, compassionate care, and outstanding results, look no further than the Advance Institute of Plastic Surgery. They truly are the best in the field, and I am immensely grateful for their impact on my life.

My experience with Advanced Institute had been ongoing for about 4 months now. As a whole team they all work together flawlessly and take care of their customers. While each member of the staff I’ve met has treated me like family, Dr. Yu is the reason I’m writing the review. From the moment I met her, I felt comfortable. She is incredibly knowledgeable but is down to earth. I had a Mommy Makeover and I was nervous (It’s not a small sugery) but I knew I had a surgeon who truly cared about me as a person. Surgery day went super smooth. The road to recovery has been difficult in that my body went through a major change but Dr. Yu has been there the whole way. The whole office has. I can’t talk her and the team up enough. This summer, I will get to be a confident Mom in a bathing suit for the first time. Thank you Advanced Institute!

I am about 4 mos post-op from a breast augmentation by Dr. Filip. I am so incredibly happy with my results and the quality of service at AI. They take time to learn about what you want and don’t try to upsell you on anything you don’t. I felt super comfortable throughout the entire process and left feeling much more confident than before. Thanks Dr. Filip, Nikki, Allie and the rest of the team there!

Couldn’t be happier with my tummy tuck experience. A friend of a friend recommended this place and I am so glad they did. Dr. Filip is a skilled artist. My tummy tuck scar 1 year postop is almost invisible. I couldn’t have hoped for better results.

I recently had a neck and face lift done by Dr. Kim. I cannot possibly express how happy I am with not just the results but with the entire process as well. I saw Dr Kim for my initial consultation in the Redlands office. I was greeted by a staff who is not just welcoming, but very professional. Dr Kim spent quite some time with me, really listening to what I was looking for, which was to just look like me minus the visual signs of aging. She thoroughly explained the entire process, giving me her input about the final outcome as well as expectations about the recovery process. Prior to surgery the staff kept in regular contact regarding any medical requirements I needed (EKG) as well as giving me a packet of information that was thoroughly explained. All my questions were answered, and I never once felt rushed. The entire staff is just amazing.

And the best part? The outcome! Dr. Kim is truly a master in her profession. I am absolutely amazed by how I look. It is exactly what I was looking for; I look like a more youthful and fresher me. The change is subtle enough that others will think you went on a long relaxing vacation, yet the change has been profound for me. I love looking at myself in the mirror. What a gift is that! I would do it again in a second.

For anyone considering a cosmetic procedure, Look no further. Dr. Kim and her staff are absolutely the best there is!

Wow special Thank You to Dr. Miles an the whole surgical staff, office staff. Everyone is so nice. Dr. Miles is the best, he took special time to explain the procedure never forcing anything you don’t need or ask for. Dr. Miles really cares about his patients, the special accommodations, I needed an the care he truly shows. I am so please with results and the true meaning of a Dr. that cares all the way, even follow up appointments he is 100% attentive. I recommend Dr. Miles for any kind of plastic surgery. Well worth it. Thanks Dr. Miles for your kindness, caring you show.

I’m thrilled with my results! I had my upper eyelids done by Dr. Kim and am so happy with how they look. Dr. Kim is so gentle and made me feel completely at ease through the entire process. The facility is beautiful and the staff is wonderful

Although my words will truly never express how thankful I am for Dr. Filip, I am sure going to try. I am a little over a week out from my rhinoplasty surgery, and I am already just in awe. From the first consultation all the way up until my surgery day, I was taken care of exceptionally well. It felt like my goals were very much taken into consideration, and that we had the same outcome in mind. I struggled with a bump on my nose since I can remember, and it has definitely suppressed my confidence. I didn’t feel pretty, and constantly obsessed over the fact that I hated my nose. As soon as Dr. Filip removed my cast and handed me the mirror, I just couldn’t help but cry. It’s amazing that just days after my surgery I already feel like a new person. Dr. Filip, your ability to take something and turn it into a beautiful masterpiece is admirable. Your mannerisms, respect, and confidence left me feeling secure throughout my whole journey. I will forever be grateful for you and your work. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for now allowing me to walk confidently throughout the rest of my life.

I highly recommend AI and Dr. Kim. The staff are welcoming, friendly and caring. Dr. Kim is the best! She is so knowledgable and really listens to your concerns and takes her time to make sure you are comfortable. She is so caring and doesn’t try to talk you into a bunch of stuff you don’t need. She explained everything so I knew exactly what to expect. Dr. Kim is a very skilled and talented surgeon, outcome was great and very natural. I’m so happy with my results! Thank you, Dr. Kim and staff!
