Plastic Surgery: Testimonial for Dr Colin Hong

Dr. Hong really listened to my questions and answered them. His results are proof of this. The smallprocedures he did make me look "refreshed and rejuvenated", rather than look obvious or artificial. Feedback from my own friends has been fantastic. He is highly professional and very careful, with all that he does. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering any kind of cosmetic work.

Otoplasty (Ear surgery): Testimonial for Dr Colin Hong

Dr. Hong,

I just want you to know how happy and satisfied I am with the surgery you did for me.

You have changed my life… For many years, I suffered from loss of confidence based on other people’s reactions, which started in my early years at school. As an adult, I tried to overcome it. In my profession, as doctor of abnormal psychology, I have tried to understand my early traumas and personal failures. You have become a large part of my personal healing… your work changed my appearance and therefore I was able to build my confidence and no longer be afraid to pull back my hair and smile.

You took my requests and questions seriously and took the time to explain the whole procedure to me beforehand so I knew exactly what would happen both before and after. I was impressed when you told me that you say a prayer before every surgery. That is what I did, too! I spent a lot of time travelling through the world and learned lessons given to me by God. I have learned to meditate and look at the world from a different perspective. However, until after the surgery, I couldn’t see myself in a different light.

During the surgery, you showed me a different light of you… a man who is not only skilled to do his job but is a very sensitive, good man, whom I trust. After my surgery, I have referred you many of my patients who I know you have taken good care of.

You are an amazing man, wonderful doctor and an excellent professional who is not only able to transform lives, but also, is humble and appreciative. I very much appreciate your work… I see it every day and it always makes me smile. I think of you as a gift sent by God, who was able to compromise my personal demons. I have been thinking about otoplasty for over 20 years and in the last 5 years I have been searching for a surgeon… I never found one I trusted until I met you.

Today is almost a year since my surgery. My anniversary will be on July 9, 2009 and for me, that was the day I was born again… Thank you for helping me in my healing journey. Thank you for being there for me and taking the time for any request I had.

The professional response of Georgia, the woman with the beautiful smile and amazing understanding of the situation, is so much appreciated. Her dedication and commitment makes a difference. During my surgery your amazing staffs were always smiling and helpful before and after my surgery. Both my surgeries went very well and today they look fantastic to me and that’s what matters. You changed my life. Thank you.

Hip Surgery: Testimonial for Dr Colin Hong

Dear Doctor Hong and Staff,

I wanted to write this as a thank you. But a thank you is only 2 words. I have many words to say. I had an issue with my hip and not only did you take the time and courtesy to fix it, you finished it off with a smile. No longer will I have to make trips to the emergency room. No longer will I require different medications to keep the problem at bay. There is no longer a problem. You made sure of that. I appreciate everything you've done for me Doctor Hong. Your waiting room may need to get bigger one day. But that's only because everyone knows just how good of a job you do. Your staff always had a smile on their faces as well which is a very important and memorable thing. It keeps spirits high. It most certainly did for me.

The price of a consult, a little waiting time.
The price of a surgical procedure, a few bucks.
Walking without a limp and without drugs, Priceless.

Thanks again,

Eddie Kee

Rhinoplasty Surgery: Testimonial for Dr Colin Hong

Rhinoplasty surgery involves many risks and important choices. The first and most important is selecting a surgeon I can trust. Choosing one was not easy for me. I first, researched everywhere I could; on the internet, asked friends and went for more than five consultations. I quickly learned that the surgeon must complete at least five years of surgical training with a minimum of two years in plastic surgery. The surgeon must be trained and experienced in all plastic surgery procedures, including breast, body, face and reconstruction. The surgeon also must be certified by the Royal College of Physicians and surgeons of Canada. Once I check marked all of the above, I was still confused due to a lack of trust in healthcare system.

Three months later I met a girl who did breast augmentation with Dr. Colin Hong. She was bragging about how it looks natural and perfect. After a long detailed conversation she gave Dr. Colin Hong’s phone number to me. I decided to go for another last consultation with Dr. Colin Hong. He, like any other doctor, explained to me the options and answered all my questions. He seems very competent but I still could not make a decision, so I went back on the internet and looked for any information that may lead me to a “bad practice” by Dr. Colin Hong. It seems like I was waiting for the perfect excuse not to do it even though I had a good feeling about him. I searched for “bad surgery goes wrong by Dr. Colin Hong. I came across an article that finally gave me the courage to choose Dr. Colin Hong as my future surgeon. The only “bad” related article was about a patient that was treated by Dr. Colin Hong after a horrifying surgery done by a previous unqualified surgeon. The story moved me knowing how a plastic surgeon that seen so many cases still took on this challenge with great sympathy.

Finally, I felt it’s ok to put my trust in Dr. Hong’s hands on top of his fascinating Educational profile. In this billion dollar industry I thought that for doctors - it’s all about money- and Dr. Colin Hong changed that for me very fast. After my surgery everything was clear to me that there are still good doctors out there. Not only that he and his staff kept in constant touch with me, every concern or question was regarded with respect. I recall the nurse Alla holding my hand when I expressed fear and pain in the recovery stage. She said “don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere”.

The time “after surgery” was the big indicator of how wonderful everyone was. The nurse Georgia was very competent and sensitive to my needs. She understood the embarrassing feeling being with bruises and bandages and directed me to the back door so no one can see me like that. Without waiting time, they gave me a priority while the waiting room is packed with new clients. I soon noticed that they treat their entire patients in this gentle manner.

The last but not least is my great new look- My rhinoplasty surgery was a great success- Dr. Colin Hong told me that people will not notice the difference with my new look and he was absolutely right. No one could ever guess that I did a rhinoplasty surgery without me telling them. This helps my guilt feelings and my mixed emotions that this is a very superficial thing to do. The result was more than I can ask for- He is an artist in my eyes- he sculpted my nose to perfection. It looks so natural that I cannot remember the one I had before, a perfect match for my appearance that is amazing!!!. Everyone complemented me about how good I look and I feel amazing.

I am writing this to express my deep gratitude for the superior care of Dr. Colin Hong and his staff. I especially appreciated the straight-forward way in which Dr. Colin Hong communicated and know I will be certain to continue to recommend him to everyone I know.

For anyone who wishes to confirm my letter, I will be more than happy to share my experience with you. Please do not hesitate to ask for my contact number from Dr. Colin Hong.
