All of his reviews online have been more than enough to make me feel confident about choosing him. I'm excited to see how everything goes and will definitely keep y'all updated throughout the experience!

I came here for a consultation because I saw really good reviews online. When I went in to see the…read moredoctor he was at first pleasant & sweet seemed to be asking me the right questions but shortly right after gave off that he was annoyed and the consult became rushed. When I asked for photos of people with similar cases like mine he pretty much brushed me off & suggested I visit their website for photos. Why would I do that if you're literally right in front of me hahah. Show me photos educate me you're the surgeon who I may potentially pay thousands and thousands to perform this procedure. Anyways after our rushed procedure the sales team gets a hold of me lol and they just went right into pricing .. didn't ask me about the consult didn't even introduce themselves I was shocked !!! The whole experience came off rushed and very sales driven. I even expressed that to the sales girls) I really believe if the surgeon took his time explaining things and behaved like someone who cared about me instead of my $$ this would have been a totally different experience. People are coming to you to spend tons and tons of money. They're not an inconvenience as soon as they want questions answered, very unprofessional. The 2 stars is for that fact that he doesn't charge a consult fee (shocking )

I had surgery at uCI cancer center with a plastic surgeon for a breathing problem unrelated to Tayani, where when they disinfected my face with a chemical' disinfectant and burned my corneas! Originally my eyes were taped shut by my Anesthesiologist for intubation. When the surgeon removed the tape off my eyes to prep me for surgery the chemicals seeped into my eyes and burned both corneas sat there my whole surgery for hours. Most painful, worst experience of my life. I've been going here to Tayani's for many many years. Had surgery by Dr Tayani himself too and had Dr Rebecca Ng as my eye Dr for many years here also she was just off this day when I rushed in screaming for help! When I had this horrible experience and was treated horribly without even rinsing my eyes while I screamed at the top of my lungs at Mission Providence Hospital and even my paramedic that delivered me to the ambulance begged them to rinse my eyes it went no where at all. Avoid that place like the plague! Tayani staff , initially Dr. Lanier and the other Drs on staff that day took me in as a walk in the same day of surgery. Then all four Dr's went into the treatment room I was in and each took turns evaluating the damage to my eyes and each made an assessment of the chemical burns. They all agreed to put stem cell plasma on one eye that was worse and a contact lense on the other to help them heal. I was still in severe pain they send me to UCI hospital in Orange where they have optometrist but as usual no one even looked at my eyes there after hours screaming I got morphine and sent home. They were more concerned about my mental health and missed the mark. Never even looked at my eyes or saw the eye Dr! I went back to the lovely Drs here at Tayani and they send me to UCi research center where they had an eye surgeon that put a very thick plasma stem cell ring over the ripped cornea and helped me heal entirely. If I would have not gone here ti Tayani's, the 2 ERs from two hospitals would have left me blind and screaming in pain for weeks I'm sure. I owe Tayani institute Drs for saving me from going blind and unimaginable pain. Where no hospital ER could help these guys all figured out what was wrong and got me to the right place even walked me and my parents with Alzheimer's to the car as I was completely blind literally. Scariest moment of my entire 49'years alive. This is the place to go! They are passionate, caring, kind, professionals with amazing bedside manner and I couldn't have picked a better place to go. These guys are serious and know what they are doing!! You are lucky if you can get anyone of these Drs especially Dr Lanier take you in as a patient. I will never forget. All the staff there and your kindness.

Her staff are all well trained and knowledgeable, my microneedling esthetician Sophia is the best! She's detailed, patient, and takes pride of what she's doing. I'm happy with the result and looking forward to taking the next session very soon!

Response to Amoderm:…read more Your response contains several inaccurate statements. My concerns did not "magically reappear" after 8 years. The swelling, lumps, discoloration, and contour irregularities have been present continuously since the original treatment and have been documented throughout the past eight years by multiple medical professionals. Shortly after the filler was placed, I sought evaluation from a nationally recognized injector and trainer who diagnosed malar edema and advised that the filler had been improperly placed. This was my first experience with tear trough filler or any filler. Since then, I have consulted numerous injectors, vein specialists, and oculoplastic surgeons, all of which is documented. Contrary to your statement, there is extensive published discussion within the aesthetic community regarding the long-term complications of tear trough filler, including persistent swelling, malar edema, Tyndall effect, migration, and filler remaining detectable years after injection. These are recognized complications and not claims I have invented. I have never stated that this experience was a "new" problem that suddenly appeared after eight years. I have consistently stated that it has been an ongoing issue since the original treatment. My review reflects my personal experience and documented medical history. Facts, opinions, and personal experiences are not defamation. Since you have suggested legal action, I welcome the opportunity to pursue this further.

My hunt was over the second I met this doctor and if you're lucky enough to stumble upon him, you'll understand why. A little over 3 weeks ago I got a breast reduction/ lift (2/10/20). I am beyond thrilled with my results and showing them off like crazy--My friends, family & I can't believe what an incredible transformation Ive had because of this miracle worker. I can't rave enough about Dr.K, he really cares about his patients and I felt like his top priority at all times. He handles everything so effortlessly, he's patient, attentive and has such an empathetic being that allows you to trust him fully. His work is BEAUTIFUL it's obvious how thorough and detailed he is during surgery. Also the whole office works together so well and make you feel like family right away. This was the best decision of my life and I cant imagine going though this with any other team.

I've been dreaming of fixing it for over ten years. Finally pulled the trigger and went with Dr. K after getting a few consults. He's so kind and patient. Answers all your questions and takes his time with you. He was so reassuring and made me feel safe and well taken care of. I love my results and just wish I was able to do it sooner. It was so worth it. Thank you Dr. K, Karen and the rest of the staff at his office.

Surgeon Kyle Song did my surgery when I was in my early 20s. Looking back now, I truly wish I had…read moredone more research before getting plastic surgery or had been more informed about breast augmentation in general. Unfortunately, I am still suffering from the results over 10 years later and cannot afford to repair the mistakes. I continue to have a double bubble issue on both breasts. After my first surgery, I experienced complications and developed a hematoma. I later went back in to fix the issues, but the outcome remained the same. What has been most difficult is that I was never offered a proper solution, revision support, or even a meaningful follow-up conversation about next steps. I paid over $8,000 for a surgery that has left me deeply insecure for more than a decade. I avoid bikinis, feel uncomfortable in my own body, and honestly feel heartbroken over the results. I have since consulted with other surgeons who explained that the implant placement was not done correctly, which likely contributed to the double bubble deformity and overall appearance. They also explained what would be required to repair the damage, but I simply cannot afford another $10,000 surgery. I am sharing this because, for years, I stayed quiet. I tried to be polite, not bother anyone, and even blamed myself. But now at 36, I've reached a breaking point and feel it's important to speak honestly about my experience. I hope women take the time to research thoroughly, meet with multiple surgeons and not go to the first surgeon they google like I did and ask difficult questions, and really think through their decision before moving forward. This was the first place I went to, and I trusted them completely. I miss my old self and appearance. The results have affected my confidence for years, and I hope one day I can afford to fix them. This is simply my personal experience, but I also wish the office had reached out over the years, checked on me, or acknowledged that the surgeries were not successful. I still have all the surgery paperwork and amount I paid, I look it and just wish there was an attempt to correct the mistakes or issues -Daisy
