I am so pleased with Dr. Kang and the laser treatments on my face. She was able to successfully remove many brown and red spots and I am so pleased with the results. She is also very easy to talk to and I appreciate all of her guidance and expertise.
The results speak for Dr. Kang’s knowledge and skills, and interactions her sharp and kind character. She listens and cares, genuine in making sure you get everything you need. Thanks again Dr. Kang, you’re one of a kind and it’s a no brainer referring you to anyone in my network
For many years I drove to Laguna to see a dermatologist I loved, but the long commute became too much. I’m beyond happy to have found someone I trust much closer to home. Dr Kang is incredibly skilled and I highly recommend her for anyone wanting beautiful natural looking results.
5+++ Stars for Dr. Kang.The best doctor at thoughtfully placing filler, by analyzing YOUR face, not a generic ‘place it in the same area, no matter the face size & shape’ kind of doctor.She is skilled and gentle. She narrates before each step, which helps you prepare mentally.She also introduced me to Daxxify as an alternative to Botox (which does not work on my skin for forehead wrinkles/lines).She is always friendly and so is her staff.I love this doctor and her office. The office is pristine clean, as well.Can’t say enough great things.Been a client/patient of hers for almost a year.
Dr. Kang is the absolute best! I've seen her multiple times now for melasma, skin texture, Botox, filler, and most recently hormonal acne. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns, and I've never once felt rushed or pressured into doing anything. She gives honest recommendations, explains everything thoroughly, and you can tell she truly cares about her patients and their results.She's also incredibly kind and personable. During every procedure, she makes you feel so comfortable that it feels more like you're catching up with a friend than having a treatment done. I completely trust her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely caring dermatologist.
