Edmund Kwan, MD

I had a procedure done by Dr. Kwan a year ago which I am very pleased with. I find Dr Kwan to be highly skillful and with an artistic sense of his work. His office operations are extremely efficient, and his staff is super-​nice. The office manager Rebecca and Nurse Betty are both so sweet and kind. My procedure looks great and completely natural, which was a big concern for me. Not a single person noticed anything! As far as the healing process, my scars did not heal as flatly as I would have liked. I went back to Dr Kwan recently to show them to him, and he did minor surgery to remove the thickening without even charging me. I really appreciated that. I will go back to him if I ever needed something else.

I am a victim of Dr kwan, I went to him for a procedure and he did not do the whole area. When I told him, all he can say, it looks better. He said if I want him to do it again he will have to charge me again. You believe charge me for his mistake. It is not right at all. He is not concerned about the quality of his work only about the money. All he did was run in the other room to conduct more business or victims each time of my visits. Times he didn’t even come himself cause he was with other people. sent his nurse. I wish I knew about Unilocal cause I see there are other people he messed up and took him to court even though they lost at least they had a voice and it is filed in the claims court showing he has done people wrong. I just wanted him to do the right thing and fix what he missed. I also felt some pain while I was under. He didn’t even numb the area enough. There is a God he will have to answer to, Please consider your options before going under his knife. And don’t be like me, read the reviews.

I am a regular patient of Dr. Kwan; have had a major surgery done with him last year and have been seeing him for various consultant and treatments.
I went to Dr. Kwan today for a juvederm filler. Even it is just a small procedure, Dr. Kwan spent a fair amount of time on me, very patient to listen to my needs, and give advices. The area of treatment is very tricky (between eyebrows) with lots of blood vein and nerves, and requires high precision. He managed it so well, and after injection, he used ice pack and hold pressure on it to shape it. The outcome was perfect, looks very smooth and natural, exactly what I wanted.
Based on my several years experience with Dr. Kwan, I highly trust and am confident in having procedures with him, whether it is big surgery or just a small filler. He indeed has the knowledge, experience and practical skill in what he does; to help patients bring out their beauty.
Dr. Kwan is also very patient and kind, he treats each patient personally, and pursues perfection in every procedure he performed. Also I find his price quite fair and competitive, for someone with that level of skills and office equipment.
Trustworthy, skillful, kind. Always delightful experience when I visit his office.

Dr Edmund Kwan was referred to me by friend who is in the medical field himself as well and is highly respected and renowned. He has made several appearances on the Doctors, ABC and Dr OZ.
My first impression was when I made my initial appointment for a consultation. The lady on the other end of the phone sounded very nice and welcoming. It was very comforting.
The practice is immaculate. Beautiful, clean, spacious and modern. It smelled nice and I really like the way they schedule their patients, not once did I feel awkward or just a number. The staff treated me very kindly, with respect and genuine smiles.
Dr Kwan is a real professional in my opinion. He took the time to listen to my story, addressed my concerns and took his time to walk me through the process and give me his opinion and explanation on his recommendation. Yes I agree that he is not a chatty Doctor, he is to the point and professional. If I want someone to chat with, I’ll go for coffee with my friends.
I believe that his pricing is extremely fair and competitive, especially for the level of service I experienced. Not once did I feel pushed into committing to the surgery. I waited 4 months before contacting him to tell him that I was ready.
I had my surgery in his practice and we went over everything again before I met up with the anesthesiologist, who was equally as nice and professional as everyone else at his practice. We started counting bikes … and after bike #6 I fell a sleep. When I woke up, he was there to tell me I did great and before I knew it I was in a taxi cab back home with my best friend who came to pick me up.
So I don’t know if this is typical, but I had no pain whatsoever after the surgery … yes I had discomfort, but after 2 days I was ready to go back to work and go about life. However, I took his advice to heart and took it easy. When I had to come back a couple of days later for a check up /​get the drains out … Dr Kwan told me that I wasn’t ready for that yet and decided to leave them in. I was not happy but knowing myself, this def was a blessing in disguise because it forced me to take it easy for a couple of days longer.
Fast forward 3 months. I am very very happy with the results. Dr Kwan did an amazing job and I couldn’t be more pleased.

I had a great experience with Dr. Kwan and his staff members. Everyone is very kind and professional. I had a full tummy tuck done 18 months ago. Everything went better than I even expected. I am very pleased with procedure he has done on me. Great results! Great price! I am recommending to Dr. Kwan two of my friends, one will do tummy tuck & the other one will do face lift. I hope they will be happy much as I am.

Dr. Kwan did a breast reduction for me 11 yrs ago. his work was amazing n i was very pleased. since then i had 2 children n of course im 11 yrs older now as well lol. my tummy was way out of control n i wanted a tummy tuck so why not go back to Dr. Kwan right? EVEN THOU HIS BED SIDE MANNER R HORRIBLE. he literally walks out on u as u r speaking to him. anyway i had my TT done 6÷20÷2013. at first i was in loveeeeeee cause i seen other TT on youtube n they did not look as good as mine. well so i thought!!! until my swelling went down n i had a flat tummy with LOVE HANDLES :(((um he supposedly did lipo suction so why the love handles after a month??? i was dieting n excercising cause i did jus spend 8 thousand dollars. today 8÷19÷2013 1 day to being 2 months post op i went to see him n show him my love handles. HE SAID I DID WUT I CUD FOR U N NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE!!! i told him i was not happy n he said ur surgery looks much better then others n walked out on me… i went back to doctor kwan cause of the good job he did on my breasts. had i known he was gonna treat me like this with my tummy tuck i wuda never went back to him… i am not a bitter patient, jus very dissappointed. i wish i can post pics for everyone to see but i cnt. So with that being said this is my email address for anyone who wants to see how a flat belly with love handles look. (
) i will b more then glad to show u pictures n u can b the judge!!! i would also like to add that he charges a 275 dollar processing fee that HE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO ADD but because care credit charges him the 275 dollars to get his money up he thinks its ok to take it from his patients… CARE CREDIT REFUNDED ME MY MONEY!!!

Terrible bedside manner. Uncaring and not meticulous in his work. Thank god I only got temporary filler from him. He tried to sell me a brow lift and eyelid surgery and I’m glad I only did the filler to try him out. His office manager is a heavy set woman (not being mean just letting you know so you can spot her) who spent her time heating up her food in the microwave when I told her my exam room was too hot. I had to open the exam room door they were so cheap there was no AC. They put me in the back supply room on my second visit, very unprofessional for a Upper East side doctors office. My first visit though, I was put in his front room, the larger one. Don’t be fooled.
After my filler injection, he and his staff never told me to schedule a follow-​up visit as is usual after a doctor performs a procedure. They also did not give me care instructions or what to expect. I had to look it all up online myself when I got home. My second visit I called in myself because I was concerned with the bumps on my nose.
His front desk assistants are super sweet though. Good mask for what he really is — a terrible uncaring doctor out to make money. He is nice until after you pay. Then you are treated like chopped liver. My money is gone but I’d rather pay another doctor to fix his lumpy nose work than have him touch my face again. Money will come and go but your face is forever. Don’t risk it. That’s why his consultations are free. Beware and do your homework and see many doctors for consults before choosing. I wish I did that.
I also wish I had seen this before I went to Dr Kwan. The way this victim described Dr. Kwan’s personality is completely accurate. I’m glad I didn’t have eye surgery with him. I understand no doctor is perfect. But the way a doctor responds to his patients should be better than Dr Kwan, who will say «I have other patients to see» in response to you trying to explain what you are not satisfied with.

I highly recommend Dr. Kwan and I believe his rates are reasonable for Manhattan. He did my rhinoplasty in 2004 — there was virtually no pain and swelling and the recovery was quick. No one has been able to tell that I got a rhinoplasty after all these years. If I were to have another cosmetic procedure, I would go back to Dr. Kwan for it.

I’ve been going for years now and the office is professional and friendly. I’m very happy with the results.

Hello everyone!
I had TWO surgeries by Dr. Kwan; the first in April 2009 and the second in November 2009. I had a breast augmentation and liposuction of my abdomen, flanks, thighs, knees and arms. I was VERY pleased with the results. I had liposuction from Dr. Howard Bellin in January of 2009 and he did a HORRIBLE JOB. He totally ignored my upper abdomen and created incredible waviness and distortion in my abdomen. Dr. Kwan CORRECTED his botched job. Dr, Kwan is an «in and out» type of surgeon. He does free consults and this he answers questions 1−2−3. I would reccomend Dr. Kwan for liposuction or breast augmentation. I cannot comment on eyelid surgeries or anything facial related.

Your review
I am a victim of Dr. Kwan — — 2010-​07-​31
My husband and I went to Dr. Kwan to remove the bagginess under our eyes. With Dr. Kwan’s further recommendation (his sales), my husband agreed to have cosmetic work done on the upper eyelid as well.
The results were terrible. For my husband, the upper eyelid treatment left him with one eye bigger than the other. And for both of us, he barely removed the bagginess — there was little improvement. In addition, I was left with scars above and under my eyes.
We were frustrated and booked a follow-​up meeting via his secretary to discuss the problematic results. When I arrived at his office, he denied to talk to me, instead call the police, kicked me out. So, we proceeded to bring this issue to court. And we lost the litigation because malpractice sue depend on wrongdoing of medical procedure not on bad outcomes. He was the only one to explaine the procedure of surgeries what he did, of course, he said everything was right.
My husband now has to live with twodifferent sized eyes — he has to wear sunglass even indoors. And the area underneath both eyes look awful. We are the victims of Dr. Kwon. It was a nightmare!!!
